Uwasa no Midori-kun!! (うわさの翠くん!!, lit. "The Rumored Midori-kun!!") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Gō Ikeyamada. It premiered in Shōjo Comic from December 2006 to October 2008. The individual chapters were collected and published in 10 tankōbon volumes by Shogakukan. Two of its chapters are used in Gō Ikeyamada's Shōnen x Cinderella. The manga is licensed in Taiwan by Tong Li Publishing, in Indonesia by Tiga Lancar Semesta, and in France by Kurokawa.
Yamate Midori is a 15-year-old girl who is described as a tomboy. One day, Midori meets a boy called Hino Tsukasa, who came to the island she lives on for vacation. He teaches her to play soccer, and she falls in love with the sport. Inspired by Tsukasa, Midori continues to play soccer, hoping to meet him again someday. When they do meet again, Tsukasa seduces Midori on their first date. To convince her to give up her virginity, which she'd been saving for her future husband, Tsukasa tells Midori they will get married in the future.
The next day, Midori finds Tsukasa demanding payment from his teammates for having won a bet. Midori laughs about how easy it is to get a 'country girl' to become intimate with him, and speculates that he will continue to do so a few more times before leaving her. When he discovers that she heard all of this, he tells her that she is at fault for being too trusting and that she should be proud to have had such an encounter with a future soccer star like himself.
Determined to defeat Tsukasa in soccer and bring him down for betraying her trust, Midori disguises herself as a boy, enrolls at the rival All-Boys High School, and joins their soccer team. Despite this, a boy in her dorm finds out about her actual gender almost immediately.
