The mangaka Hiroaki Igano and Kaya Tsukiyama are teaming up once again to bring us the school football playoffs with "iCONTACT." The announcement was made on Wednesday in the 35th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shounen Magazine, which includes a two-page black-and-white spread featuring a look at the main characters. iCONTACT will be available in issue No. 39 of the magazine starting August 25.
Following Tsukiyama's success with "Area no Kishi," the author brings us back to the football field with a story about Shishi Sakurazaka, a third-year high school football player. Although Sakurazaka possesses speed that even overshadows track and field athletes, he lacks the talent for scoring goals, which is why he's always been on the bench. One day, while playing an online football game, he meets a brilliant player—a strategist and an excellent kicker—who pulls him out of his comfort zone and turns him into a true partner on the field.
