This is a formal request for Kaneshiro to stop penning in backstories for characters i hate or don't care about, because they are always so good and always make me change my mind about them and i am WEAK!!! I could not care less about Naruhaya until right before his departure, when his short backstory almost made my cry..... (HE'S SO SWEET ARGHHH)

Anyways, I really can't wait for the next matchup. Isagi reuniting with Chigiri and Kunigami for a face-off is good enough, but Reo vs Nagi added to the mix makes me really hyped. Every day (especially today) I get closer to starting a Blue Lock binge.

4.25/5

The fact that my favorites are going to be fighting against each other next… I hate it here.

4.5 ⭐

oh goodness i completely forgot just how well naruhaya is characterized in the franchise, however brief his time may be. he's such an emotionally well-developed character and it really pains me to see him go. i know not every character can get a side story (obviously) but i'd love someone to do a character study of him.

and the art THE ART!!! god i'm so weak for it. and the NON-FEMALE fanservice! (that anatomyyyy *drools*) im a freak and im not ashamed. mostly.

mario ahh color palette...okay honestly i see what the anime was talking about calling barou a gorilla, he genuinely does look like one (but it's a compliment!)...anyways, barou, barou, kyun!!

everyone who hasn't consumed the series: what is this girl on about 💀

The way each volume keeps getting better and better, I'm so glad I decided to continue with this series. Also it pains me so much whenever a new match occurs because I like everyone and I hate seeing them lose and get separated. I know what's coming but still. Also love how dramatic everyone is lol. Same.

damn, for the entire half of this volume, I've been hunting for the flame to appear in Isagi, but it just didn't, it was so frustrating when he looked basic af. When it finally appeared, I couldn't help but say "...finally", and ngl I felt bad for Reo, but ig it will do smth for his character development

AHHHHHHHHHHH THIS VOLUME GAVE ME SO MUCH ANXIETY. my heart was in my throat the whole time.

a few notes:

- nagi & isagi 🔛🔝
- poor baby reo is so hurt by nagi. i just want them to make up already 😭
- rin, the other poor sad baby. he always looks so sad and he's such an assole but i really can't be mad at him about it 💔
- this has officially became my #1 favourite manga. i haven't read many but i've read a good amount to know that this is my top one. i gave all volumes 5 stars so far, so ofc this volume is also 5 stars. i'm not even surprised at this point. i'm a romance reader, so who would have thought i'd love a series that has nothing to do with it and is solely focused on soccer (also a sport i do not watch AT ALL) ???? 😂😂 it's really nice to be taking a break from romance though because it do be pissing me OFF lately.
- plzzz give me more of reo and nagi I NEED IT I'M BEGGING YOU 🧎‍♀️

[Mizuki · Rating 4 out of 5]

(1) Since I don't know a damn thing about football, so now the manga becomes difficult to understand...

(2) Okay....I am glad they are living in the same dorm room with at least one guy who is keen on cleanliness. You can't imagine how important it is. LOL

(3) As I had already stated, I don't know anything about football but so far the latter part of the series offers a lot of team-building among characters to keep me entertained and focused.

Will read the next volume soon!

[fulcrum · Rating 4 out of 5]

these dudes are having a full-on soap opera breakup scene naked in a shared bath. reo is naked in nagi’s mind too for, um, reasons?? football? what football. this is gay psychodrama and the football is just there for vibes i guess.

[Nott · Rating 3 out of 5]

let's have a dramatic moment while we are all naked!!! автор познал жизнь и свою целевую аудиторию

[laura]

the author is SICK for giving us naruhaya's backstory right after e wording him

[Bianca · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume was absolutely incredible. Every volume I read leaves me wanting to read more and more.

[Mr. Cody · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such tension! (One of the best volumes: excellent the second time around)

[jay · Rating 4 out of 5]

nagi lowk might be my favourite character rn

[Afi (WhatAfiReads) · Rating 4 out of 5]

THIS VOLUME IS LIKE THE CUTEST EVER LIKE WHAT THE HECK

Chapters in Volume : Ch 50 - Ch 58

I just love everyone's interactions in here and REO IS SO JEALOUS PLEASE KAH KAH KAH.

This volume is Isagi trying to understand Barou and its interesting because he's already accustomed to Nagi and Barou's training regime as well.

Super interesting and I definitely can't wait for the next volume cause THE MATCHES WILL BE SUPER INTENSE DAMN.

[Jasmine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This whole rivalry battle thing where you steal opponents to advance is just genius. There’s so much drama, the stakes are high, things are being shaken up!!! The conflict!!?!!! Once I start a volume I can’t stop reading until it’s over.

Listen I’m seeing lots of spurned lover bitterness coming from Reo concerning Nagi and Kunigami & Chigiri concerning Isagi. I’m here for the pettiness and the lashing out. Give me the drama!!

Also everyone has an adorable quirk, Barou’s insistence on things going his way all the time is really cute.

I’m not looking forward to the inevitable face down with Itoshi because he seems like the Blue Lock version of Sasuke and I don’t want it.

Volume 8, here I come!

[James DeSantis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Blue Lock continues to be highly entertaining.

Isagi has to prove himself here more than ever. With a 2 vs 2 match it's not a whole team to rely on, giving the pressure all to the main man. He also has to decide to take out a former teammate, leaving us with a intense and a bit more emotional match than I expcted.

Overall the manga shook things up here and broke regular formula but in a smart way.

A 4 out of 5.

que capo Nagi

[Peter Roy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't wait to see the next game!

[⛅ Sunny (sunnysidereviews) ⛅ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Why do they keep sexualizing Anri?? It's so unnecessary. People won't even listen to her. :( Aside from that, this was quite a hard hitting volume. I'm also starting to like Shoei. At first I thought he was annoying, but I've come to admire his self-discipline.

NARUHAYAS BACKSTORY :'((((((

I have no idea who to support rn because i love them all sm!!! can they all win please thanks!

chigiri and kunigami teaming up tho <3

also uh can the committee pls stop with the constant comments at the only female character tho they're kinda not necessary :/

[Munsaka · Rating 4 out of 5]

Why is everyone beefing with Isagi

[★ngeles · Rating 3.5 out of 5]

NAGI

[Vyshakh Aravindan · Rating 3 out of 5]

By this point, Blue Lock has fully embraced its identity as a battle manga disguised as a sports series. The matches are less about scoring goals and more about proving whose philosophy deserves to survive. Volume 7 contains several exciting tactical moments and continues developing Isagi into a more proactive protagonist. The storytelling remains addictive, even if some of the dramatic monologues occasionally stretch believability.

[mar · Rating 5 out of 5]

if you see me removing this from my shelf it’s because i feel like it’s illegal to have a manga here

[zara · Rating 5 out of 5]

NARUHAYA AND HIS BACKSTORY I’M SO SAD :(((

[(straw)mary ♡ · Rating 4 out of 5]

the way i was flying through this volume because i just know that the next match is gonna have me on the edge of my seat!!

[Ady Weasley · Rating 5 out of 5]

La pelea dos contra dos le da una nueva visión de sis debilidades a Isagi , una decisión esperada pero aun así no deja de doler al saber cuál es su motivo.

La siguiente fase es una batalla tres vs tres...y la verdad no sé a quién apoyar, todos ellos me caen muy bien
