This is somewhat a sports centered romance, but it doesn't detract from the lovey dovey moments in any way. That said, the mush isn't mushy enough to be moving, and the story behind the manga is so ... 80's and terribly trite that you might be asking how it's possible for the characters to deliver their lines with a straight face!
This manga centres around a lively and cheerful Hisa who's a manager on the soccer team. She's hardworking and very sweet so she's adored by the entire team (their "angel"), but particularly by one senpai who she's knows for quite a while now. But she

When I'm looking for something to read, I always look at the reviews.
The reviews I've read so far about this story, weren't really good. I wanted to see if the manga was all that bad. I can't believe stuff without seeing it for myself... and yet another disappointment. I really couldn't see the point was in reading this anymore. There actually was no original plot or story. All there was, was two people who fall in love, take away each others virginity after a few days of meeting, a friend gets hurt etc.. The only thing I like about the story is the art. Even though ...

This manga is not something you want to read if you like a dramatic build up to the romance. It is nothing like Kaichou wa-Maid Sama! or any of those building up the love. It is more like teenage attraction.
After just a few days of meeting each other, the two do it on a table....No sense of romanticism there. Also, this type of sexual thing is in every chapter. There was really no plot and the title has nothing to do with the story. This story is amusing when it comes to the soccer players' reactions to knowing the relationship of the main characters, ...

For starters, this is my first review and englisch is not my native language so plz forgive me if there if spell some words wrong.
Thes story is very basic: the cute, new manager of the soccer team Hisa has a part-time job to support her family. This has to be kept a secret because if the school founds out, she has to quit being the manager. However, this secret is discoverd by Sakyou, the handsome, star player of the soccer team and then gues what happens: they start dating (they also have sex very fast). This story is more mature than story's like kaichou wa ... |
