Kodansha describe the story:
After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan's team struggles to regroup. But what's missing? An absolute Ace Striker, who can guide them to the win. The Japan Football Union is hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match...and to do so, they've gathered 300 of Japan's best and brightest youth players. Who will emerge to lead the team...and will they be able to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in their way?
In August 2018, Kaneshiro and Nomura published the manga in Weekly Shnen Magazine. On Tuesday, Kodansha released the manga's 15th compiled book volume. Earlier this year, the manga won the Best Shnen Manga award at Kodansha's 45th annual Manga Awards.
Kaneshiro previously collaborated with artist Akeji Fujimura on the manga Kami-sama no Iu Toori (As the Gods Will) in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shnen Magazine from 2011 to 2012. In 2013, Kodansha's Weekly Shnen Magazine published a sequel series titled As the Gods Will: The Second Series (Kami-sama no Iu Toori Ni). The manga came to an end in December of 2016. Crunchyroll released chapters online concurrently with the Japanese release, and Kodansha Comics released the 21 compiled volumes digitally.
