Shinju no Kusari (真珠の鎖, lit. "Chain of Pearls") is a Japanese shōjo manga series written and illustrated by Kanan Minami. The story revolves around the love triangle between two high school association football players, and their club manager Hisa.
Plot summary[edit]
When Hisa starts as a manager for her school's soccer club, she is reunited with her old friend Keito, who is their school's star player. Keito's good friend and teammate, Sakyou, falls in love with Hisa, and the two start dating. But Hisa did not realise that Keito was in love with her as well. When Keito finds out about Sakyou and Hisa's relationship, he becomes so angry that he loses his senses. He demands that they quit the soccer club. Sakyou does quit, but the team is not the same, and Keito remains aggressive towards everyone.
