Kodansha released a new video to commemorate the collaboration between BLUE LOCK and Liverpool FC, along with images of its first floor entrance display. The series has been the official global partner of the soccer club since 2021. The manga was the best-selling series of 2023, while Liverpool is currently at the top of the English Premier League with 6 points and a game in hand over its first follower Arsenal.
Kodansha’s display features both the soccer team and the manga’s characters. Their caption mentions “the energy boosts our mood every time we walk past it.”
Back before Season 2 of the anime started, volumes 1 through 5 of the BLUE LOCK manga were released with limited-edition covers featuring Yoichi Isagi, Meguru Bachira, Rensuke Kunigami, Hyoma Chigiri, and Seishiro Nagi wearing Liverpool FC jourseys.
