BE BLUES ~Ao ni nare~
A prodigy soccer player whose flame has been snuffed out sparks once again. Really dramatic the start. MC breaks his legs? From a fall down a stairwell. I liked the manga's small details in demonstrating the MC's character. Like how he always holds onto the railing in case of a fall. It starts becoming more about soccer after the beginning of the manga. It isn't like Ao Ashi, but I do think this soccer manga is on par with it. Loved the intensity of the soccer matches. Also, the teammates' characters? So well done. Ultimately, this is an absolute gem of a sports manga. Loved, loved, LOVED the action! The ending is a little abrupt, though. I wish we could have seen the MC's pro arc, but it did leave me feeling hopeful. It provided a little glimpse into the characters' future. Compared to other sports manga *cough* Ace of Diamond *cough*, the ending to this isn't so bad. One of the best sports manga out there!!
