posted on by Egan Loo
Based on Shonen Jump manga about American football in Japan
The Yūsuke Murata's manga about the American style of football — as it is played in Japan.
In the story, Sena Kobayakawa is a scrawny boy who is always being picked on at school. However, being every bully's errand boy has made him fast and nimble on his feet. His high school's American football team drafts him as their secret star running back and hide his identity with a dark green visor. With a jersey number of 21, Sena is now "Eyeshield 21."
The anime NFL Japan had co-sponsored Eyeshield 21's Japanese broadcast and even hosted a section on its website that was entirely dedicated to the anime.)
