Captain Tsubasa #6

The cover of this sixth volume from Glénat's French edition of Yoichi Takahashi's beloved soccer manga crackles with kinetic energy, showing three young players locked in a fierce mid-air battle for the ball — one imposing figure in blue bracing against two determined opponents in white and pink. Takahashi's clean, expressive linework captures the pure joy and intensity of youth football that has made Captain Tsubasa a touchstone of sports manga. A great entry point into the series for French-language readers picking it up in 2011.
