4.25/5

I swear the author needs to be BANNED from creating more beautiful men. First Aiku, and now KAISER?!? Man needs to be locked up for being so fine.

فاز دوم بلو لاک شروع خیلی خوبی داشته. این مانگا واقعا کارش توی هایپ کردن و معرفی شخصیت جدید و خفن خوبه.
تنها باگ داستان اینه که چرا اعضای تیم جوانان مهم‌ترین باشگاه‌های پنج کشور باید از صد روز قبل مسابقات جام جهانی فقط توی بلو لاک بمونن؟ خودشون تیم ملی ندارن؟ نباید هماهنگ بشن؟

why do i feel like this is only the beginning......😳

KUNIGAMI??????? wtf happened to him in that wildcard thing 😭

the plot just keeps getting more interesting and the addition of new characters is 🤯 like kaiser!?!? 👀 and getting to see noel noa, AHHH i love it.

my prayers were answered and we got to see more aiku. i fear he's becoming one of my favs already.

i feel like i should do some rating since now i've read 18 volumes so far:

my character rankings

this is going to be pretty hard but i think i have my top 6 pretty solidified
1. rin (are we surprised??)
2. isagi
3. nagi
4. reo
5. bachira
6. aiku

honestly, reo and nagi are pretty close and could be interchangeable. 🤭

we do not tolerate ness slander in this house. and we do not support kiis. just saying. 🪄✨

i thought kaiser would annoy me more, but he’s actually funny and kind of charming in his crazy behaviour. let’s see what happens next with kunigami, was it really worth it? i’m not sure knshr even knows what to do with him at this point. maybe it’s just me. anyway, i really want to know what chigiri thinks about his comeback.

(1) I must admit I kind of sense there is Boy's Love vibe in this volume...

(2)

"I came here to meet you."

Gay. ^_^

(3) I firmly do not believe Boy's Love is something that you can just simply lock a punch of young good-looking dudes in the same building and then call it a day. BL needs development too you know. so let's see if the author will give us some development this time! 😂😂😂😂

[Mar · Rating 5 out of 5]

i am SO hooked right now.
not really a spoiler i guess, but: i need to know what happened to kunigami like now! i've been waiting for so looooong.
also i love bachira more every day.

[elif sinem · Rating 3 out of 5]

Obsessed with Kaiser but I think the Japanese need to stop acting like 1) Germany is an Aryan country full of Aryan Germans 2) that the country is doing anything efficient or based on rational thinking or runs shit like the sci-fi navy. Also, my man Kunigami became JAW. Boooo!!!

[Hannah Farquhar]

I love these freaks!!!

[Jay · Rating 3 out of 5]

Molto carino l'episodio filler della vacanza. Nagi si conferma il mio gemello perduto, il principe dei nerd! Bellissima l'idea della fase due, con la scelta dei team (adoro il fatto che Isagi abbia joinato il team tedesco), le nuove regole delle partite e l'attaccante maestro. Se devo proprio dirlo, già non mi piace l'evoluzione di Rensuke, spero davvero di ricredermi e non vedo l'ora di vedere le partite! Ego è un genio.

[tammy]

yoichi joining the German team is a win. the on page times new roman German was done just for me. AUF DIE KNIE djlaksjfdsjf then the new guy's last name being named Kaiser. dude. 😭 I also googled "bastard münchen" only for it to be made up

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this was my favorite volume so far. The mix of filler and plot was 10000000/10. I also loved the scene with Isagi’s parents, it was so wholesome. Gagamaru randomly in the mountains made me cackle at 4 am while I was reading this 😂

Something else happened that I am LOSING my mind over!!!!! I need to know what happened to [redacted]!!!!!

[Jasmine · Rating 5 out of 5]

All the BL fanfics of Isagi and Kaiser are starting to make sense now. Oh my!

I need to know what they did to Kunigami. I need to know if those spoilers I saw on Twitter are real or not.

Once again, Bachira is a whole King. His brain is in the right place!

It was nice to see the boys goofing off and having fun after their much deserved victory. I’m curious to see what breakthroughs Isagi and the gang experience next.

Une révolution dans Blue Lock avec la réapparition de Kunigami et l'arrivée de Noel Noa et les stars mondiales ainsi que les U20 mondiaux, une nouvelle hype arrive et de nouveaux défis attendent les protagonistes!!

[BookManiac · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.25/5.

A solid interim volume that allows the Blue Lock boys some downtime after their U-20 match, shows the aftereffects, and then sets up their next challenge... Very excited to see this plot develop.

i need more of those domestic chapters now.

[Alex · Rating 5 out of 5]

omg a new arc that looks amazing and interesting, the teams looks so interesting i need to see what is going to happen

[Jess Shumaker · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the filler and action combo in this one. The characters are all deranged and i'm really here for it all. I enjoyed their bro time, and I loved the scene with the parents

[Holland]

Grateful for all the random mfs who post the chapters on TikTok, I’ve just been binge reading it on there 😭

[Kelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Michael Kaiser 😍 My fave kind of walking, talking red flag~

[Katie❄️ · Rating 4 out of 5]

The new training direction is interesting.
