A year of depression passed since a barely ever mentioned accident and Kikuzato has given up his former soccer-career, growing away from his best soccer-buddy and feeling misunderstood at home when he is approached by a stranger named Chidori. He reveals to be an specialist for artificals limps looking for an athlete to promote his new-founded company by donating his very first tournament-prothesis. So the two oft hem team up…
I liked that the story skipped the traumatizing part of loosing a limp and focused on the challenges after - such as dealing with a new perspective, struggeling with the opinions of others and fighting the own shortcomings while never giving up beeing ambitious.
That‘s the first manga I read that included COVID. Sadly thats also the reason for its rather rushed ending I guess. I would have loved to see(!) how far they could have progressed but I think the ending is ok as it is.
Despite or beacause all of that it is a very special kind of sports manga I can only recommand! :-)
