Last minute delay for Captain Tsubasa volume two Champions

Published on June 18, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The wait for the second volume of the comic Captain Tsubasa: Champions has been extended by a few days. A printing issue has forced a delay in its arrival at stores, which is now scheduled for July 9th. The price remains around €10.50, a figure similar to that of the first volume. Fans of Oliver and Benji will have to wait a little longer to follow the adventures of their favorite characters on the playing field.

The delay is due to a technical problem in the printing process. Although no specific details have been given, this type of incident is usually related to paper quality or ink alignment in large print runs. For the publisher, adjusting these parameters is key to avoiding visual errors in action panels. The new date, July 9th, allows the defect to be corrected without altering the final cost of the product, which remains accessible to the general public.

Oliver and Benji: the match is postponed ⏳

So, friends of the playing field gang, it's time to wait a little longer. But don't worry: the extra cost of patience is zero euros. While the printers correct the technical score, we can take the opportunity to practice impossible shots in the living room or debate whether the goalkeeper of the moment deserves a raise. After all, a week's delay is nothing compared to the stoppage times that matches lasted in the original series.
