It's not my favourite yugioh series but I still really enjoyed it. These are my personal thoughts on the cast :
- I think, in hindsight, that Yusei was a tad too perfect, in the sense where he basically won (almost) every duel and that he always seemed like the one who was in the right. He had no imperfections in his character so, I kinda wished he lost a proper duel ,at least once, to either Jack or Antinomy, so that he would have looked more "human".
- I really liked Crow when I first saw him but when I rewatched the show years later, I ... found him annoying ngl. You can kinda see how he wasn't supposed to be a signer and how he was forced into a bigger role in the series. He wasn't a bad character but I do think that he should've have had less duels.
- Aki was deserving of a better fate. She literally became a non factor after the dark signers arc, which is disappointing, because she was a really cool character with a good backstory ( I recommend watching MangaKamen on yt, he made a great video on her ).
- Luna was sadly uninteresting to me. They didn't really try to make her the most impactful. I'm fine with Ruka's role and screen time.
- Jack is my favourite. His personality was entertaining and his jap V.A. was awesome. He had a great character development and he was a good first antagonist to yusei. I really enjoyed his moments with Carly, which is why I'll never forgive them for ruining their relationship by ignoring everything that happened between them following the dark signer arc (mostly by how the end of their duel was emotional). I don't know how it was so a hard to preserve their romance, above all how it wasn't the only mature part of the show.

Its a good manga but I just find it boring most of the times.

First of all, I don't find shogi interesting at all even though I think the story does well to explain it, so from that its almost half the story kinda skimmed through. I hoped to invest myself in the game but I just couldn't, although the system and the preparation for the matches to happen were enjoyable to learn about. I find most of the characters uninteresting except the mc, his crazy step sis, the three sisters and the baseball player. The moment the story isn't about character development, I find it ... kinda bland. Im not a fan of this kinda poetic narration ,tho I don't really mind it either.

I know its mostly a negative review but I still think its a good manga, just not amazing.

If you enjoy this manga, good for you. I'll would of like it more if it was in my first read but its just the casual romcom. Nothing stands out to me really. Its cute tho.

Komi is boring to me. She is the cute/shy generic girl imo. The social anxiety aspect of her isn't something that I'm interested in.

Tadano is fine but too bland for my taste. He's not a bad character but not a great one either.He fits in the story well.

The side characters are forgettable except for Najimi and the yandere(not that I liked her).


A solid 5. At the ... end, its only my opinion.

The manga is great as a teen, kinda annoying as an adult. The art is great and the concept is cool, problem is that the dialogues are redundant. How many time do you need to use metaphors relating to wings or flying until its enough. Like, we know that the main message of the story is all about being free and how important it is, but do every character possible needs to remind us of it? The story gets better further in the chapters but it does stay cringy no matter what. The manga has other flaws but its mostly subjective. I would rate it ... a 5/10 purely cause of the dialogues but I just love everything else about Air Gear so I rate it a 8/10.

Idk if there's any part considered spoiler in my text but if so, sorry.

This manga is great....then you finish the first arc. The story start with the revenge plot, where the MC is wrongfully accused and then we follow him on his tragic situation. The thing is, when you're done reading this arc, the rest of story becomes incredibly bland. Except naofumi and his gang, every other character have just no effort put into them whatsoever, more specifically the three other isekai guys. You would think that after the first act, they would have grown or changed or something would have made them more interesting, ... but no. The story is still enjoyable but its not able to grab your attention as much as the revenge arc. Its still a decent manga but it really let me down.

I can fully understand how people can like Blue Lock and if you enjoy it, then good for you, but in my case I will say this: I was really disappointed. This manga had so much potential with his unique trope of the selfishness in soccer. It could have fully exploited this idea by making a story way more dark and realist, but instead, it went to the basic shounen story. I had couldn't get past chapter 24 cuz at this point I felt like the story shifted from dark and compelling to basic "friendship power" style. Imo, this manga is like the perfect ... "edgy teen": seems gloomy and complex but is really just cringe. The art is great, the premise is great and the story might become great later on, but I just can bring myself to continue Blue Lock. But again, its a matter of taste so that just my opinion.

P.S. : pls, don't even compare this to ao ashito, their style and story are too different and I just can't stop cringing at the people who says that blue lock story is better than ao ashito.
