Synopsis

The beautiful, genuine pearls we lust after belong in a chain... because that is how they bind our hearts. Hisa, the newest manager of her high school's soccer club, has a secret: a part-time job. If anyone knew, she would either have to quit the job she needs to survive or the sport that she loves. Sakyou, one of the team's most talented and anti-social members, finds out about Hisa's secret... so it's a good thing for Hisa that the handsome and high-handed Sakyou wants to keep her close to him! Or is it?

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 ...

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.
