Title: Eyeshield 21
Author: Inagaki Riichirou
Artist: Murata Yusuke
This manga is about a boy, Sena, who has lightning fast feet and thus got dragged into the American Football team by the most fearsome guy in the school, Hiruma.
Hiruma resorts to ammunition and blackmail to get his way, and frankly, he looks like a devil just as the school's team name, Devil Bats, suggest...
The American Football team that originally only consists of 2 people, Hiruma and a superb overweight guy called Kurita, grows a lot as more people join the team (courtesy of Hiruma's crude methods).
Sena's identity is hidden on the field, as Hiruma has come to a conclusion that if his identity were to be revealed, all the sports club would be desperate for a piece of him.
So on the field, Sena is known as Eyeshield 21 because of the eyeshield of his helmet (permission granted due to a forged letter by Hiruma) and his jersey number, 21.
This series is about how he, a small person overcomes his adversities in a hilarious coming of age comedy while trying to stay alive with Hiruma's fire power ready to be used and not getting his identity revealed.
