Blue Lock is a deconstruction of the usual sports manga (and every other one I've read for that instance). And by this, the goal for the MC is to become a literal Egoist instead of a faggot that cries about friendship and friends and the such. Of course, you still have some moments where teammates are required because football(soccer) is a team sport, but the main goal is to become the best striker in the world, and be capable of winning a match by yourself. I'm not actually a fan of soccer but I find this premise very interesting to say the least.

>MC is to become a literal Egoist
t-TSUUUUUUUUUU-sama manga????
Yeah, I'm really enjoying Blue Lock. The art is incredible as well.
Is it worth reading?
I wanted to give it a shot but don't want to waste my time if it isn't worth it
Yeah, it's pretty different that the usual sports series, but in an exciting way. The art is amazing too and lends a lot of impact to every panel.
Yes I just finished reading the first chapter and I'm hooked
It gets better after the MC gets his ability. A new translation team picked it up and is releasing chapters faster as well, so that's good
I'm surprised at how good this is considering who the writer is and how basically all of his other works had gone to shit sooner
That's nice. I checked it out months ago and the English scans were like 50+ chapters behind.
What's up with this one samefag making threads for this generic soccer manga all week?
There's a bunch of generic series that always have threads being made so why can't blue lock have one?
more people shilling it the more likely people continue to translate
I guess that's true but the OP for these is always written in the same tone and always uses the exact same cover image, nothing else. In the past few days I must've seen at least 5 threads like this, I've yet to see a single panel posted here and they all die within 20 posts too. OP should learn to just give it up at some point, Yas Forums can't like everything.
>a faggot that cries about friendship and friends and the such
>he doesn't realize that's the beauty of sports manga
You tell him!
Agreed that the picture should be changed up at times. Maybe if one of the cuties in the series was posted instead it'd get more traction.
You said cuties and then posted an ugly. MC is cuter. Got any more?
>MC is cuter
He looks like your typical anime protag. Sorry to hear about your shit taste
fuck cute acquire handsome
>protagonist wants to be the grand numero uno sportsman
So original
>posting this on a board where shinsha is hated
I-ICHIGO?!
I like this one. How is this series doing with nips?
This dude better not be a complete jobber.
O MY RUBBER ACL
>O MY 40 METERS
Do you know who I hate the most? The Buddhist guy, he is so trash, its his fault some better character got kicked out from blue lock. I felt this complete turn around about the fake other groups was forced by the editors cause the creator was taking too long or they would never finish this manga at the current rate so it feels like a cop-out. Especially with the talks of having no money left.
>I felt this complete turn around about the fake other groups
You mean the ranking that was faked just to make everyone think they were in the worst stratum? I feel that was necessary with how good team v was because the power creep would have gotten prince of tennis tier if the ranking was real
Is it doing poorly? I hope not, it seems like it could continue on for a while.
> it feels like a cop-out
I don't know, it makes some sense. There were characters who seemed way too fucking good at football to be in the bottom 25% of players.
blue lock? I believe it runs in WSM?
i've seen it in sales threads a few times I think it's something like 30-40k per volume? pretty good.
won't get axed anytime soon, that's for sure. on the contrary it might even get an anime.
unironically yes
Ok, those explanations do make sense if we think they were all players from a very low tier. Let alone groups from the A level should be able to job them pretty easy, even the team that would lose.
this, that blond fag from first chapter was already in Japan's U20
