Haru no Regista

Story & art by Unknown

Also known as Haru no Regista

Once hailed as a soccer prodigy, high school girl Arai Haru transferred to a school far from her hometown, hoping to start a new life away from soccer. However, a new student, Osanai Satsuki, who admired Haru's past glory, appeared before her and declared her intention to join the Soccer Club, which is on the verge of disbandment. This is a girls' soccer story about a girl who gave up her dream and a girl who chases after it! ___ **What is a regista?** The regista is a creative player who operates in front of the defense, almost always in a central position, and looks to get on the ball as often as possible. They are responsible for providing the link between defense and offense, and controlling the tempo of the game through their passing. The regista is also known as the deep-lying playmaker: they retain their deep position and dictate their team's play with their distribution.
