Yow.... that was HELLA INTENSE .
Personal Ratings : 4.25🌟
Ngl, I actually wanted to read the physical copy of this manga, but, the english translation is hella expensive, so we, gotta make do with what we have :') (My resources are a blessing)
Anyways, going into the manga, I don't know what to expect, and honestly, at first, I felt like it was like... every other sports manga? I think its because I've grown up with literal legends in sports mangas and animes that makes me quite skeptical to start a new one.
But.... I have to say... I don't regret a single thing starting this on a whim, and I thank my mood-reader-behaviour picking this up suddenly, but ending up being a fav.
They say books will find you at the right time, and honestly, I picked Blue Lock at a day in my life that was so hard and bad, and yet the ADRENALINE RUSH that I felt after reading this is insane. If Haikyuu had saved my life once, Blue Lock gave me strength to continue another day.
The introduction was good, and like every first volume, we have to read the second to really know what's going on, but for a start, it caught my attention. Super intense, and I liked that.... It's not cliche :') The competition is bloody intense, and honestly, I'm not surprised because in the real football world, its also as intense ; just that the training centres here exaggerated in a sense.
But lowkey.... I look forward to continue this manga because for me? It screams potential. The art is bloody amazing and again, it was so packed with no fillers that injected the boost that I need, and I love that I have a thing to look forward tomorrow to wake up too <3
