Sayonara, Football

Before Farewell, My Dear Cramer (Arakawa's current series) and Your Lie in April, there was ... Sayonara, Football, Naoshi Arakawa's breakthrough soccer manga!

14-year-old Nozomi Onda has only one thing on her mind: playing beautiful soccer. There's just one problem: no matter how much she longs to participate in official matches, she'd have physically superior boys as opponents. But when a boy from her past confronts her on the street, she decides she can't wait any longer.
