Once hailed as a soccer prodigy, high school girl Haru Arai has transferred to a school far from her hometown with a clear goal: to start a new life away from soccer. Having walked away from the sport that defined her, she hopes to leave her past identity behind. However, her plans for a quiet, soccer-free existence are upended by the arrival of a new student named Satsuki Osanai. Unlike Haru, Satsuki is an ardent admirer of Haru’s past glory and is determined to chase the dreams that Haru has abandoned. She boldly declares her intention to join the school’s soccer club, a team that is currently on the verge of being disbanded. The series thus centers on the contrasting paths of these two girls: one who gave up on her dream and one who is relentlessly pursuing hers.

The manga is set in a Japanese high school environment, where a struggling soccer club serves as the primary backdrop. The club’s precarious state—facing dissolution—adds an immediate sense of urgency and conflict. Haru is portrayed as a reluctant genius, a girl whose natural talent once earned her great acclaim but also likely led to pressure or burnout, prompting her escape. Satsuki, in contrast, embodies earnest, unfiltered ambition, unafraid to confront the past that Haru is trying to avoid. The term "regista" in the title is a soccer reference to a deep-lying playmaker, a creative player who controls the tempo of the game from a position in front of the defense, which likely alludes to Haru's natural playing style and her potential role in orchestrating the team’s revival.

As an ongoing serialization that began in July 2024, the narrative is still in its early stages, focusing on the core emotional conflict between the two protagonists. The initial arc establishes Haru’s transfer and her attempt to build a new identity, which is immediately challenged by Satsuki’s arrival. The story then follows the formation and initial struggle of the soccer club as Satsuki works to bring Haru back into the sport, exploring themes of rediscovering lost passion, the weight of past expectations, and the different forms that love for a sport can take.
