Ao Ashi is the story of a 3rd-year middle school student, Ashito Ao from the countryside of Ehime. He dreams of joining a soccer club from a good high school, but his dream can’t come true as he became the reason for his team losing the tournament in an important match.

That’s not all where there is an opportunity, there will always be challenges too.
Ao does not belong to a rich family. Even though he was invited by the big-shot coach, he does not have the gear to participate in. All he has is his worn-out shoes. But, his elder brother helps him out by giving him his savings to buy the gears he needs and for his travel expenses.
