エリアの騎士 [The Knight in the Area] #20

Volume 20 of The Knight in the Area puts its soccer drama front and center, with a determined young player in an Enoshima kit — number 10 on his back — caught mid-stride over a football, intensity radiating from every line. A close-up portrait of another dark-haired figure dominates the left half of the cover, the split composition creating a charged sense of rivalry or partnership between the two. Created by writer Hiroomi Iga and artist Kaya Tsukiyama, this long-running Kōdansha series continues to deliver the passion and competitive spirit that keeps fans coming back volume after volume.
