Content platform corporations Ridibooks will hold a sports-themed special promotion for the North and Central America World Cup.
Ridibooks said on the 12th that it will introduce soccer comics so fans can experience the fun of soccer in various ways and will run a special promotion offering a wide range of works in the sports genre.
In this promotion, the soccer comic "Blue Lock" is featured as the flagship title. Blue Lock depicts a project that locks 300 male high school students playing the striker position in one place to select the final one, and it has expanded into an anime, a theatrical feature, and spin-offs, becoming one of the representative sports intellectual properties (IP) with a global fandom.
The comic "Aoashi," which centers on youth soccer, and "Days (DAYS)," which portrays an ordinary high school student growing through soccer, are also among the recommended titles.
Ridibooks will run the promotion "Sports comics are essential in life," where readers can find a variety of sports comics including the recommended titles, for one month starting on the 12th. During the event, customers who purchase eligible titles will receive points based on the amount paid.
A Ridibooks official said, "We prepared a variety of works so soccer fans can continue the fun and emotion of soccer even outside the stadium."
