ブルーロック-EPISODE 凪-(1) by Muneyuki Kaneshiro
4.0

Thank you to Kodansha and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this volume.

Having read and watched Blue Lock I was excited to read this prequel story about Nagi. Nagi is one of your typical stereotypes that frequently crop up in manga - the lazy genius who thinks everything is “面倒くさい” (tiresome)

Part of what makes Blue Lock a fun and compelling story is it goes against all your typical sports stories where teamwork is the only way to win. This is purely about individualism and ego. It’s cut-throat and harsh.

There’s some really dynamic panelling and action. It’s hard to translate a sport to an inked page but it’s carried out flawlessly here.

All in all, a fun read like always.
