The fucking brutal potential of this being a really good romcom manga. It will not happen though.

How tf these 2 collaborated to make a normal manga like this???

Seems that Nakayama could do normal series... and no joking, it was really good... he could do a really interesting women soccer shonen series. And considering that Japan is already a Women Soccer World Champion... it could fit pretty good.

There is nothing complicated about the "offside" itself: it's being closer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the before-last opponent player. So you're off-side when you don't have the ball and only the goalie is ahead of you, however you're not offside when you ran past the goalie but two defenders are still ahead of you, and you're also not offside if both you and a teammate ran past all opponents but your teammate has the ball and is ahead of you.
 
It only gets complicated when it comes to "offside offence". But if you think it through, all the cases have a good reason:

  • Most offside offences are when someone passes the ball to you while you're offside. If this weren't an offence, strikers would just loiter around near the opponent's goal until they get a ball and it would all be very boring.
  • It is also an offence to disturb the opponent goalie/defenders while on offside. If this weren't an offence, one or two teammates of the striker would just stand in the way of the goalie to keep him from doing his job.
  • It is also an offence to play a ball that rebounds to you after you were offside. If this weren't an offence, strikers would again bore everyone to death by just loitering around near the opponent's goal to get those rebounds.
Although the text of the manga (or just the tranlation?) failed to formulate the offside rule properly, the story made the point about avoiding boring play and forcing strikers to out-run defenders quite well.

we could always introduce the Rugby concept of offside which is a little more complex and refers to the position of either teams players relative to the position of the ball
which can be summarised by the fundamental principle that a player may not derive any advantage from being in front of the ball.
Spoiler
which sport will be up next to have its offside rule explained?

Ah okay. Thanks for clarifying it.  I understood some parts when the manga was explaining it like how it would be boring to just stand near the goal just waiting to shoot  but it go more complicated when they start adding more and more explaination.

I don't think soccer is for me as I still am not too sure what offside is or when and how.

the answer is 42

Nah mate, the mistery of the universe is "What's the question?"

I don't think soccer is for me as I still am not too sure what offside is or when and how.

Now how bout the two pairing up for a horror-mindfuck-comedy-slice of life manga?

huh? the art was normal. i was expecting some nejimaki kagyu girl horror stares in this.

Only Nisio can make a mystery about Offside to be as deep as mystery of life and universe itself.

the answer is 42

if there are no offside rule, the opponent striker will just hang around your goal. and it will be just a long ball contest between each team.

Personally, I feel like the premise was weak even for a one-shot. Nothing about any of the characters hooked me either. To me, it wasn't very interesting so I'm honestly not quite sure what prompted the editors to publish it.

This is part of the oneshots authored by NisiOisin for December on Weekly Shonen Jump. The theme word is "Soccer".
