Where to read the Blue Lock Manga with Chapter 356
Fans can read Chapter 355 of the Blue Lock manga, written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro, on Kodansha’s official digital platform, K MANGA. The chapter will also be published in the Weekly Shonen Magazine in print.
The upcoming chapter will continue the U-20 World Cup Arc and will likely focus on England’s defense tactics inspired by knights. The reported title of the chapter is “The Seven Knights.” This suggests that the chapter might give us a closer look at the team’s strong defensive layout.
With Isagi beginning to understand the tactics, he might get an idea about how to switch to a more effective strategy. The chapter could see Isagi come up with a plan to break the English defense after realizing that Shido’s tactics will not cut it any longer.
Thus, Japan may finally be able to break through the seemingly impenetrable defense of England and turn the entire match around. The upcoming chapter might also dive into the enigmatic Teddy Knight and his connection with coach Fox.
