Blue Lock Chapter 301 release date and time: When and where to read the popular Japanese sports manga online?
Blue Lock Chapter 301 release date and time: After a short break following the release of Chapter 300, Blue Lock is returning with a brand-new chapter. The creators had previously announced a brief hiatus due to the magazine's Golden Week, but now the release date for the next instalment is officially out. If you've been eagerly waiting to see what's next, keep reading to find out when and where you can read the upcoming chapter.
What is the story of Blue Lock?
Blue Lock, a Japanese shōnen sports manga, has been created by writer Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrator Yusuke Nomura. The story kicks off right after Japan's frustrating elimination from the 2018 FIFA World Cup. In response, the Japanese Football Union decides it's time to shake things up with the launch of the Blue Lock project, a radical program designed to find and develop the ultimate striker, someone who can lead Japan to victory in the 2022 World Cup.
At the center of it all is Isagi Yoichi, a high school forward who gets selected to join the program after a critical moment during a game—he passed the ball to a teammate instead of taking the shot himself, and it cost them a shot at Nationals. That hesitation sticks with him. Now, inside a high-intensity training facility run by the ruthless and eccentric Coach Ego Jinpachi, Isagi joins 299 other skilled forwards to lead Japan to glory.
Blue Lock chapter 300 recap: Nagi's quiet exit leaves fans heartbroken
In chapter 300 of Blue Lock, Seishiro Nagi is officially disqualified after finishing 24th in the Neo Egoist League. He needed to be in the top 23 to move forward. Even though Reo Mikage and Yoichi Isagi try to speak up for him, Coach Ego refuses to change his decision. He believes Nagi has lost his drive, and Nagi agrees.
Nagi tells Reo that Ego was right. After beating Isagi, he felt satisfied and lost his motivation. He admits that he only cared about Reo and apologizes for depending on him too much. Reo tells Nagi not to say sorry and that he appreciated their time together.
As Nagi walks toward the exit, Isagi calls out to him and tells him not to give up on soccer. Nagi doesn't say anything, but a small look in his eyes suggests that Isagi's words may have reached him.

Inter Milan strike late to beat Urawa Reds at Club World Cup
SEATTLE: Valentin Carboni struck the winning goal in stoppage time as Inter Milan came from behind to beat Urawa Red Diamonds 2-1 on Saturday and knock the Japanese team out of the Club World Cup. Ryoma Watanabe got an early opening goal for Urawa Reds, who were backed by a noisy contingent of their supporters at Lumen Field in Seattle. But captain Lautaro Martinez had got Inter's equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Monterrey of Mexico in their first match at the tournament, and he repeated the trick to level matters here with 12 minutes to go. Carboni, the 20-year-old Argentine who had not made an appearance for Inter in more than two years, then appeared in the 92nd minute to give the Italians the victory. "Our opponents play with their hearts and to counter that as a team we need to play with more pride, be humble and know how to suffer," Martinez told broadcaster DAZN after Inter were made to work for the victory. The result leaves Cristian Chivu's team in a good position to now go and qualify for the last 16, while a second defeat in as many matches means Urawa Reds are eliminated. "Our emotion is very bad after this game. We are out of the tournament so now we can only fight in the last game to achieve our one and only win," said their Polish coach Maciej Skorza.

Anupam Kher breaks down the ‘richness' of Kashmiri cuisine
Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Metro... In Dino', is lavishing praise on the cuisine of his homeland, Kashmir. The actor recently spoke with IANS in the run-up to the film's release, and recollected the time when he introduced actor Vinay Pathak to the Kashmiri cuisine during the shooting of 'Khosla Ka Ghosla', an earlier story which was published by IANS. Walking down the memory lane, Anupam shared how it all happened. He told IANS, 'I introduced Vinay to Kashmiri food, and he said, 'Kashmiri food is like this?' I said, 'Yes'. I introduced the cuisine to him, and I was very happy. Because he thought it must be something else. I read a lot about it recently that Vinay Pathak spoke about the incident. It was just somebody introducing me to Japanese food, a long time back'. He further mentioned, 'The richness of Kashmiri food is that there is no tomato, no onion and no garlic in it. And yet it is the tastiest cuisine. But that way India is a very rich country in terms of food. After every 500 km, you get new food. Gujarati, Marathi and different kinds of thaalis'. Earlier, Vinay had told IANS, 'I remember, Anupam introduced me to Kashmiri food for the first time. I am a vegetarian, so I thought, Kashmiri food is not for me. He told me, 'You're in for a treat. We will take you to a place'. And, he introduced me to a place in Delhi for Kashmiri cuisine. And, I fell in love with Kashmiri cuisine. We used to leave the game to give our shots. Sometimes we would play 20 questions. Anupam taught us 3-4 new games'. Presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series presents, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd., 'Metro In Dino' is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu. The film is set to arrive in cinemas on July 4, 2025.

