Whistle!

Has anyone read this manga? It's a fairly new one from Shonen Jump; there are two volumes out so far. I can't wait to read it because I love soccer and the art looks really cool. ^^

I read a little article about it. The reviewer seemed pretty jazzed about it. I'll have to check it out!
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Wow!!! Whistle is here in the U.S! I used to read it back home and had read up to Vol 12-13 then.

It's a pretty good title, in the sense that it's pretty void of anything obscene. There might be some cussing when tempers flare but apart from that, I like the characters in general and don't mind reading about soccer since it's a huge sport in my home country.

I happen to like this mangaka's style of drawing so I collected this manga even though I don't know much about soccer :lol:. <--- what a sucker for nice art XD
