Blue Lock 33



A mad young coach gathers soccer players from across the country to compete in a series of bizarre challenges in a high-tech colosseum he calls Blue Lock. It's a no-balls-barred battle to become Japan's next top striker, in this Squid Game–meets–World Cup manga, now available in print!

CAN YOU WIN IT ALL?

Isagi and Kaiser teamed up to snag the last goal, pushing the entire Bastard Munchen squad into overdrive. Not to be outdone, PXG responded with no less fierce offensive and defensive teamwork. In the midst of this heated battle, Ness feels himself being left behind by Kaiser and frantically searches for a way forward. As the players race toward an unreadable climax, who will be the champion of the Neo-Egoist League?!
