The plot of Eyeshield 21 revolves around a weak and non-assertive boy named Sena Kobayakawa who enters the high school of his choice, Deimon Private Senior High School, where his childhood friend Mamori Anezaki attended school the year before. His only remarkable physical abilities are his running speed and intense agility, the result of a school life spent complying with the demands of bullies. His abilities quickly catch the eye of the high school's American football team captain Yoichi Hiruma, who forces Sena to join the Deimon Devil Bats as its running back.
A sports anime/manga revolving around Football. Before you say "omg football ew", you should really give this a chance. I sat down and watched it because of the recommendation from a friend, and I was hooked. Not only that, but I actually learned the basics of the game, positions, etc.
There are 145 episodes, and 333 Chapters. The anime stops mid-point of the story with 3 major games to spare, while the manga finishes those.
A colorful cast in every team, and of course, Hiruma. You can find episodes of this on Crunchyroll. I recommend it for anyone who's interested in the sport, if anything.
