Aoashi is based on the manga by Yugo Kobayashi. Titan Manga describes the synopsis as such:
To the world stage! Glory and ambition lie ahead of young Ashito Aoi as he takes the first steps to becoming a pro soccer player. But after being catapulted into a new harsh environment, can he hold onto his spider’s thread and climb his way to the top?
A fateful encounter on Futami Beach in Ehime, Japan leads to the meeting between Fukuda Tatsuya; once a rising star and a player on the cusp of greatness whose career ended all too soon, and Aoi Ashito; a brash and hot-headed striker who loves soccer despite his selfish tendencies.
After being selected to try out for the Tokyo City Esperion Youth club, Ashito Aoi stakes his future on the chance to create a better life for his single mother and older brother, all while realizing his own shortcomings and dealing with the highly competitive world of J-Youth Soccer.
The manga began serialization in Shogakukan’s Weekly Big Comic Spirits in January 2015 and released its 40th and final volume in 2025. The first season of the anime, which was directed by Akira Sato (Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc, Release the Spyce) at Production I.G, originally aired in 2022.
