Aoi Ashito is an ace of a weak soccer team at a junior high school in Ehime. His play almost gets the team to the semi-final in his last tournament in junior high, but provoked by the opponent’s goalie, Ashito receives a red card and is removed from the game. While Ashito is running on the beach to forget the frustration, mysterious Fukuda Tatsuya, who calls himself the manager of Tokyo City Esperion Youth team, approaches Ashito.
But what about high school? You missed
 out on that recommendation, didn't you?
لكن ماذا عن الثّانويّة؟ فوتّ تلك التّوصية، أليس كذلك؟
Aber was wirst du denn jetzt machen?
¿Qué vas a hacer con la escuela?
¿Qué vas a hacer con el instituto?
Tu comptes faire quoi
pour le lycée ?
Però... come farai, per le superiori?
Mas e o colegial? Você perdeu 
a recomendação, não foi?
Только… ты в какую школу-то теперь?
