Synopsis
Kakeru Aizawa stays on the sidelines as his soccer team's manager while his gifted older brother Suguru pursues a future representing Japan. Suguru, however, believes Kakeru can become the striker their shared dream needs, despite his younger brother's loss of confidence.
A tragic accident separates them and leaves Kakeru alive with Suguru's transplanted heart. Returning to the field means carrying grief alongside ambition, and facing new teammates and rivals as he tries to reclaim his ability in front of goal and pursue their dream in his own right.
