Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Blue Lock Chapter 247. The manga has been on a break, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I am particularly interested in seeing how the new auction rankings will affect the characters and their teams. I am also curious to learn more about Julian Loki's plan to use Rin and Shido against Bastard Munchen.
I think Blue Lock is a great manga because it is well-written and has interesting characters. I also appreciate the fact that it is not afraid to take risks and explore new ideas. I am confident that Chapter 247 will be another great addition to the series. I can't wait to read it!
