WHAT DO YOU HUNGER FOR?

Having reignited his passion for soccer, Hiori delivered Isagi a pinpoint pass that ended in the winning goal against Ubers. Isagi's stunning performance helps him shoot up to second place in the rankings, but he still comes up short against the top-ranked player, Rin Itoshi. As the Neo-Egoist League nears its dramatic final day, each player must look inward and discover what he hungers for...but will mere hunger be enough?
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.
