WERE YOU BORN TO PLAY SOCCER?

After seemingly rejecting Snuffy's strategy and going rogue, "King" Barou tied up the game with a crazy double nutmeg. Isagi seethes at being outplayed yet again, but with Yo Hiori's entry into the match, he now has a new piece to help him turn the tide. As a furious battle unfolds on the pitch, Hiori grapples with his complicated feelings toward soccer and his place in Blue Lock. A part of him may be ready to call it quits, but another hungers for something more...
Muneyuki Kaneshiro broke out as creator of 2011's As the Gods Will, a death game story that spawned two sequels and a film adaptation directed by the legendary Takashi Miike. His latest work is the stylish and twisted soccer battle manga Blue Lock.

Manga artist Yusuke Nomura debuted in 2014 with the grotesquely cute cult hit alien invasion story Dolly Kill Kill, which was released digitally in English by Kodansha. His latest work is the soccer battle manga Blue Lock.
