The Story
The manga that became a worldwide sports action
phenomenon returns in a new 3-in-1 omnibus edition featuring sculpted embossed
covers!
Includes Vol. 1–3.
A mad young coach gathers soccer players from across the country to compete in
a series of bizarre challenges in a high-tech colosseum he calls Blue Lock.
It's a no-balls-barred battle to become Japan's next top striker, in this Squid
Game–meets–soccer manga, now a global hit anime with two explosive seasons!
After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan’s team struggles to
regroup. But what’s missing? An absolute ace striker. The Football Union is
hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory,
so Blue Lock—a rigorous training ground for 300 of Japan’s best and brightest
youth players—is created. To survive this battle royale, the last striker
standing will have to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in his way!
