The story begins with Japan's elimination from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, causing the Japan Football Union to launch a program to search for high school players who will begin training for the 2022 World Cup. Isagi Yoichi , a striker, receives an invitation to this program shortly after his team lost the chance to go to the nationals.
Their coach Ego Jinpachi , who aims to "end Japan's failed football" by introducing a radical new training regime: isolating 300 young strikers in a prison-like institution called "Blue Lock" and putting them through rigorous training with the goal of creating "the best striker in the world."
Authors Kaneshiro and Nomura launched the manga Weekly Shounen magazine in August 2018.
