Together with Ryokan Kurita, Mamori Anezaki, and Yoichi Hiruma, they begin recruiting and building an unstoppable team that cannot be beaten with the ultimate goal; playing in the Christmas Bowl.

What to Expect

American Football. This is ALL about football. While this might be off-putting for several people, the rules are actually explained throughout the series in a way most people will understand. Even if you don’t like football, you can still read this and enjoy it. The story revolves around football, but is actually about everyone in the story growing up and how they become a team. Sena himself grows more confident and even loves the game of football.

Friendships are made, rivalries begin, and dreams are broken. Introduced throughout the story is a staggering number of characters, some more memorable than others, but each different in their own way, creating an ensemble cast that plays off of each other in very interesting, and comedic, ways.

Characters Sena Kobayakawa is a timid and shy, leading him to be bullied for most of his life. By helping run errands for bullies, he develops the ability to run faster than most people. With his ability, he is recruited to be the Running Back for the Deimon Devil Bats. To protect his identity, he is given the moniker Eyeshield 21; ace football player from the famous Notre Dame University. Tetsuo Ishimaru is the track team captain who plays for the Deimon Devil Bats in hopes of recruiting Eyeshield 21 for the track team. He is a second Running back and has played in every Devil Bat’s game, making him an honorary member. He is a nice person whose kindness is abused by everyone else. The running joke is that he is barely noticeable and ignored.

Due to the stylistic illustrations and incredible 2-page spreads, the manga is the recommended experience. While the anime is very good, the animation doesn’t hold up as well as the manga, which is disappointing and even though it’s 145 episodes, it ended before the actual manga. The anime only went up to the Quarter-Finals of the Christmas bowl, ending with a non-canonical game that never happened in the manga.
