While football manga are becoming increasingly numerous on the market, one classic is holding out: Captain Tsubasa. Known in our country as Olive and Tom, this iconic manga now has the opportunity to reach a new audience because it is currently available for free and legally. But be careful, you'll have to act quickly.
Olive and Tom: the animes of our childhood that have been popular in recent years
Every year, new manga cross our borders. However, the great works of the 1970s and 1980s remain as popular today. Dragon Ball, for example, continues its merry way with new series like Super or, more recently, DAIMA. Nevertheless, these animes often return in the form of remakes.
Netflix reigns supreme in this field. We can cite their collaboration with studios like Science SARU and MAPPA, notably for the revival of Devilman Crybaby and Ranma 1/2. Regarding the latter studio, we can also note the upcoming release on the platform of the film Lady Oscar, an animated feature that we are eagerly awaiting. However, it is just as important to discover the original material of these new adaptations, and this will be possible with Captain Tsubasa. in 1981. For those who don't know it, it tells the story of Tsubasa Ozora, a young boy whose dream is to win the World Cup for Japan. The manga is extremely well known for its anime adaptation, especially in our countries. The problem is that this adaptation only covers the first 25 volumes of the manga. To find out what happens next, you either have to turn to the David Production remake or switch to paper format. You're in luck, because you can do so, and without spending a cent. Until April 12, Captain Tsubasa is available for free and in its entirety on Manga Plus.
Although it's in English and Spanish, it's an excellent initiative and an opportunity not to be missed because Captain Tsubasa is a legendary work. It's a bit like the father of current football manga. It perfectly combines the realism of Ao Ashi and the madness of Blue Lock, without having anything to envy them. The other strong point of Captain Tsubasa is its longevity. The manga doesn't stop at the original 37 volumes. The series that followed showed the evolution of the characters in clubs that football fans know very well. This is particularly satisfying, especially considering that most manga of this genre end in middle or high school. Moreover, even though the mangaka retired last year, the manga is still ongoing! With the original manga now available online for free, it's the perfect time to dive into this cult series, catch up with it, or rediscover it in another form.
