Eyeshield 21 16
December 12, 2007
And why not throw in a volume of Eyeshield 21 for the road? I’ve been reading a lot lately, and I’m a bit behind in writing these (I still have the last three volumes of 3×3 Eyes from over a month ago to talk about), so I may as well sneak one last review in before bed.
So in case you were wondering, yes, after sixteen volumes of nothing but football, featuring solid volumes like this one where only about half or less of a game is played, this series is amazing. We get the first half of the game with Seibu Wild Gunman, and there is a lot of focus on Yoichi Hiruma and how he plays the game. Seibu is revealed to be a team that isn’t easily outsmarted, and Hiruma has a number of angles to play against them. He genuinely fails a couple times, but never gives up in true Shounen Jump style.
Also, a new teammate for Deimon! Hooray!
