In a quiet rural town, the spotlight of a local junior high school football team rests on one player: Ashito Aoi. Known for his unpredictable moves and self-centered playing style, Ashito is the sole powerhouse pushing his team through an important high school preliminary tournament. However, their win streak is short-lived—an opponent causes Ashito to lose his temper and act violently, resulting in his removal from the rest of the game. The first volume ends in the middle of the first tests at the Esperion Football Club, but we find out that chances are slim for those who are looking to make the team.

This manga is very realistic in its art style. Some of the side characters really look like they edge to Naoki Urusawa territory. Every character is very distinct, not just the way their hair looks (what lazy artists aspire to) but their whole getup is uniquely and well designed. Its nice to see that not everything has to be bishonen or bishojo. The kid who provokes Ashito and his parents really look like normal, everyday people and its refreshing to see something like that. Aoashi is a manga by Yuugo Kobayashi. It is his first serialisted/ manga of note. In 2020 it won the Shogakukan Manga Award for the general category. The manga has been ongoing since January 2015. There are over 250 chapters published and 27 volumes. The manga will be adopted into an anime by Production I. G. and will premiere in April of 2022.
