A mad young coach gathers soccer players from across the country to compete in a series of bizarre challenges in a high-tech colosseum he calls Blue Lock. It's a no-balls-barred battle to become Japan's next top striker, in this Squid Game–meets–World Cup manga, now available in print!

Anime airing now!

Bastard München bounced back against Manshine City, with Yukimiya getting an assist from Isagi to clinch the winning goal.

After Isagi collapses from overexertion, Noel Noa brings him up to speed on the new rankings, which show "King" Barou of Italy's Ubers claiming the top spot.

With Bastard München facing Ubers in the next match, this will surely be their toughest battle yet.

Can Isagi put his new "100 percent meta vision" into practice and dethrone the king?
