Sayonara, Football, Volume 1

Nozomi wants to play in an official soccer match, but she’s told she can’t play because she’s a girl. Arakawa makes the contrast between watching and playing especially sharp when she finally gets a chance to use what she knows about the field. The original story is complete in English volumes 1 and 2. English print volume 3 begins the separately titled Japanese sequel Farewell, My Dear Cramer.
