It's pretty much a given that manga creators never get enough sleep time, especially those with a weekly serialization show. This fact was reaffirmed once again earlier today when Blue Lock manga illustrator Yuusuke Nomura shared a screenshot of his iPhone's health app, specifically of his sleep patterns (or rather the lack of it). ) taken through your Apple Watch.
アップルウォッチ付けてから睡眠ログ取れるようになって見てるけど、毎日就寝時間バラバラ過ぎる…

“I have been watching the sleep tracker app since I started using my Apple Watch, but my bedtime is too irregular every day. Fortunately I can have a restful and deep sleep on Saturdays, after finishing a chapter, "he wrote on Twitter.
As seen in the screenshot, Nomura sleeps an average of 4 hours and 10 minutes during the week, and an average of 8 hours (considered "extreme" in the post) on Saturdays each time a new chapter of Blue Lock ends.
On the other hand, Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yuusuke Nomura have published the manga in Kodansha publisher's Weekly Shonen Magazine since August 2018. The publisher published the tenth compiled volume on August 17.
Blue Lock Synopsis
The story begins with the elimination of the Japan National Team from the 2018 FIFA Soccer World Cup, prompting the Japan Soccer Union to initiate a training program to prepare a team of high school students who will participate in the 2022 World Cup. Isagi Yoichi, a forward, receives an invitation to join this program shortly after his team misses an opportunity to participate in Nationals, due to passing the ball to his less skillful teammate, who obviously he missed the shot, denoting Isagi's cowardice by not daring to finish the play by himself.
His coach will be Ego Jinpachi, who intends to put an end to the idea of “weak Japan in soccer” by applying a radical new training regimen: isolate 300 young strikers in a prison-like institution called “Blue Lock”, and subdue them to rigorous training that will create "the greatest, most talented and selfish striker in the world."
