Whistle! is a Shonen Jump soccer manga by Daisuke Higuchi, about a soccer-mad Determinator, Sho Kazamatsuri, who, due to his short height, was left on the sidelines by his old school's soccer team, Musashi no Mori school. Unable to play the soccer he loves so much, Sho tranfers to Sakura Josui Junior High School, and from there, begins to hone his skills and realize his dream of becoming a professional soccer player.Along the way, he meets many friends and rivals, among them, teammates soccer genius Tatsuya Mizuno, Kansai boy Shigeki Sato, science geek Daichi Fuwa, and the Musashi no Mori players themselves, as they struggle together to improve their soccer skills, overcome their weaknesses, and find unity in their teamwork to be the best they can.Well-written and well-drawn, Whistle! was written as a tribute to the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France and the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea/Japan. The manga was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1998 to 2002, and it was adapted into a 39-episode anime series that ran from 2002 to 2003.It was followed by a manga sequel known as Whistle! W, which ran in Ura Sunday from 2016 to 2021. | |

| Whistle! (Manga) / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: Shigeki's father initially didn't want him, due to Shigeki being the son of him and his mistress. His mother was going to be properly married, though this doesn't necessarily mean 'abandonment' on his mother's part. Either way, it's depressing. | |

Character Development: Shigeki starts off as a slightly out-of-control and undisciplined Cheerful Child delinquent who liked fighting and generally doing whatever he wanted. He disliked having to deal with responsibility, and ran away from things that hurt him emotionally instead of facing them. He matures a lot during the second half of the series, and stops running away from things when they get too hard. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: Not very often, but Sakura Josui does solidly kick the ass of one of the teams that looked down on them, to their dismay and shock. This was after a bit of a Shut Up, Hannibal! speech from Sho. To rub salt to the wound, the female students from said school all end up fangirling over Tatsuya. | |

Seiji from Musashi no Mori is quite similar. Also, Shoei Takayama from Kyushu Select, who is a very naturally talented athlete but he too fools around very often. | |

Tsubasa is often mistaken for a cute girl. | |

Chick Magnet | |
| Whistle! (Manga) / int_9858c391 | comment |
Chick Magnet: Tatsuya finds fangirls everywhere although he doesn't pay much attention, even though he is aware of them. Shigeki has his share of fans and even beat Tatsuya in the amount of Valentine's Day chocolate he received. Many female classmates also think Sho is cute (although that's slightly more little-brother-esque) and cool. Seiji (from Musashi no Mori) also has his share of admirers. Girls from Tsubasa (from Hiiba)'s class wanted to form a fanclub for him on his first day at school. | |

Ascended Extra: Yuki is this in the anime, to a certain extent. Though she never elevates to main character status, she is given a tiny bit more focus and becomes a sort of Implied Love Interest for Sho. | |

Underdogs Never Lose | |
| Whistle! (Manga) / int_ab031997 | comment |
Underdogs Never Lose: Averted with Sakura Josui, who lose against Musashi no Mori the first time, and are unable to win enough games in the next tournament to meet them in the finals. Also subverted with Tokyo Select who were the underdogs in almost every Toresen Tournament match, but when it came to them meeting Kansai Select in the finals, it was never made abundantly clear who won the match. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Tatsuya and Shigeki, aren’t bad, BAD boys, but they’re bad and badass enough to get the most Valentine’s Day chocolates out-universe, and Tatsuya somehow managed to receive an entire fan base group in AND OUTSIDE OF his school. That’s saying something. | |

Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Tatsuya is portrayed as cool and composed on the outside, but often is more emotional on the inside. As the series progresses, he loosens up a bit and is able to express his emotions more (and is encouraged to do so). | |
