review:
'Sayonara, Football 1' by Naoshi Arakawa is a sports manga about soccer.

Nozomi Onda just wants to play soccer, but she is a girl and her school only has a boys team. That doesn't stop Onda from practicing with the team and practicing harder than anyone. When a rival team is coming to play the team, Onda finds the team has a boy from her past. Will Onda ever get to play?

I like sports manga, but this one might be a tough sell to Western audiences. The argument is made repeatedly that Onda is a female, and slighter in build and muscle than the boys. Still, I found it a fun read and the art of the games was pretty exciting.

I received a review copy of this manga from Kodansha Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
