"Listen here... during the game, you will not be Kobayakawa Sena. Instead, you will be known as Eyeshield 21." - Hiruma Youichi
boy and story
Kobayakawa Sena is not the coolest kid in school. And really, never has been. In fact, he's willing to be everybody's errand boy (need anything done?) and has grown so accustomed to it that it's second nature. Thankfully, his days of being a go-fer in grade school are over and it's on to a new, dynamic high school life!
Or maybe not.
Upon finally getting into Deimon High School, Sena's super pumped to become popular, land tons of friends' phone numbers in his new cellphone, and, rather importantly, NOT need the motherly attention of his now-senpai and childhood friend, Anezaki Mamori. (It's pretty embarassing to always have to be protected by a girl, you know.) His first day is going great! ...until he catches the attention of three punks, who turn him right back into being an errand boy. And when Sena finally decides that enough is enough with them, he shows his hidden virtue-
speed - which in turn catches the attention of Hiruma Youichi, blackmailer extraordinaire, most feared student at Deimon High, and -oh yes- captain of Deimon's American Football team.
"Although I was always running away... I thought I wanted to win in such a scary sport as football." - Kobayakawa Sena
Now forcibly recruited onto the Deimon Devilbats as their secret runningback,
Eyeshield 21, Sena's about to learn that AmeFuto is a completely different world from anything he's ever experienced. Speed. Strength. Motivation. Training. Running halfway across America. Competing with Japan's most elite high school teams. What does it take to become one of the world's best? Little errand-boy Sena is gonna grow up and just might find out for himself.
