Football Alchemist

In football, an agent handles contracts and transfers on behalf of pro players. For their ability to move astronomical amounts of money, these agents are known as alchemists. This one has a notorious name: Senzaki Kyousuke. With him is Natsume Risa, a college student tracing her missing brother’s footsteps. The lives of pro players and their complex world of money and power are realistically rendered by a sports writer and a football manga artist. (Edited Japan Media Arts Festival)
