- A sports newbie forms camaraderie with fierce players of the Deimon Devil Bats football team
Description
Timid, diminutive, and frequently the target of bullies, Sena Kobayakawa has just enrolled at Deimon Private High School. When he angers a group of delinquents by refusing to act as their errand boy, he makes an incredibly speedy getaway, an ability he has developed through years of running from his tormentors.
Youichi Hiruma—the demonic captain of the Deimon Devil Bats football team—happens to be nearby, and seeing Sena's "golden legs" at work, forcibly recruits him as a running back despite Sena's desire to be team manager instead. Made to don the number 21 jersey and a special helmet to hide his identity as a player, Sena becomes "Eyeshield 21," the team's closely guarded secret weapon. Soon he realizes his love for the sport, and aims to help the Devil Bats reach the Christmas Bowl, the high school football championship.

Yusuke Murata
You may know Yusuke Murata as the amazing illustrator of Eyeshield 21, One Punch Man, and more. But did you know that he won a contest twice to design Mega Man's villains at the age of 12? Because of this, he is credited for creating the look of Dust Man and Crystal Man in Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 5 respectively. His artistic career didn't stop there, however. In 1995, he debuted in being a professional manga artist by publishing a one-shot entitled, Partner which received the Hop Step Award. Since then, he illustrated many manga series such as Hetappi Manga Kenkyūjo R, Maijin Bone, Donten Prism Solar Car, and more. His popular and latest work was back in 2016 when he illustrated the Japanese Edition cover of the Spider-Verse.
