Written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotoge, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba tells the story of Tanjirou Kamado, the eldest son of a poor family who lives during the Taisho era. One day, his whole family were slaughtered by an unknown demon when he left home to sell charcoal. The only family member who survived is her little sister Nezuko. Unfortunately, Nezuko also begins to transform into a demon. Now Tanjirou has to undergo a dangerous journey to find a cure for his half-demon sister. The manga was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shounen Jump from February 2016 to May 2020, collecting 23 tankoubon volumes in total.
Written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, the story of Blue Lock began with Japan’s elimination from the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The elimination prompts the Japan Football Union to start a program for high school football players in preparation for the 2022 World Cup. The Union initiates a prison-like training institution called Blue Lock, which isolates 300 young forwards and puts them through rigorous training to create “the world’s greatest egoistic striker”. Blue Lock began its serialization in Kodansha’s Weekly Shounen Magazine in August 2018.
Written by Masaya Tsunamoto and illustrated by Tsujimoto, Giant Killing focused on a fictional football club called East Tokyo United (ETU). The team has struggled in Japan’s top football league because of the lack of funding and good quality players. However, their fortune changed when they hired Takeshi Tatsumi, an eccentric young manager who once played for ETU in his early days. The manga is serialized in Kodansha’s Morning magazine since January 11, 2007.
