Series Overview
Hana Suzuki loves only two things in life: eating and sleeping. So, when her handsome classmate Izumi Oda talks her into joining the school hockey club, how is she going to survive getting up early, working hard, and playing well with others? True, the Grand Hockey Club is full of boys - super-cute boys at that - so maybe it won't be so bad after all…Characters

She is very conscious of her chest and hits anyone (mostly Izumi) who makes fun of it. She becomes goalie of the team due to the unnatural things she can do in her sleep, like blocking everything from going into the net. She can easily be lured by food to go to morning practice at the school.

"Morinaga flexes her artistic skill in volume one placing scenes in various settings. Both pacing and storytelling are fluid. It's remarkable how everything comes together in this volume - even the absurd." — Kai-Ming Cha, ''References
