Eyeshield 21 (Japanese: アイシールド21 Hepburn: Aishīrudo Nijūichi) is a Japanese manga series written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Yusuke Murata. The series tells the story of Sena Kobayakawa, a introverted boy who joins an American football club as secretary, but after being coerced by Hiruma, turns out to play wearing an eyeshield and the number 21, under the pseudonym of "Eyeshield 21". Inagaki chose American football as a central theme for Eyeshield 21 after realizing that it fit perfectly with his idea for the series.
The manga was originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from July 2002 to June 2009. The series consists of 333 chapters collected in 37 tankōbon volumes. In North America, the manga was released by Viz Media from April 2005 to October 2011. An anime adaptation consisting of 145 television episodes was directed by Masayoshi Nishida and Shin Katagai, and co-produced by TV Tokyo, NAS, and Gallop. The television series first aired on Japan's TV Tokyo network from April 6, 2005 to March 19, 2008. It was later licensed in North America by Toonami Jetstream as a joint effort with NFL Rush and aired on December 17, 2007, but no more episodes was dubbed because the Toonami Jetstream video-streaming service shut down. The anime series was streamed in English by Crunchyroll. The Eyeshield 21 franchise has spawned two original video animations (OVAs), audio albums, video games, and other merchandise.
In Japan, the Eyeshield 21 manga has sold over 20 million volumes as of June 2009. The manga and anime have been featured at various times in the Top Ten lists of their respective media. The anime has been watched by a large number of television viewers in Japan. Publications for manga, anime and others have commented on Eyeshield 21 manga, which received positive comments for its artwork and characters, and negative responses about the non-football scenes.

Plot [edit]
The plot of Eyeshield 21 revolves around a weak, unassertive boy named Sena Kobayakawa who enters the high school of his choice—Deimon Private Senior High School. Sena's only remarkable physical abilities are his running speed and agility, which is noted by the school's American football team captain Yoichi Hiruma who forces him to join the Deimon Devil Bats as its running back. To protect his identity from other teams who want to recruit him, Sena is forced to publicly assume the role of team secretary and enter the field under the pseudonym of "Eyeshield 21", wearing a helmet with an eyeshield to hide his features. The makeshift team initially takes part in the spring football tournament hoping to win through the strength of their new "secret weapon". However, the extremely team is eliminated early by the Ojo White Knights, one of best football teams in Japan.
After Deimon's defeat, the spring tournament is revealed as secondary in importance to the fall tournament, where the teams compete for the chance to play in the Christmas Bowl—the high school football league championship. Hiruma, Ryokan Kurita, and Sena regroup and slowly build a real team from misfits and students looking to define themselves, such as Tarō "Monta" Raimon—a baseball player who can only catch, and the Ha-Ha Brothers. Other characters slowly join the team, and the series follows the building and growth of the Deimon Devil Bats and its members, and rival teams as they all strive to achieve their goal of playing in the Christmas Bowl.
Following the Christmas Bowl, Japan begins to gather the best football players to form a team to represent it at the American Football Youth World Championship, where a Most Valuable Player (MVP) will be rewarded an NFL contract and $3 million. Team Japan reaches the final against Team America, in which the game end as a tie, and both teams are declared winners. Both teams are unsatisfied with this and return to the field for their own, improvised "overtime," causing chaos with officials. It is unclear which teams win the unofficial extra period but Panther of Team America holds the MVP trophy aloft, winning the professional contract with the San Antonio Armadillos. The series concludes with Sena becoming the captain of the Devil Bats after Hiruma and Kurita leave school to attend college. In his final year of high school, Clifford invites Sena to Notre Dame High School. In the final chapter, the main characters are in college or playing amateur-league football while employed.
