I've never in my life been so terrified to read the next page until chapter eight of this manga. What an absolutely horrifying panel to read through. It still chokes me up upon re-read -- it permeates through the page and seeps into your skin. The idea of such a situation, the possibility of acting upon such , terrifying , callused thoughts... the life of staggered isolation driving itself into a wall. Further beyond the supernatural, the natural - continues to terrify me more thoroughly than I could ever imagine.
All I want to do is scream out against such a weak-willed person, but the
...
corruption runs too deep. My unfiltered thoughts of hate towards Takao should be valid and give me reason for a sullen review, but I simply can't bring myself to do it due to how well Sawa conveys her corruption. It's so convincing in fact that my arguments don't make sense -- because they don't stay true to Takao's motivations. Takao should all well tell Sawa to bugger off, but we know he can't...-, in fact, in the most permeating, horrifying, and dreadful way you can ever imagine -- take one good look at Takao and something in you 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵.
Though... the plot flows into a seriously edgy-angsty-teen tone which I much didn't care for at all -- rather than a tightrope, it's now turned into a fiesta of sorts. All filled with Sawa constantly (for lack of a better word) rage-baiting Takao into such impossible situations that I can't help but roll my eyes.
You can't help but feel disgust at Takao's father, knowing he's caused such a disgusting being to lurk unfaltered -- what a terrible parent. Further reading will lead you to the conclusion that the true evil does not lie in Sawa but DEEPLY in Takao. What a sick-festered individual. Someone must slap some sense into this stupid, stupid child. What an ignorant human he truly is. Entirely, this manga consists of two blatant re049ds doing nonsensical drivel all in the guise of extreme teen angst and revolting codswallop literature. Imagine if they just got jobs and killed themselves like normal people. 6/10, I like when fiction gets me thinking.

If there is one thing I absolutely despise in stories, it is the failure to make motivation feel natural. You can seriously not hurt your story more than giving every character the need to characterize the main character for him. Add on to this someone who arguably cannot be labeled as weak willed -- but simply poorly written and under-minded -- Kakeru Aizawa.
As enjoyee's, if you could call it of such a medium, is there not one true desire that trumps all -- ESPECIALLY in sports manga?... EMOTION. You set a precedent for your narrative once you give into clichés. You rely on them to
...
obscure the clearly amateur writing. Because when you hide it, it becomes obvious what every conversation is leading too, what every outcome will be. You lose all the nuisance, all originality. I know for a fact that Seven will always say and think beyond Kakeru, where is the fun in reading your main character be lectured whilst he stands there like a doofus with no rebuttal.
"But it's just a sports manga, you can't expect such in depth development and writing -- the plot is the football, you're being unfair". Yes, I can, that's what makes this medium so special. Even adults can adore well written child mediums. Good art stands above arbitrary categories. I write this because I so deeply detest to see talent be wasted on such poor-taste-non-sense stories. I can appreciate the tragedy aspects, but the mischief of seven with an ADULT therapist to selfishly connive a 'future football star' is not only too ridiculous and stupid for this narrative, but pulls me out so far that I only begin to see the bad all over. Your mc can have his own opinions and inner conflict, don't just shy away from it and force it upon the other characters and call it low self confidence -- that's just low writing.
I enjoy the rage in Blue Lock, I adore the passion from Ao Ashi, I feel the desire from Be Blues, and yet I loathe the fantasy of Area no Kishi.

While I love the art, it's far too cluttered to pay attention. I can't focus on anything when inanimate objects are constantly talking, characters are cartoonish-ly hitting each other -- taking up panel space and cluttering things even further. As well the story is insanely insanely boring. I'm quite biased here but, random spawn able souls with outlandish features are so lame. I feel no grip in this story during the fight scenes because they're so lacking compared to other mangas. I DESPISE when there are no stakes in a story. No characters react realistically. There is no sense of relatability. This is pure action
...
slop for kids.
Alright I'm clearly not the right demographic for this. If you are above 16 years old you probably won't like this. Old ass complains about kid shows. Nice.

The further it goes the worse it gets unfortunately. The beginning of the Christmas bowl arc is ridiculously convoluted and repetitive. Jumping from field to field, different places and characters constantly -- this is to say it's a difficult read especially if your already starting to be burnt out over the repetitive random op character insert every fucking match.
Monta is unbearable, Sena is borderline unbearable. The powerups just don't seem very realistic? I don't know why but I just can't see Sena getting THAT much better. I think some character design changes over time would have drastically helped my immersion into the story. To second
...
that, it really feels like constant non-stop bullshit, which gets unreadable. Once you get to 250+ you're basically skipping every "reaction to something" panel cause it's just mind-numbing at that point. Right before a match? Let's scout out the area and have a character building anime moment! We must do this every time before every opponent! We must have Suzuna and Mamori do nothing! They are confided to reacting and being sad for the male characters after some anime bullshit.
It's like who cares at some points. WOW! Better eye shield 21?? Holy for the 5th time Sena must overcome this and beat the so called eye shield! Like on top of Senas unrealistic power ups It just makes me want to skip chapters. If even the author doesn't care why the fuck should I. 1 LAST THING: I get it, they beat the standard, short players have value and are strong. BUT for this story, it doesn't work, at all. Sena and Monta in particular look, act and feel SO so weak and that's a problem I have with every character other than the core 3 of Deimon. I can't explain why this is honestly. I think its the paneling or design or even art style but its quite a glaring issue.
There's more to complain about but I like so much otherwise that it's not relevant. 8/10 I do love it tho.

Oh my God NO ONE CARES about your feelings dawg. Can these characters not just do their jobs? Can it not just be a manga about some dude writing interesting stories. Can we read some of the work he's written? Can we see drafts of his work? Is it really necessary to act like emotional toddlers with every character? Feelings this, love that, CAN YOU PLEASE GET A JOB OR A HOBBY HOLY. Can these HORNY bastards do anything but think about love. Why must Natsuo act like this. Can you not just say "stop" bro. It simply cannot be that hard. Just say no,
...
moron.
2/10 never write again.
