Blue Lock Vol.39 - Special Edition

Blue Lock Vol.39 - Special Edition (ブルーロック 39) is the football manga by Kaneshiro Muneyuki and Nomura Yūsuke about egoist strikers.

In this volume the U-20 World Cup match against France continues: Japan concedes a second goal to Yugo and reaches half-time 1-0 down. Having felt the strength of the favourites led by Loki, BL JAPAN brings on Shidō and Barou and switches tactics in an all-out attacking duel that tests the essence of "ego"; caught between No.1 and No.2, Isagi searches for his one-and-only egoism.

This special edition includes an exclusive newly-drawn SD sticker of Karasu, Hiori and Otoya in school uniform.

Recommended level: Intermediate (JLPT N3–N2). As a shōnen title every kanji carries furigana, which makes it approachable for intermediate learners, though it includes football and tactical vocabulary.

Original Japanese version, with furigana.
