Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (25/? eps)

Kind of dissapointed. This is a rags to riches story about a fat boy who wants to play soccer and become the best. It is a good premise but the pacing at the beginning is pretty slow and boring. It has gotten better in the more recent chapters but overall its not the most captivating story. The art is fine but not the best and the characters are not very likeable. As a huge fan of soccer, I wish that the plot was more interesting like Haikyuu or Hajime no Ippo, but this manhwa really does not deliver when it comes to the plot.

Overall, ...
