Captain Tsubasa is a soccer-themed manga by Yoichi Takahashi.

Story:
The story focuses on the 11-year-old boy Tsubasa Ohzora. His dream is to be a football star and he wants to win the World Cup with Japan. The story was very entertaining, I often read 5 or more volumes in a row^^

Characters:
The characters are young school boys who love to play soccer. There are Tsubasa´s friends, like Genzo Wakabayashi, Taro Misaki and Jun Misugi. But he has also many rivals, like Kojiro Hyuga. The team´s trainer is the former member of the Brazil national team Roberto Hongo, who had to end his career due to an eye ... injury. I liked almost every character.

Art:
The manga is over twenty years old, but nevertheless the style is very nice. Of course CT is no match to newer manga.

My opinion:
I like sports manga. And I´m also a huge soccer fan, so I had to read Captain Tsubasa. In my opinion CT is the best available soccer manga. A must-read for soccer fans and other people that are interested in sports.

I discovered the manga of 'CT' by chance one day at newsstands and at the beginning I did not even understand what it was.
This is the first manga I have read in absolute, I immediately recovered the arrears and started collecting it.
In this way 'CT' introduced me to the manga universe.
I like the graphic style and the optimistic vision you can find there.
'Ct' is based on 'the ball is my friend' and 'you can't win alone'.
Recently 'CT' had a special room in the exhibition of' '80 of Shūeisha and was also present in that of '90.
'CT' is a neverending series who follows from more that ... 37 years.
It's amomg the best 25 series manga of Shūeisha of the last 50 years, that is to say those series with that 'something more'.
Considering the fact that it is very famous in the world and that probably led to the creation of the J-League in Japan, this should be easy to understand.
'CT' is and always will be a legend! Don't forget!
