Muraeda Kenichi

J-league, struggling to help his team to victory against the world's
best.
This issue:Aiko and Kazuya's mother belatedly arrive in search of
Kazuya's World Cup game. On the way, they wind up in the same taxi as
an Iranian grandfather and boy heading to the same game; clearly, like
Aiko, they are friends and family of (in this case) the rival Iranian
players. The little boy, an obvious fan of the Iranian side, gets
into fights with Aiko, who ardently wants the Japanese to win. They
arrive at a stadium, but discover it is the wrong one. Aiko, as much
as she is in a rush, takes the time to find the Iranian family and get
them back to the taxi. They arrive at the right game in time to see
Japan losing, but Aiko remembers the elderly Iranian man had told her
of the power of faith. |
