I don’t think “cleanup player” means what Aoyama thinks it does…

Cleanliness Boy! Aoyama-kun is a comedy, which revolves around handsome soccer player Aoyama. Though he’s a skilled player, Aoyama doesn’t tackle, nor does he head the ball – rather. If there’s a throw-in, he’ll only do it while wearing gloves. Aoyama’s a clean player, which can get in the way of his performance on the field. And, as expected, hilarity ensues.
A promotional teaser for the series was unveiled in May. You can check it out below:
