Yeah, I started reading this then just kind of fell off after the third chapter. And it's always near the bottom on the list of manga on the app.

The art is a little rough, but I didn't hate it, and there are plenty of series I like with rough art. But the story was just 100% predictable from the start, I got bored.

I kind of think this was an editorial failure (why did you not make this more interesting?). Good luck to the mangaka with the next one!

I didn't understand exactly what the story was about. A young girl pursuing a football career? A young romance story? It sounded like a manga from someone who barely watched a game of football and just picked some ideas like "passing", "dribbling", etc.

Not to talk that the author seemed to de-age the characters in order to have boys and girls in the same teams, but without updating the art. Which makes the pantyshot of the main character (a 13 year old girl) in fhe first episode worse even.

Huh, I might check it out...I like the idea of a sports romance.
