An audio drama adaptation, with scripts written by Mamoru Sasaki and starring Kinya Aikawa, was released by NHK FM Broadcast. It ran for six episodes from August 14–19, 1977.[14]

Reception

[edit]

In 1978, the series won the 2nd Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen manga category.[15]

Mike Toole of Anime News Network felt that the story was not as melodramatic as Ikki Kajiwara's Ashita e Free Kick, but that it was well researched and had good artwork. He concluded that "Football Hawk would be the most successful stab at [American football]'s depiction in manga for quite some time".[1]
