Where to read Blue Lock chapter 254?

Blue Lock Chapter 254 will be available to read on Kodansha's K Manga service. While one can access the service either through its website or mobile application, it is exclusively available only to the United States. In addition, Kodansha hasn't made any announcement about the platform's availability in other regions.

That said, fans in the US should remember that the manga reading platform isn't an entirely free service. It uses a point-based chapter purchase system. To read the latest chapters, one has to purchase a manga chapter through points that must be added to one's wallet.

Up until now, the manga has made its first 45 chapters free to read. Additionally, Chapters 46-106 are also free to read, but one will need to use title tickets to access them.

Blue Lock chapter 253 recap

Blue Lock chapter 253, titled Den of Demons, saw Shidou and Charles celebrating their goal. While both credited each other, they soon realized that neither expected the other person to do what they did. Hence, they deduced that their ideal performances happened to synchronize with each other.

The manga then saw Isagi and Hiori analyze how to achieve a similar state. That's when Noel Noa asked them to recreate it, challenging them to create an ultimate attack that surpasses their goal from the previous match. However, given that Charles and Shidou's combo was a threat, Noa asked Kunigami to take away Shidou's freedom and switched positions. After thinking back to his history with Shidou, Kunigami complied and teamed up with Isagi and Hiori.

What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 254? (speculative)

Blue Lock chapter 254 will most likely see Kunigami Rensuke try and mark Ryusei Shidou from the kickoff itself. Such a development is bound to help Shidou remember what he did to Kunigami. With that, the manga might establish a rivalry in the match.

In addition, the manga chapter will most likely see Michael Kaiser, Alexis Ness, and Benedict Grim start their new attack from kickoff. With that, fans can expect Kaiser to display his world-class skill as a New Generation World XI player.
