About Blue Lock: The Story Behind the Phenomenon
Kodansha licenses the Blue Lock manga in English, and Crunchyroll streams the anime. The story follows Japan's desperate desire for World Cup glory and the creation of an innovative and rigorous training program to find the national team's next striker. Three hundred high school players compete for the position, but only one will come out on top. Who will rise to the challenge and usher in a new era for Japanese soccer?
