— May 27th 2024The exclusive Panini Comics Variant Cover arrives, celebrating the 20th Scudetto of the Nerazzurri team
Blue Lock, a sports manga published in Italy by Panini Comics under the Planet Manga publishing line, returns to the spotlight with a special variant cover celebrating Inter’s 20th Scudetto. At the end of the championship, the collaboration between Inter and Blue Lock reached another significant milestone, following the key visual of the Japan tour last summer.
The famous characters of the manga, written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, wear the iconic Nerazzurri team jersey used this season, in a visual from the comic recoloured for the occasion by Nicola Righi.
The volume is destined to hold a special place on the shelves of all fans of the Italian Champions (and beyond) and will be available only by reservation for a limited period. You can pre-order your copy starting today, Monday, 27 May, until 4 June, on panini.it and at your favourite comic book shop.
This unmissable Panini Comics edition, born from the collaboration between Inter and Blue Lock, confirms the growth of the Nerazzurri brand across the board, appealing to both football fans and comic enthusiasts. It creates a genuine fusion between the two worlds, celebrating once again the victory of the historic 20th Scudetto.
The story of Blue Lock is set in 2018. The elimination from the World Cup confirmed the limitations of the Japanese national team. Team spirit alone is not enough. To win, you must score goals. For this reason, the Japanese Football Association devised a programme to find promising young players and develop a striker who will lead Japan to World Cup victory. Leading this audacious project, with the declared goal of selecting the "most egoistical" striker, is coach Jinpachi Ego. This revolutionary strategy to "end Japan losing football" will test three hundred young talents who must survive the rigorous training in a special facility known as the "Blue Prison." Only one will emerge victorious from this football Battle Royale. Who will survive the hell of Blue Lock?
