Background
The main character, Endou Mamoru (円堂 守), is a very talented goalkeeper and the grandson of Endou Daisuke (円堂 大介), one of the strongest goalkeepers in Japan, who died before Mark was born. Even though his skills and enthusiasm are incredible, his school lacks a real soccer club, as the six other members don't appear very interested even in training. One day, when a mysterious forward named Goenji Shuya (豪炎寺 修也) moves to Endou's town, the young goalkeeper sets out to find and recruit members for his soccer team.
