The May issue of Monthly Shonen Magazine originally announced the new series on April 6, and it described the "youthful story of girls soccer" as follows:

Sumire Suō is 15 years old. She has passion for soccer, but can't seem to grasp victory... After having a gloomy life as a middle school student, will a single moment as a high school student make her heart dance!?

The first chapter of the manga begins with Sumire in middle school. The short-haired girl shows overwhelming power at a soccer game, and makes a great shot from a dribble during a counter, but the match ends when a girl with pigtails named Midori Soshizaki (seen below) blocks her. The two end up going to a regular high school instead of one that prides itself in athletics, and decide to work together as a team.

Arawaka previously drew the two-volume Sayonara Football manga about girls soccer in 2010. The manga featured a female protagonist in middle school.

Arakawa's Your Lie in April manga inspired a 22-episode television anime series that premiered in October 2014, and Aniplex of America is releasing the series on home video. The manga is also inspiring a live-action film that will open on September 10. Kodansha Comics is releasing the original manga in English.
