Read Manga
Nobody has written a review of this? I guess this shall be my first Review ;)
This series is rather short, but honestly very enjoyable! I like the characters and Onda's determination is very inspiring~! It deals with the whole Girls vs. Boys, and "who's stronger" kind of factor that we have in real life. The fact that despite age, boys do become physically taller and stronger then girls and Onda's whole inner conflict us with that realization and wanting to prove she can battle against them atleast one more time. It's honestly one of my favorite Soccer mangas and short mangas.

Okay, that's a really good history
I've never seen an female protagonist in a soccer history, I really loved it, Onda is such a nice character. This series used a bunch of cliches, buts they are pretty well worked. So it's really not a problem, anyways you can read it in one night and it's worth. Some points didn't have the deserved ending, but I'll let them passa because I know there's a series of Onda on High School releasing today (Sayonara, watashi no cramer). But you don't have to worry about having to read the new series, this one have a good closure and it's a history ...

For a manga consisting of only two volumes, it's good, but if you are expecting a tear-jerking and overwhelmingly dramatic story like Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, you are in for a disappointment.
Nonetheless, Sayonara Football is a very entertaining and also quite heartwarming sports manga. Main heroine Onda is a middle-schooler with great talent and passion for soccer, but tormented by the thought of being left behind by her male teammates as time passes and their bodies grow larger and manlier. When confronted by a former friend and now rival, she starts her quest to gain her spot in the team to play an ...

Sayonara football is a very inspiring and heartwarming manga. It is very well-paced and handles the debate of "girls v boys" very well, and does realize that boys do get physically stronger than girls when they get older.
The main character, Onda, is a very inspiring one, as she is determined to beat all of her opponents, no matter what obstacles come her way! It's also nice to see a female protag in a football manga. The artwork was very pretty and I enjoyed it. Overall I enjoyed and would recommend reading sayonara football, it's very short and you could finish it in one night. |
