I thoroughly enjoyed the Blue Lock anime, so when I stumbled upon the 1st volume of the manga on Netgalley, I knew I had to dive right in. The art style of the characters in this manga is truly captivating. I appreciate how the manga artists skillfully depict emotions through the panels. The introduction of Jinpanchi Ego was a standout moment for me. Right from the beginning of Blue Lock, his quirky personality had me chuckling and saying 'then piss off'. The dynamic action sequences within the panels are executed with precision. Bachira exudes confidence and a hint of cockiness from the get-go. The incorporation of various food levels to represent different abilities is a brilliant concept that ignites envy among rivals, adding an extra layer of intensity to the storyline. This unique approach truly sets Blue Lock apart from other sports manga series, making it a compelling read for fans of the genre.
