Don't get me wrong, I love a good by-the-book sports manga. But variety is the spice of life, so here are some sports manga that don't fit the mold.
The mold:
1. Fully male team/almost entirely male cast
2. School sports team
3. Teen athletes
So if it doesn't fit all of those criteria, it fits this list!
