Since futsal first captured global attention a decade ago, Haru Yamato had never taken an interest in the game. Yet witnessing Japanese star Tokinari Tennoji battle it out at the U‑18 World Cup completely shifted his view. On his first day at Koyo Gakuen High, Haru eagerly signed up for the futsal club.
There he encounters a host of skilled teammates, among them captain Toi Tsukioka who shared the U‑18 squad with Tennoji.
