Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The shonen genre is characterized by jaw-dropping action, unbelievably tense fight scenes, and most importantly, teamwork between comrades. However, there is one modern-day shonen series that does not fit into this framework, and that is Blue Lock, created by Muneyuki Kaneshiro.
