Eyeshield 21

EyeShield 21, By Yusuke Murata is an American Football based manga. It centers around a young shy and very non-confrontational boy named Sena and his secret ability to run like the wind. At the school Sena attends there is a dead-end American football team that has only two dedicated members, Hiruma the captain/quarterback, and Kurita the main blocker. One day Hiruma witness’s Sena’s speed and agility skills when being bullied at school and immediately recruits him for the schools team, the ‘Demon Devil Bats’ but as Sena does not want anyone to know who he is he takes on the pseudo character of ’Eyeshield 21’ who wear’s an eye protector over his helmet to hide his face. Along the way the team gains more players, expands their own skills, and is constantly making their teamwork better. The manga focus’s on the teams passion for football, and their will to win.

If you love sports manga’s this may be the ultimate one, its long, intense and full of awesome adventures. All the characters that come up in the story line are always developed to a very relatable level and have their own problems and skills to work on. The manga focus on the whole team/individual players strength and weakness’s and how to keep making themselves a greater force. Along with being fun and funny haha its very realistic and had a lot of information to share! This was the most enjoyable way to learn a\bout football for me, I was doing powderpuff for school a year ago and had really no clue about football(Like most of the girls though) and I know can proudly say I can keep up with the sport. 

Except for the fact that’s it’s a very run-on manga I enjoyed it!
