‘Blue Lock’ and ‘Prison School’ Creators Collab on an Isekai Manga

Blue Lock and Prison School are stories that run on the same idea but are from entirely different genres. One is a brutal sports anime with serious tones, while the other is a sex comedy.

The audience (for the most part) and creators are obsessed with putting students in a prison-like facility. So what happens when these two put their heads together for a single manga? We get a mixed-genre isekai.

Akira Hiramoto Muneyuki Kaneshiro launched a new manga series, ‘Super Ball Girls’, on October 14, 2022. It began serialization in the 21st issue of Kodansha’s Big Comic Superior magazine.

The story is a little bit of everything, and you can infer from the title itself that both mangakas have left their essence all over it.

Unfortunately, Prison School is a story that we’re familiar with, while Blue Lock is pretty new and has started gaining popularity. Both of these stories feature a prison facility for students, but for completely different purposes.

These manga are also famous for the kind of brutality they portray and the trauma the characters are put through. I guess that Super Ball Girls will also be similar in those aspects.

The difference between the mangakas’ previous works and their collab is the lack of prison, though it may happen later on. As stated earlier, the manga is a mixed genre that includes sci-fi, rom-com, and even horror.

Akira and Muneyuki have made some batshit crazy ideas into a well-written story, simultaneously making you curious and concerned. While you’re curious about the plot, you also become concerned over how gut-wrenching it might be.

Another similarity between Blue Lock and Prison School is that the protagonists are male and are put through some cruel situations. Since the collab manga states that it will feature beautiful girls in an isekai, I think that won’t happen in this one (hopefully).

Blue Lock and Prison School are known for their dark and cynical plots, and Super Ball Girls somehow gives out the same energy.

Here’s what I’m trying to say – read it at your own risk.

About Blue Lock

Blue Lock is a Japanese manga series written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura. It has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine since August 2018. Blue Lock won the 45th Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2021.

The story begins with Japan’s elimination from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which prompts the Japanese Football Union to start a program scouting high school players who will begin training in preparation for the 2022 Cup.

Isagi Youichi, a forward, receives an invitation to this program soon after his team loses the chance to go to Nationals because he passed to his less-skilled teammate.

Their coach will be Ego Jinpachi, who intends to “destroy Japanese loser football” by introducing a radical new training regimen: isolate 300 young strikers in a prison-like institution called “Blue Lock”.

About Prison School

The Prison School manga by Akira Hiramoto was released in the Weekly Young Magazine from 2011 to 2017. It also has an anime adaptation by J. C. Staff.

Hachimitsu Academy, a strict women’s school has started enrolling boys. Only five boys have taken admission with dreams to have a personal harem, only for those dreams to be smashed on day one.

Little did they know that their peeping would be punished with actual imprisonment. The manga covers the comic and perverted account of the boys trying to break free.
