Create the world’s greatest and most egoistic striker. High school forward Yoichi Isagi is invited to join 299 other talented players in a ruthless competition where only one will survive.

Every match is designed to push players beyond their limits and crush their weaknesses. Friendships are tested as teammates become direct competitors. With sharp artwork and high-stakes drama, this volume sets the stage for a brutal fight for glory. Perfect for fans of sports manga with a dark, competitive twist.
