The story of Superboys are coming
Shingo surrounded by his opponents - The superboys arrive
The story tells of Shingo Tamai, a 6th year orphan from Shinsei Senior High Scool located on the outskirts of Tokyo. Shingo is raised by his adoptive parents, as their only child, but despite all his character, he is very restless, short-tempered, arrogant and undisciplined. This temperament of his will clash with physical education professor Tempei Matsuki, the former goalkeeper of the Japanese national football team, who also participated in the Olympic Games in Mexico by winning a bronze medal.
Tempei wants to form a very strong football team of the institute, so that it can play high-level tournaments and give prestige to the school. Despite having a talent for Shingo football, he does not welcome this initiative, as he would like to be the only leader of a team, so he decides together with Oohira to create his own and challenge Matsuki's.
Taking advantage of the absence of their coach, opposed to this challenge, Matsuki's team accepts the match against Shingo's. In this match Shingo shows all his talent and alone brings the opposing team to their knees, winning by 21 to 0.
On his return Matsuki proposes a rematch to Shingo, but this time the outcome of the match will be different, as the team put on the field well and with a solid defense, will be able to harness Shingo's game and close the game with a draw. In the second challenge Shingo will lose the match and thus will understand that the strength of a team does not depend on the individual player, but on the collective game and will clarify his contrasts with Matsuki becoming the captain of the institute team. The expert coach understands that Shingo's grit and talent will be a great asset to the institute's team, as long as you can channel yourself in the right direction.
The first challenges with the other teams arrive and so Yam Misugi, leader of the champion team, and very skilled in dribbling challenges Shingo's team, to test his skills. Shingo for this challenge will also be able to count on the help of the giant Oyra, who joined his team, but Matsuki decides to deploy both of them in defense. Shingo is not there and opposing his coach decides to solve the game alone, so he makes the mistake of not playing for the team, which loses against the very strong opponents for 6 to 1.
Over the course of the episodes Shingo will gladly accept the valuable advice of his coach and little by little he will also improve his game, thus becoming a promising champion, to participate with his team in the national soccer tournament.
