Women's soccer's status in Japan has increasingly deteriorated over the years. Despite this very grim picture, several schools with teams are still attempting to keep the sport alive. With it, rays of optimism are beginning to emerge. Nozomi Onda's skills are nothing short of extraordinary, having played for the guys' soccer club while she was in middle school. As a result, she believes that playing soccer with other females will only bring her down. She is only driven to play her best when she is up against good opponents. Meanwhile, Sumire Suou is a bright rookie with remarkable talent—talent that is hampered by a squad that is incapable of matching her strengths.
