<Introduction
I'll take you to the world.

A junior high school student living in Ehime, Aoi Ashito is the ace of a weak soccer team.
On the day they lost their last junior high school tournament, Asito was running on the beach to vent his frustration when he met a man who was watching the game.

That man - Tatsuya Fukuda - was the manager of the youth team of Tokyo City Esperion FC, one of the leading clubs in the J-League, which trains high school students.

Fukuda sees unlimited potential in Asito, a youngster with a special talent, and begins to talk about his own ambitions.

I have an ambition. I want to take over the world with the club I have built. It is not a stepping stone to the world. My club is the world. The one thing that will carry all of my ambitions is the youth development program."

Accepting Fukuda's invitation, Ashito decides to go to Tokyo to take the "selection" test to join the club, but...

Aoashi", which has always been at the forefront of soccer manga, has finally been made into a long-awaited animated TV series!

Failure, growth, and friendship - everything about adolescence is here!
