“Blue Rock” Kiyoshi, Rin, and Nagi’s “waking up” look… ♪ Also the much-talked-about “severed neck hair tie”! Newly drawn goods available

Welcome back to the I Am Anime website

From the TV anime “Blue Rock”, original goods featuring newly drawn characters such as Kiyoichi Kiyoshi, Seishiro Nagi, and others with the theme of “morning preparations” are now available. Reservations for tin badges, acrylic stands, etc. are now being accepted on the mail order site “FAN+Life”.

The original work of “Blue Rock” is a soccer manga that won the 45th Kodansha Manga Award in the boys category and has sold over 40 million copies worldwide (as of July 2024). The story is written by Muneyuki Kinjo, the illustrations are by Yusuke Nomura, and it is being serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine.
The “Blue Rock (Blue Prison)” project was launched by the Japan Football Union to develop strikers who can lead Japan to the World Cup championship. All of the 300 high school students gathered there were in charge of forwards. The story depicts them trying to survive in order to become the world’s best striker.

The TV anime will be broadcast in two consecutive seasons from October 2022, and “Blue Rock the Movie -EPIOSODE Nagi-” will also be released in April 2024. The second season of the TV anime was broadcast from October 5th with a total of 14 episodes.

From this work, newly drawn illustrations of Kiyoichi, Rin Itoshi, Seishiro Nagi, Kageta Otoya, Tabito Karasu, and Hiori Hyouori have appeared. The theme is “getting ready in the morning,” and the expressions on her face from the time she wakes up until she goes out in the morning are adorable.

It is part of the “Wake Up & Get Ready” series, and standard goods such as “acrylic stands” using this illustration, “acrylic key chains,” “stickers,” and “acrylic blocks” will be released.

Next will be “acrylic magnets” and “mini art stands.” You definitely want to get your hands on a “life-sized tapestry” that will make you feel the presence of your favorite person when you display it in your room.

There are also interesting goods such as “Character hair ties” with just the “face” cut out.

There are also “name badges” and “ribbon keychains with charms” that can display the names of Blue Rock members on familiar items such as bags.

The trading lineup includes “tin badges,” “square tin badges,” “SNS-style acrylic cards,” “snap-style cards,” and “mini colored paper.”

Pre-orders are now being accepted for various new goods themed on “Morning Preparation” from the TV anime “Blue Rock” on the mail order site “FAN+Life”. Release is scheduled for late March 2025.
