hahahahaha, this is one of the few manga that makes me laugh so hard. Funny story, great plot, hilarious character,etc, etc. And the weird part is.... I never liked any sports manga before.
Keep up the good work YA-HA......

Eyeshield is a childish manga. The characters could only exist in a comic book and it lacks authenticity.
But that's what makes a manga interesting. Even if the character are unrealistic, in their core they are very relatable. To some extent, everyone enjoys seeing the little guy become strong enough to stand up to the big guy, and that's exactly what Eyeshield 21 is.
Sure, the whole "chase your dreams! don't give up" routine has been done before, but with the beautiful artwork and compelling story telling, I assure you, not one part of the series will leave you dissatisfied.

While I liked this series up to the Christmas Bowl, it should have ended after that.. it is now dragging, and repeating the exact same thing as the early parts of the series, but with new people. Running at the speed of light, slowing down time with the runs, bypassing all "human limitations" that are only limitations until you meet a young black man who shrugs at the limits. ~_~
And, I don't mind unrealistic manga until it reaches PoT, Captain Tsubassa levels, which this one has. Strong enough to tear a car in half, and he is only 17, and then he gets beat down by another 17 year old guy with a beard, women on each arm, drinking expensive alchohol, and who wasn't even trying? It is insane, and the series should have ended on a higher note after the Christmas Bowl, and just shown a "Where are they now" chapter to finish it. If the NFL could have even the weakest member of this High School Football team, that guy would lead whatever team he was on into nothing but an undefeatable eternal championship team.
I quite expect the next Arc to be "High School Football Players.. In Space!" Will Sena run so fast that he turns time backwards, only to be beaten by Panther running backwards while sleeping? Will the two big guys use their pinky fingers, and destroy the invading Armada from the "Amerikan" universe, who is coming to spit on the Japaneese universe? Just wait and see, because we already have people who fly, create force fields... and.. dear Lord! We are reading Air Gear on a Football field!!!

To amishmies - now who is the stupid one? No 17 year old has a beard like that guy, and you would be ignorant to believe otherwise. http://www.onemanga.com/Eyeshield_21/315/18-19/ - You SERIOUSLY have EVER seen a 17 year old looking like that? Give me a break. I am not going to go back and find where they use the force fields, or they fly or anything to defend the obvious truth for you, dude. I pointed out him, not the other dozens with beards and stuff, which you seemed to blantantly ignore. I will say though, the "radius he can catch a ball" being in a 50x50 sqft. area around him, and nothing can pass or go near... that qualifies as a "force field" - ie: An inpenetrable bubble surrounding something.
Updated for amishmies - Put in spoiler, because (I assume a mod) put my entire comment in one. ah well. So my update is the second block.

i don't understand the point people try to make about this manga being unrealistic...
If this manga is realistic about high/middle school football level.. then this going to be so freaking super boring... end of story..
Edit: it getting a bit unrealistic.. even for a manga.. but the story is still awesome..

Eyeshield 21 is easily the best sports manga out there, without a doubt. First off, the characters. All of the characters in this series are so cleverly done! Even the opponents have depth, and you don't want to see them lose, either! Eyeshield is loaded with action, drama, suspense and hilarious comedy. You'll be hooked. Even if you hate football, don't let that stop you. I hated it too, before reading Eyeshield, but I love it, now!
Overall, a great story, fantastic characters, and a perfect blend of action and comedy makes Eyeshield 21 one of the best manga out there.

If there's one reason you should read this manga, it's because of Hiruma. He's one of the most evil, hilarious characters I've ever come across and the stuff he comes up with is sheer genius. The rest of the manga is also really entertaining but I what Hiruma does for E21 is like what Takamura does for HnI
this manga is the [edit by mod, watch your language please].
