That's right! The latest volume of the manga, volume 19, was released in May 2023! This character, who adorns the cover and is active in the latest episodes, is attracting attention not only in Japan but also from around the world...... his name is Michael Kaiser!

What kind of character is Michael Kaiser?

He is a forward for Germany's strongest club soccer team, “Bastard München”, and serves as the team's leader. He is listed as one of the new generation's top 11 players.
The New Generation Top 11 (New Generation World Best Eleven) refers to the 11 young players selected by PIFA for their outstanding performance in the world. Currently, only 3 out of the 11 are known, and Michael Kaiser is one of those three.
Despite his calm appearance, he is well aware of his certain skills and the confidence he has in them. His overflowing confidence and overwhelming strength give him a high level of charisma, and he also shows a tendency to look down on those he considers beneath him. He has a strong desire to show off himself, even if his allies get a chance ball, he goes out of his way to steal it.

I'll keep the details of the test a secret, but the protagonist, Isagi Yoichi, belongs to the same team as this Michael Kaiser. Among them, Yoichi observes Kaiser and feels keenly that 'he can do all the moves I want to do'! In other words, it is clearly stated that for Yoichi, Kaiser is a perfect superior version of himself and an existence he should aim for!

On the other hand, Kaiser likes Yoichi's attitude of taking on challenges without intimidation, even though he is considered inferior. He gives various advices and provokes him with aggressive challenges.
'The professional is the one who can tame the demon called “jealousy” that everyone harbors.'

As you can see from this quote, Michael Kaiser is depicted as the embodiment of professional consciousness and overwhelming power, and he is the one who Yoichi, the protagonist, aims to be! He might appear a little in the sequel in 2024, or even in the movie...... so please be sure to check it out!
