"BLUE LOCK" Surpasses 60 Million Copies Worldwide! Special Illustration of Isagi Released and 24-Hour Free Access to All Chapters Implemented on "BLUE LOCK Day," June 9, 2026

It was announced by "BLUE LOCK" that its cumulative worldwide circulation has surpassed 60 million copies in conjunction with "BLUE LOCK Day" on June 9, 2026. Due to the Japanese wordplay where the numbers 26, 6, and 9 can be read as "BLUE LOCK" (26 for Bu-ru, 6 for ro, 9 for ku), this day is considered the "once-in-a-century BLUE LOCK Day."

To celebrate this monumental day and the milestone of surpassing 60 million copies, a special illustration of "Yoichi Isagi" by Yusuke Nomura, the illustrator of the original manga, has been released.

Furthermore, a 24-hour limited campaign offering free access to all chapters has started on various e-book stores.

To mark the start of this project, the "opening remarks" addressed to the fans from the original creators, Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura, have arrived.
