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! Banned from his school's soccer team for being too short, Shô Kazamatsuri decides there's only one thing left to do: switch schools! But even a change in scenery doesn't help the David Beckham wannabe. On campus, he is mistakenly introduced to everyone as a hotshot soccer player. When the truth is revealed, Shô drops out of school to practice on his own. Alone, the spunky teenager must work twice as hard to make his dreams come true. He wants to play soccer so bad he's willing to hustle day and night to make it happen. Packed with action, humor and teenage kicks, Whistle! is a must-read for dreamers (and soccer fans) of all ages!

Whistle!, Volume 1
Whistle is an interesting series. The author was clearly just becoming familiar with the game, as Japan was finally fielding a World Cup team of note. The series is filled with small footnotes about the game, the terminology and even the designs of soccer shoes.
The story itself is about Sho, a junior high student who loves soccer, but who initially went to such a soccer-crazy school that he wasn't allowed to even TRY to play, as only the best-of-the-best could play for the school team. Small for his age, Sho was only permitted to clean the soccer balls and the shoes of the varsity players.
Sho changes schools just to have the chance to play soccer, moving in with his brother, a professional male escort. Amazingly, there is only a small amount of comedy related to his brother's profession. The story is mostly a serious study of a boy obsessed with the sport he loves. As such, it is a great success.
