As the 2026 FIFA North America World Cup kicks off, excitement for soccer is on the rise, prompting the content platform Ridi to launch a sports manga exhibition.
Starting June 12 and running for a month, Ridi's exhibition titled "Sports Manga is Essential in Life" will showcase various sports-themed works, including soccer. The initiative aims to bring the joy and emotion of sports to fans even outside the stadium.
Among the featured works is "Blue Lock," a manga that follows 300 high school students competing for the coveted striker position. With its intense competition and unique characters, it offers a distinct appeal compared to traditional sports manga and has garnered a global fanbase through its anime adaptation, film, and spin-offs.
"Ao Ashi" focuses on youth soccer, realistically portraying team tactics and game management. The story enhances readers' understanding of soccer while depicting players' growth, earning positive reviews.
"DAYS" tells the story of an ordinary high school student, Tsukushi, who grows through soccer, emphasizing hard work and passion over innate talent.
During the exhibition, customers who purchase the featured works will receive Ridi points based on their spending, along with various other benefits.
More details about the exhibition can be found on the Ridi website and mobile app.
