The best anime ever. You will never see something of this quality again. What do you want? Suspense? Sadness? Happiness? Romance? Passion? It has it all. It is a unique story. This anime changed the life, not just mine, of Japanese football. Perfectly developed characters, quality seiyus, 1st level animation. And it is not cliché at all. Tsukushi Tsukamoto is the best character of all. You love him from the first second of the first chapter. I write this with tears of emotion falling from my eyes. They have to release the 2nd season RIGHT NOW. Eternally grateful to the best anime ever.
