About Blue Lock
*Blue Lock* is a captivating soccer manga serialized in Koudansha’s “Weekly Shounen Magazine,” with an original story by Kaneshiro Muneyuki-sensei and illustrations by Nomura Yuusuke-sensei. The series sets the stage for the ambitious “Blue Lock (Blue Prison)” project, designed to cultivate the world’s greatest striker capable of leading Japan to a World Cup victory. The narrative follows 300 talented high school students, including the protagonist Kiyoshi Youichi, who are invited to this intense program. They must navigate a brutal survival game, sometimes ruthlessly eliminating competitors, and constantly evolving to overcome formidable challenges.
The manga has achieved immense popularity, with over 40 million copies in circulation worldwide, and was honored with the Shounen Category award at the “45th Koudansha Manga Award.” Furthermore, excitement continues to build with the ongoing official flagship exhibition for the TV anime, “Blue Lock Exhibition EGOIST EXHIBITION the animation,” which kicked off in April 2025. Following its initial run in Toukyou and Oosaka, the exhibition is set to tour eight more cities across Japan.
Introducing the Blue Lockchi: Tamagotchi nano colorful
This latest addition to the “Tamagotchi nano colorful” series brings a fresh experience to fans. Stepping up from the traditional black-and-white LCD, the device now boasts a vibrant color screen and a rechargeable battery, ensuring you can enjoy playtime for even longer. With its convenient palm-sized design, measuring approximately 4 centimeters, the Blue Lockchi beautifully and adorably renders its characters, bringing them to life in vivid detail.
Train Your Ultimate Striker!
In this exciting game, you’ll have the chance to raise over 20 different strikers! Beyond Kiyoshi Youichi, you can nurture members of Team Z and even those who fought alongside Japan in the national team matches. Your mission is to develop the world’s best striker by feeding them meals and snacks, and engaging them in various mini-games. But beware! If you neglect your companion, Ego Jinpachi, Nagi Seishirou, Shidou Ryuusei, or Aiku Oliver might take over your screen, potentially leading to your character’s elimination from the Blue Lock program!
Another fantastic feature made possible by the color LCD screen is the ability to revisit beloved scenes from the mini-anime *Blue Lock: Additional Time!* This adds an extra layer of enjoyment and nostalgia for fans.
The Blue Lockchi was developed under the careful supervision of the original creators, Kaneshiro Muneyuki-sensei and Nomura Yuusuke-sensei, ensuring an authentic experience. It will be available in two distinct versions: Blue ver. and Black ver.
