Blue Lock Vol. 1

Product Information

What intrigues me is that in this story, the adults just downright tell the kids to abandon any illusion of teamwork and friendship---those usual traits we can find in a typical boy's manga, instead the coach tells the kids there can only be one winner (because all the top athletes only have victory in their minds so there is no room for friendship and stuff, and in a sense, all top athletes are, selfish) and it is foolish to spend time on teamwork and looking after their peers. Was this enough to change my opinion on sports manga? Not really. Was it a solid enough read that I would suggest it for fans of such manga? Absolutely, especially if they like the survival game style of manga its colliding with. It's strengths are well done from an objective standpoint and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least entertained for my read (some times extremely so). While I can't say I'm a huge fan, it was a fun read. I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually genuinely intrigued where a sport's manga is going. If it stays this over the top, I think I may continue along with it. 3/5 star Ngl, I actually wanted to read the physical copy of this manga, but, the english translation is hella expensive, so we, gotta make do with what we have :') (My resources are a blessing)

When I saw Kodansha had a new sports manga coming out, I jumped on the opportunity to read and review it early! Lanzamientos Planeta Cómic marzo 2022". ramenparados.com (in Spanish). March 12, 2022.

After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan's team struggles to regroup. But what's missing? An absolute Ace Striker, who can guide them to the win. The Japan Football Union is hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match...and to do so, they've gathered 300 of Japan's best and brightest youth players. Who will emerge to lead the team...and will they be able to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in their way? I'm not a sports fan. That's immediately going to set me at a disadvantage here, as is the fact that I think sports manga in particular are hilarious (not in a positive way) as they are treated in such life or death terms and with a passion higher than any sane person would hold for any topic (YOU MUST TRAIN AT OUR FACILITY AND YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RETURN HOME.

I bought a secondhand copy of this volume at a low price, I think this first volume is a good series opener, we get to know the MC and his 'team', we see some of the tasks and games the teens must go through, we see a bit of the coach, his unusual mindset and see a bit of what the guy is up to.

An anime film adaptation based on the Episode Nagi manga is set to premiere in April 2024. A second season has been announced. The introduction was good, and like every first volume, we have to read the second to really know what's going on, but for a start, it caught my attention. Super intense, and I liked that.... It's not cliche :') The competition is bloody intense, and honestly, I'm not surprised because in the real football world, its also as intense ; just that the training centres here exaggerated in a sense.
