Whistle!, Vol. 16

Everybody has a dream, and for Shô Kazamatsuri, that dream is simple: he wants to be the best soccer player he can possibly be. He’s the spirited leader of the Josui Junior High team and everyone looks up to him. In turn, he tries to keep the team together at any cost!

Shô barely manages to make it onto the special select team as backup alternate player. When the team plays against Rakuyô Junior High in their very first game, they learn the hard way that skill alone isn’t enough–they need to abandon their egos and come together as a unified group. But will any player be able to emerge as a leader and bring the team together?
