Let's make this quickly as possible (it won't be). Be Blues is a very good manga in the beginning, but as story progresses, everything turns mediocre to the point I dropped after 350 chapters, kinda first 100 chapter are very good, 200-300 are good, 200-300 are between good and very good, but after chapter 300, the quality dropped severely. It's not that changed everything radically, on the contrary, it does not change. The pattern starts to annoys too much.
Story
As a spokon, is a 10. The football stuff are almost 100% accurate and every topic related is on point. BUT, as any other context, it sucks.
...
The drama starts to get cheap; romance is trash, is not a romantic manga, but at the end it gives you harem feel (i don't have anything vs harems) that you start questioning how the heck it reached that point.
8/10.
Art:
I like it, good designed characters (drawing) that becomes more and more well drawn progressively.
7/10.
Characters
I give it a 5/10 because the associated word (mediocre) it represents this category the better. Altough I like to give it a 1/10. Definitelly the reason why I dropped the manga. It's just painful to see how the character development it never comes, or their issues are resolved in 4 pages for almost every secondary ones.
It all turns around the MC. It doesn't even give you the chance of watch a glimpse of friendship, a boss-minions relationship. It's like trying to create the most perfect person ever, but at the end that feels like you are watching a story of a robot, the MC doesn't feel human, you can't be identified or admire him, you just can't thought this is a good character.
In my opinion, secondary characters are more interesting and relatable, but just one or two have a decent development. The rest is just static, at least at the point I left. It's a shame because I see a lot of potential on them, but the author doesn't give a damn. It just want to constantly buff the MC and anything works without him. I think is because the premise that "the MC must never give up on his dreams, even if everything is lost". Anyway, it would be a great manga if characters weren't that idealised, I get disgusted just thinking about. It's algorithmical.
Enjoyment
I really enjoyed the matches that are most of the content. I have to say I can't predict some stuff in them, I really like that. Anything else gives me indifference.
7/10
Overall
I think is a good manga, for atleast 300 chapters. If you realise before how things are gonna be, that would turn in like 100-150.
7/10
