The Knight in the Area tells the stories of middle and high school students as they grow up through their soccer clubs, compete in national tournaments, and strive for world titles. Main character Kakeru, his respected elder brother Suguru, and childhood friend Nana Mishima, along with all the teammates, rivals from other schools, and world class soccer players around him radiate their own brilliant light as they face adolescence with all their strength. The story also incorporates the strong bond between Kakeru and Suguru, the love of their family, the friendship of their teammates and rivals, and fleeting first loves... all coming together to ignite passion in the hearts of all viewers.


Didn't see a thread for this, so here is one.

Currently on episode 12, first few episodes are okay but once you get to episode 9 its pretty good..

i will probably take a look into this one
after i manage to watch inuyasha once and for all

how would u rate it so far?

needs more sugru

Needs more Nanashima and Mai

Needs more romance tbh series is a 7/10

Episode 36 is out, just explains pointless stuff about total football

needs moar suguru

I enjoyed Kakeru ninja'ing everything. Although his saves were predictable.

Eh, last episode is out...
What a random way to finish the series for now....
I really hope they pick it up, since the actual manga is like 32 volumes in...





They should, by the end of episode 37, it definitely looks like a season 2 is coming.
