A good sport manga: Area no Kishi

Hi, my friends! Are you a football fan? If you are answer is YES, do not miss this manga named Area no Kishi by Igano Hiroaki!!! It is another football manga like Captain Tsubasa.
Believing himself to be useless at football, Aizawa Kakeru opts to become the manager of his school's football team, while his brother Suguru is its ace, and is even good enough to represent Japan. However, Kakeru may be harbouring a strong talent within himself that only Suguru can see, and the two often get into arguments over Kakeru's denial of his skills. Things are made more complicated with the return of Seven, an old playmate of theirs that Kakeru has a crush on. Join the brothers in their journey to the national and even international championships!
Coming from someone who rarely reads sports manga, this one is pretty good. I just read the first chapter, and found that although it seems just another football manga, something feels different. The main character is a big mistery at the beggining, and doesn't fit with with your typical sport manga lead, the developing was interesting, and so the way you get to know more about him. The art is pretty clean (it's easier to understand than some others I've seen), and there's more to it than I thought there would be.
Anyway, give this a try, even if you wouldn't normally touch this type of manga. It is a really wonderful manga to worth to reading.
