Sakurai Shizumi was just a shy, average student at Teikoku Gakuen until she bumped into Kidou, captain of the most prestigious soccer club in Japan, in the halls one day and was forced to become the school's soccer team's manager or be expelled from Teikoku Gakuen. What she hadn't taken in mind before signing the contract was that being Teikoku's manager meant serving the rude and arrogant Kidou, Genda, Sakuma, and Fudou until she graduates from Teikoku Gakuen and following their every order.
But be careful boys, you guys aren't the only scary ones around. Everyone is two faced and have secrets they'll do anything for to keep hidden, especially those who appear the most innocent on the outside.
The more they delve deeper into soccer and the Football Frontier, more clues about a shady past start showing themselves. The darkness of soccer and the Football Frontier is a curse that will chase after them forever. You can hide, but you can never escape.
"Victory is only a façade, a mirage within the field that is our cage."
After all, it's just a game.
