Blue lock. 1 / story by Muneyuki Kaneshiro ; art by Yusuke Nomura ; translation: Nate Derr.
"After a disastrous defeat at the 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!" -- Page [4] of cover.
