Hello everyone, some great news has come in today! I have news that will make you look forward to this winter even more, and I'd like to share it with you all! I'm Boss from Otaku Republic.

Hello everyone! I believed this news would come around the time the movie was released! Let's check it out right away! I'm Saori from Otaku Republic!

【Blue Lock】Season 2 of the Anime Set to Air in October 2024! Don't Miss Out on the Currently Successful Blue Lock Movie Either!

Celebrating the decision to start airing Season 2 of the anime from October 2024! The movie version's box office revenue has also surpassed 1 billion yen, and the anticipation and popularity of Blue Lock are steadily increasing!

When was this news about the second season's airing date announced?

This news was announced at the support screening with a birthday commemorative stage greeting for Nagi-Kun, which was held on 5/6 at 'Blue Lock EPISODE Nagi' movie edition. Essentially, it's a special event to watch the movie with the creator and voice actors while celebrating Nagi-Kun's birthday!

The story once again heads to a fierce selection battle! The first season of the anime consists of 24 episodes, and the manga version goes up to the second selection, which ends at Volume 11, Chapter 94!

In the movie version, they depicted Nagi-Kun's past, his participation in the current Blue Lock project, and the early stages of the selection battles that followed, right?

Yes, honestly, the movie version was a work that depicted the anime from a “different perspective,” so I think you can fully understand the content of the second season even if you haven't watched the movie version! (Of course, watching the movie version enhances the characters' resolution, making the story feel more interesting if you have watched it!)

So, if you're thinking of reading or watching Blue Lock from now, it would be good to review it in the next few months until this October. The first season of the anime has all 24 episodes, and the manga version goes up to the second selection ending at Volume 11, Chapter 94, which is quite a nice breakpoint.

The manga version released its latest volume, Volume 28, in March! The second season of the anime also has enough story stock to make about 24 episodes......?

How much divergence is there between the manga and the anime versions in terms of the story right now?

Are you asking about how much of the story has not yet been animated? If so, since the anime version has depicted up to about the middle of Volume 11, and considering the manga is now up to Volume 28...... it seems there's enough stock to cover another 24 episodes? It looks like they might release about two more volumes by the time this second season airs.

I see! Well, there's plenty of time and volume to thoroughly read the manga for future developments, as well as to check out the anime's first season that has been aired so far! So, whether you're new to Blue Lock or already know a lot about it, why not spend this summer prepping and revisiting Blue Lock?
