エリアの騎士 外伝 ～江ノ高アーリーデイズ～

Teppei Iwaki coaches in the Area no Kishi main story, and this spin-off goes back to the years when he was the one on the field, playing midfield for Enoshima High. His passing and his read of play already set him apart, and the seven chapters trace how a soccer-obsessed boy turned into the midfielder a team gets built around. It fills one volume beside the main series rather than continuing it.
