Man, I just finished binge-reading the latest 'Blue Lock' volumes, and Vol 17 had me on the edge of my seat! From what I’ve gathered, it’s not the final volume—there’s still so much unresolved tension, especially with Isagi’s rivalry with Rin and the looming World Cup arc. The author, Muneyuki Kaneshiro, has dropped hints in interviews about expanding the story further, and the manga’s popularity makes an abrupt ending unlikely.
That said, Vol 17 does feel like a turning point—the stakes are higher, and the art by Yusuke Nomura is sharper than ever. If you’re worried about closure, don’t sweat it; this feels more like the calm before the storm. I’d bet we’re getting at least 5 more volumes, especially with how the anime’s hype is fueling the manga’s momentum. Personally, I can’t wait to see where the ego-fueled chaos goes next!
