Kodansha Comics is taking advantage of some soccer fever with the World Cup underway by setting a soccer-themed manga sale digitally. Through ComiXology, they’ve got multiple volumes of several series on sale. That has Days at $5.99 a volume but with the first volume for a buck while Farewell my Cramer brings out its individual chapters for half off at just 99 cents an installment for the monthly series. Giant Killing and Sayonora Football play out like Days does in terms of pricing.
Days: From Tsuyoshi Yasuda, the author of Over Drive and Furimuku Na Kimi Wa, comes the most exciting soccer manga in the world!

Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, there’s something amazing hidden inside Tsukushi’s heart…and through the trials and tribulations of his time in the soccer club, it’s beginning to blossom!
Farewell, My Dear Cramer: Sumire Suou is 15 years old. She has passion for soccer, but can’t seem to grasp victory… After having a gloomy life as a middle school student, will a single moment as a high school student make her heart dance!?

Sayonora Footabll: 14-year-old Nozomi Onda has only one thing on her mind: playing beautiful football.
