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.

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

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 🧎♀️

(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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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

Oh my!! The next volume is gonna be FIRE!!! Loved the bath scene toward the end of this volume… too funny. 😂 I’m looking forward to the 3-on-3 battle in the next installment!

Isagi and Nagi fight to stay alive in Blue Lock against the egomaniacal Barou and Naruhaya, one of Isagi’s former teammates. Can Isagi overcome his shortcomings to be the star that he wants to be? And could the theory behind Blue Lock get any worse?
Come for sports action as boys step all over one another to be the best, stay for questionable life lessons and hologram goaltenders. I pretty much read this series to see what sort of bonkers nonsense is going to happen next and it rarely disappoints.
I mean, you wouldn’t read it for the horrible ideas it seems keen to impart. I cannot imagine this book wants to position Ego as the hero, but it seems to be game to try, just by dint of making the other people around him that much worse. The lone female is just a source of breast jokes, to indicate the chauvinism, to be fair, but you can imagine how into that I am (spoiler: not much).
Barou ends up being a monstrous egomaniac that has skills, but is also incredibly annoying to put up with, so naturally we have him hanging around for the entire volume. One thing I did like is that the book doesn’t sugar coat it when somebody does get bounced from the program - these kids had their reasons and dreams and they are being destroyed if they can’t perform.
Of course, this reminds me more of Battle Royale in that instance and there’s no safety net or compensation and they’re banned from football. So it seems not unreasonable to also designate this a horror manga.
Isagi is, fair to say, more of a lead than a protagonist at this point. It’s beyond the pale to think that this book wants to label him a hero, as his major action in this volume is basically allowing himself to be destroyed so he can rebuild himself into the kind of player who wins games. Who needs that pesky sense of self, right?
I’m fascinated that this series appears to have the (a)moral compass of, essentially, Death Note, while still being about a lousy game of football. Of course, with the powers and abilities flying about, this is rapidly turning into My FIFA Academia more than a sensible portrayal of a sport (even for manga).
I can see why somebody would like this, but for me this is the definition of car crash entertainment, it’s just that one of the cars is full of fireworks and the other is shooting fish into the air. It’s a goofy mess, but one that certainly holds the attention.
3 stars - you’ll never see that rating go higher while this is such a catastrophe of a story. Again, I think this story actually thinks it might have a valid point, terrifyingly, but if it finally decides to be a little more introspective about what it’s inflicting on some poor kids I might think more of it.
