Eyeshield 21 Vol. 01. Catch all the bone-crushing action and slapstick comedy of Japan’s hottest football manga!

Wimpy Sena Kobayakawa has been running away from bullies all his life. But when the football gear comes on, things change–Sena’s speed and uncanny ability to elude big bullies just might give him what it takes to become a great high school football hero!

What does a wimpy kid who’s been bullied all his life have to depend on but his own two feet?
