Description

La Ion is happiest when he's on the soccer field with friends. So when he transfers to a new school, he's excited to see if it has a soccer club.

But the kids he meets aren't kicking a ball around—they're controlling soccer robots! Soon La Ion is stuck in the middle of a rivalry between the robot-soccer club and its battle-robot rivals. And as the pressure to choose a side builds, he’ll also discover his own hidden talents . . .

Soccer Robots vs. Battle Robots kicks off the Robot Makers manhwa series with an introduction to robotics history, including key concepts, famous figures, power sources, and more.
