It's a no-balls-barred battle to become Japan's next top striker, in this Squid Game meets World Cup manga, now available in print! Anime coming soon! Are you the world's top egoist? After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan's team struggles to regroup. But what's missing? An absolute ace striker.
