ブルーロック [Blue Lock] #17

Volume 17 of Blue Lock puts its protagonist front and center on a striking crimson background, his intense teal eyes locked forward with quiet, steely resolve — a Japan football uniform visible at his collar, heavy golden chains coiling around him like a challenge waiting to be broken. The imagery perfectly captures the series' blend of fierce competitive pressure and individual ambition that has made Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura's soccer manga a standout title for Kōdansha's Shōnen Magazine Comics line. If you've been following the Blue Lock program's brutal quest to forge the world's greatest striker, this volume promises more of the sharp tension and raw drive that defines the series.