Ju Haknyeon claims someone ‘fabricated reason' behind THE BOYZ exit; reveals full timeline of AV actress scandal from his side
Trigger Warning: This article contains mention of prostitution and adult content. Former THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon has publicly broken his silence once again. He explained his version of events following reports linking him to former Japanese adult actress Asuka Kirara and controversial claims of prostitution. He uploaded a detailed Instagram post on June 22, 2025. He describes the scandal as a premeditated campaign to push him out of his group. The controversy surrounding Ju Haknyeon began when reports of him meeting Asuka Kirara surfaced online. Their meeting was initially chalked up to a private social encounter. However, rumors quickly escalated after a report alleged that he had engaged in prostitution. It shocked fans and led to a whirlwind of online speculation and public scrutiny. Now, Ju Haknyeon is telling his side of the story and it's far more complex than the initial reports suggest. Ju Haknyeon denies solicitation In his statement, Ju Haknyeon made it clear that he was not blindsided by the situation. Long before any media reached out to his agency, he claims he was already aware that someone had taken compromising photos of him with Asuka Kirara. He immediately informed his management about the matter, explained the context honestly, and asked for guidance on how to proceed. While he did not deny meeting the actress, he strongly refuted all accusations of prostitution. According to him, he accepted responsibility for his personal decisions and expressed genuine remorse for potentially harming the group's image. His priority at the time, he says, was to ensure that the incident caused as little damage as possible to his bandmates and their fans. Despite this, what followed next shocked him. Alleged sudden contract termination Ju Haknyeon revealed that not long after he informed the company about the situation, the agency sent him a termination agreement. It was accompanied by a demand for over 2 billion KRW in penalties. He claims the amount far exceeded anything legally enforceable under his contract. He wrote, 'They stated there was no room for negotiation.' When he refused to sign the document on June 17, things escalated quickly. The very next day, his agency abruptly issued a public statement announcing his departure from THE BOYZ. It was before any official article or tabloid report had been released. To Ju Haknyeon, the timing felt too suspicious to ignore. Within hours of the agency's announcement, articles linking him to a former AV actress began to surface. This was immediately followed by the shocking report, which accused him of soliciting prostitution. 'Based on that report, I was instantly branded a s*x offender by other media, bloggers, and YouTubers,' he stated. Police report based on unverified claims Adding fuel to the fire, Ju Haknyeon revealed that someone filed an official police report against him the very next day. 'The speed and sequence of these events felt too coordinated. It was as if someone was fabricating a reason for my contract termination,' he pointed out. He expressed concern that if he had remained silent, he would have been forever branded a criminal, despite never having committed the act he was accused of. The emotional toll, he said, was immense; not just for him, but for his family, mother, fans, and everyone close to him. Plans to fight back Determined to clear his name, Ju Haknyeon announced that he has already filed a criminal complaint against the journalist who wrote the article. He is also preparing to take civil legal action against the media outlet. Additionally, he plans to sue the individual who reported him to the police for false accusation. He also pointed to specific issues in his contract with the agency. According to him, the clause cited to justify his termination, 'acts that damage reputation,' is too ambiguous and open to interpretation. The original contract, he explained, clearly defines punishable misconduct such as DUI, dr*g use, gambling, assault, prostitution, and other crimes. None of which, he emphasizes, apply to him. Furthermore, he accused the agency of failing to follow the proper termination procedure outlined in Article 15, Paragraph 1 of the agreement. Rather than engage in discussion or due process, he claims they opted for unilateral removal and public shaming.
