Eye Shield 21 #5

Three intense young players huddle around a football on this French-edition cover, their expressions locked in fierce concentration — the blonde center figure gripping the ball with quiet determination while his two flanking teammates look on with equal intensity. The bold "Powerful" tag along the spine sets the tone perfectly for this fifth volume of Riichiro Inagaki and Yusuke Murata's American football manga. A great entry point into the series' escalating team dynamics, brought to French readers by Glénat in 2005.
