He is a mangaka from Tokyo, Japan. He debuted in October 2001 with Nandodemo Roku Gatsu Jū San Hi, and also wrote for the magazine Square Freeze and Love Love Santa, published in November 2001 and in February 2002 respectively. He later moved to Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump, in wich he won the 7th "Story King" section in the same year.
Eyeshield 21: The World Is Mine continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (306–315) of the on-going manga series.
The tankōbon covers the prelude to the American Football Youth World Cup up to the semi-finals of the tournament. The first part of the tankōbon has Japan selecting their team for the upcoming international tournament. Five members from the Deimon Devil Bats were chosen to be starters: Sena Kobayakawa, Monta, Ryokan Kurita, Yoichi Hiruma, and Musashi. The rest of the starters and back-ups where chosen from the various teams that were mentioned in the series.
The American Football Youth World Cup is a fictitious sixteen single-player knockout tournament with teams comprising of Australia, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the fictional Militaria, New Zealand, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and the United States.
For the first round, Team Japan has drawn to play against Team Russia, which they won with a score of 34–20. Their quarterfinal round was played against Team Militaria, which they decisively won with a score of 77–0. Their semi-final round was played against Team Germany, which they also won with a score of 34–24. Having winning all their matches, Team Japan advances to the finals to play against the host country – the United States of America.
This tankōbon is written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Yusuke Murata. For the most part, I really liked how the story is progressing. I was quite surprised at the break-neck speeds that this tankōbon cover this tournament. I was used to having one match last one or two tankōbon, but it seems like the bulk of this tournament was contained into one. In fact, the quarterfinals and semi-finals were done within a single chapter – I blinked and realized that I missed that one round ended and another began. Regardless, it seems that the most important match of the series is against the United States and it seems that the narrative would slow down for that match.
All in all, Eyeshield 21: The World Is Mine is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more.
World championship time, and going international means a return to stereotypes and talking about how biologically superior Black people are! To be honest this isn't really a tournament, we're told it's a tournament then fast-forward through team selection and almost all the games in a single volume. It's so rushed! This is basically a victory lap for the characters, going back and bringing all the most memorable opponents under a single "Japan" team so we get to see them all again. That's fine and all, do your thing, but nothing about it is exciting. It's all fanservice with no real payoff here.
Barangkali klimaksnya adalah pada jilid 34. Jujur saja 3 volume akhir ini hanya pelengkap. Namun tetap saja sayang untuk dilewatkan. Meski alur berjalan sangat cepat namun tetap memberi khas tersendiri dalam serial ini
So I thought this series was going to wrap up with the Christmas Bowl, I was shocked to see that game ending so early when I thought it was going to take us all the way to vol 37. I was wrong, and we are given one more last minute last ditch get all the important characters in there arc to wrap up this entire series. The (gridiron) football world cup is such a cool idea I wish it was real. Alas football is barely played elsewhere than North America, and the competition wouldn't really be very good ( 1980'sUSA Olympic basketball team level beatdowns would occur). Still it's a great plot device, my only problem with it is the whole global tournament is basically down in an entire volume when the Tokyo regional tourney took almost 10 whole volumes of the series! Seriously, I was really hoping to see some more flushed out and interesting international teams throughout this thing...who the hell is Militaria anyway You had a whole list of real countries only to include some random fake nation? WHY? I also understand that this is a manga and Japanese people probably don't know a whole lot about the sport, but some of those first round match results were odd. India beats Australia, but Austalia has way more of a history as a rugby nation, and rugby is very tied to gridiron football. Germany also CRUSHES Canada. Like literally routes them. They really play up the former NFLE (NFL Europe) league, and the overwhelming success the German teams had when it was active, but Canada's football history is deep. Despite the rules being altered slightly, the Gray Cup is actually the longest running football championship in the world – older than the NFL's Super Bowl. Canada would have put up more of a fight is all I'm saying here! The other thing that I want to point out about this is something that actually kind of bothered me. The unintended racism in Eyeshield 21 is starting to become me obvious to me as I start to wrap it up. The whole idea that western Americans have genetic physical superiority over Asians is just stupid. Even worse is some of the dialogue surrounding the returning Panther, who is of course black, and black people are according to this mangaka the “apex of physical genetics”. With lines like that or “No one can out run a black man” what would you think? Especially for a shonen manga that aims towards teenagers this was over the top and has really started to effect how much I'm enjoying this series overall in the final few volumes. This was a very interesting lens of international race relations to say the least.
loser's fiction- boy struggling to get into basketball team but fails many times....bibliotherapy for anyone facing hard time in sport Eyeshield 21 is in the adult section, and it's about the wrong sport, and the main character is innately talented in sports, but I think it relates. The team doesn't always win and there are people on lots of the teams that don't have what it takes to be the star or to even be a bench-warmer and they just keep practicing and not giving up. One of the main side characters later on really wants to be a baseball star, but he is never accepted onto the team and finds out that he is pretty solid at football. It's a very sportsmanly story, it's not didactic, AND it's a comic. It's in the adult section, but I've read half of them and haven't run into anything lewd. If bibliotherapy is what this kid is into, Eyeshield 21 is spot-on.-AD