Production [edit]
Before the series was published regularly in the publication Weekly Shōnen Jump, Inagaki and Murata published two one-shots called Eyeshield Part 1 (前編 Zenpen) and Part 2 (後編 Kōhen) for 14th and 15th issues of the magazine.[1] Despite having never played American football, Inagaki chose this theme after deciding that he wanted to create "a protagonist that was wimpy at the beginning, yet could perform outstandingly in a sports game", and with this premise in mind he decided that American football would be "a very suitable material."[2] When originally creating Eyeshield 21 Inagaki said he was wary because he did not want his manga becoming "a simulator of football".[3] Inagaki said that Eyeshield 21 is set in Tokyo, "but perhaps not in the center of the city—more in the suburbs." He added that this is "not very significant" and that aspects of the two creators' hometowns are reflected in the setting.[4]
During Eyeshield 21's original run in the Weekly Shōnen Jump, Inagaki went several times to the United States to see college football matches[5] and visit a space center to collect reference materials to use as a basis for creating the Nasa Aliens.[6] He also visited a military base as he needed to draw one when Hiruma's background is revealed,[7] and watched an NFL game where he noted that the players "passed an intimidating and powerful sensation", said that they "were facing dinosaurs", and created Rikiya Gao.[8]
Before being asked to work on Eyeshield 21, Yusuke Murata had read some of Inagaki's manga and noted that they, "had many cool design concepts of uniforms and equipment" and he said, "it could be turned into a great manga story", and he will "be happy to take the challenge"; eventually he was chosen.[2] While illustrated chapters, Murata made many mistakes and his pollen allergy used to hurt him because whenever he made a mistake he inhaled dust from his eraser.[9][10] To drawn the characters' sketches he used a mechanical pencil, which he considered special because it was given to him by Masanori Morita.[11]

Reception [edit]
Manga reception [edit]
As of 2009[update], Eyeshield 21 manga had sold more than 20 million copies in Japan;[71] individual volumes frequently appeared on the lists of best-selling manga there.[72][73][74] ICv2 has listed it as the top manga property in North America several times.[75][76] In 2011, the Japanese website Ameba conducted a "Top 10" online web poll of the "Best Shōnen Jump Manga of the 21st Century" and Eyeshield 21 was placed seventh,[77][78] although in another poll of the best Shonen Jump titles that the readers gave up to finish, Eyeshield 21 ranked 20th.[79] According to Deb Aoki of About.com, Eyeshield 21 was credited with doubling the number of Japanese teenagers playing American football.[80]
Critics have generally given the Eyeshield 21 manga positive reviews. Carlo Santos from Anime News Network rated it B+ overall and called it a "typical sports story", and wrote that "[w]hat really pushes this series above average are its well-defined cast of characters and strong artwork". He also wrote that "anyone who's ever found actual American football boring ... may change their minds after seeing the action sequences in Eyeshield 21."[81] In a review of Volume 37, Santos said, "[a] lot of familiar clichés show themselves ... " in Eyeshield 21, and that "[t]he storyline also does a sloppy job of keeping track of the game ... making it even less believable than it already is".[82] Deb Aoki from About.com wrote that tying with Bleach, Eyeshield 21 was the Best Continuing Shōnen Manga of 2007, and that it "has well-written characters, dynamic artwork, nail-biting cliffhangers, plus a winning mix of comedy, action and drama that make it a series that's worth picking up and sticking with".[83]
Jarred Pine from Mania Entertainment praised the humor, which he wrote, "ranges from outrageous slapstick to more subtle background gags, all of it very funny".[84] He also wrote that the creators can "bring out the energy and excitement of the game for the readers".[85] June Shimonishi reviewing Volume 16 for School Library Journal, writing that it "delivers a fresh and entertaining take on all the standard sports clichés". She also said, "[t]he superb art is similar to Akira Toriyama’s style ... with every inch filled with details and no gag left unseen".[86] Zac Bertschy from Anime News Network, reviewing the third graphic novel, called Eyeshield 21 "[a]n unexpected joy" which "defies convention" and turns what most might consider "a really ridiculously bad idea" into "something most everyone would be able to enjoy". Bertschy rated the story and artwork in the third graphic novel A.[87]
Anime reception [edit]
The anime adaptation was featured several times in Japanese television ranking,[88][89] with the first episode having a rating of 7.5.[90] In 2006, Japanese television network TV Asahi conducted a poll for the top hundred anime, and Eyeshield 21 was placed 47th.[91] Daniel Marks, Senior Vice President, Strategy & Business Development of Viz Media, said that the Eyeshield 21 series is "an action-packed drama with a positive message, teaching the importance of teamwork, overcoming obstacles and having goals".[92]
The anime adaptation of Eyeshield 21 received positive and mixed responses. In her review of the first DVD of the series, Erin Finnegan from Anime News Network stated, "[t]he pace of Eyeshield 21 is its saving grace. It's way less boring than all the time outs and commercial breaks in a regular NFL game. Football is hard to understand, but Eyeshield 21 explains the Byzantine rules ... in an entertaining way. We're never left waiting for the ref's decision for long minutes like in real life. A lot of dramatic tension carries the action between plays."[93] In her review of the second DVD of the series, Finnegan criticized the artwork, saying, " ... any episode [of the show] without a game is clearly farmed out to an inferior animation studio".[94] Chris Beveridge from Mania Entertainment gave the third DVD collection a rating of C- and wrote that Eyeshield 21, "has a good solid story idea, showing a young man finding his way through sports by finding friends and realizing he has potential, but it's so sidelined so often that it's frustrating to see it deal with situations as it does."[95]
