Bluelock

Don't listen to op, if you want a good football manga go read Be Blues

If it's two years old and only just now BECOMING a favorite, it's shit.
Whataboutism isn't an argument. Commercialized sports are ALL bad.

Not defending OP for being an annoying shill (even if I like the manga) but it only just started being translated last year.

Too late OP, I already read Bluelock. The premise is silly but I like some of the characters, like Garou.

only Argentina thinks that

The premise is borderline fantasy and sone of their reasonings about football by that Ego guy is juvenile. But the characters are fun even though they couldn't shut up about muh weapon and muh chemical reaction shit.

Barou you mean and I agree he is the most likable. Also OP, blue lock is far from even being the top 5 sports manga.

I know it's obvious, but a sports manga/anime demographic's majority is never the players of the sport. Why bother with writing adhering to actual tactics and strategies when it doesn't have to make sense half of the time? Imagine using Haikyuu strategies for playing volleyball lmfao if a real life Kageyama/Hinata pair ever existed they'd be playing D1 in the states at the very least.

but Captain Tsubasa was watched by a lot of football player

Oh yeah my bad, I'm surprised that I ended up rooting for a selfish asshole by seeing him refuse to give in to the MC was cool.

The chemical reaction shit is one of my only issues, seeing the MC use that term out loud was cringeworthy.

using haikyuu as your example when it's one of the most grounded sports manga is beyond me
why not just use kuroko instead

>not liking the best sport ever made
fucking burguers

Sounds a bit too fantastical for my taste, I prefer my sports manga to be a little bit more grounded, like Giant Killing.

Wait you mean breaking a guy's ankles by just looking at them is unrealistic?

what did he mean by this

Someone recomended this two days back, and I've read every chapter available in English in one sitting.

Shit is entertaining. Some of the aspects that I like are:

Other Shounen:
>muh nakama
This: Fuck everyone and be the only one standing.

Other sports shounen:
>let's aim for the nationals.
This: Fuck it, let's select only one stricker so that he will win the world cup, even if failing Blue Lock means you will never reach the national team (rising the stakes of losing). Trample on the dreams of others and aim for this goal.

Better when it's girls tbqhwy.

>waaah, stop posting manga in an anime & manga board.

Shut the fuck up, thanks for user like this I've had something to read.

OK, will do.

how can you shill something when no company (bar the hosting site) makes anything out of this?

The reason the manga is structured pretty much like an edgy battle royale but with soccer is because the author is the one behind Kami-sama no Iutoori; though it's comparatively a lot more grounded than that manga was. Obviously the style isn't for everyone, just putting it out there.
Also the author behind Bokutachi ga Yarimashita, Grashros, and Jagaaaaaan

Yep, while I don't mind the manga it's a prime example of why the Japs and Asians in general will always be shit at footy.
