From the soccer manga “Blue Lock,” the “Blue Lock 47 Prefecture Egoist Cards” are now available, which allow you to learn about the 47 prefectures. A special card set with 50 beautiful original illustrations will be on sale at bookstores and online bookstores nationwide from October 17, 2024.
“Blue Lock” is a hugely popular comic that has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, won the 45th Kodansha Manga Award in the Boys’ category, and is currently being serialized in Kodansha’s “Weekly Shonen Magazine.” It is a soccer manga that has been the subject of much discussion, and was featured in the “Blue Lock Comedians” episode of Ame Talk (TV Asahi).
The first season of the TV anime “Blue Lock” will air on TV Asahi from October 2022 to March 2023, with the first movie version, “Blue Lock: Episode Nagi,” set to premiere in April 2024. The second season of the TV series will air on TV Asahi’s nationwide “IMAnimation” slot every Saturday from 11:30 p.m. in October 2024.
The newly released “Blue Lock 47 Prefecture Egoist Card” is a card version of the full-page advertisement for each of the 47 prefectures that was published in the Asahi Shimbun morning edition in 2023 to commemorate the release of the comic. The characters mutter lines about the characteristics of each region, which became a hot topic.
Due to its appeal, readers asked, “Can you only see it live in the Asahi Shimbun for that prefecture?”, which led to the commercialization of the card.
In addition to the illustrated cards, there are joker cards, game changer cards, and spare cards that will make Japanese geography even more fun, making this a set of 50 cards that can only be purchased here.
On the back, there are information on the characteristics of each prefecture, world heritage sites, and other frequently asked elements that will be useful for junior high school entrance exams and regular junior high school tests.
In addition, the prefectures each character comes from are also listed. Become a Blue Rock character and conquer all 47 prefectures.
In addition, this product is a luxurious 4-piece set that will satisfy both adults and children, and includes many other items besides the cards. The Japan Map & Card Complete Poster is double-sided, with a Japan Map poster introducing 5 types of card games and a complete poster with all the cards.
The game “Quiz 100 Goals” comes with a sheet of 100 quizzes so you can recreate the famous scene from “Blue Lock”, the 100 Goals, or have fun playing against each other. Aim to conquer all 100 questions, from beginner to SS level.
There is also a large, luxurious cardboard board that allows you to see the Egoists in rare holiday scenes, making this a product that covers everything from play to appreciation.
The price of the “Blue Lock 47 Prefectures Egoist Card” is 2,530 yen (tax included). It will be on sale at bookstores and online bookstores nationwide from October 17, 2024.
