A really interesting golf manga from the creator of Kuroko no Basket! I’m not a fan of golf but like Kuroko no Basket, they find a way to make it incredibly entertaining even if you know nothing about the sport. It’s got a great cast of characters and the art is beautiful, definitely give this one a go.

Hinomaruzumou is a fantastic manga about sumo wrestling that has a phenomenal respect for the sport. This series is handled with so much care that even someone like me who knows nothing about the sport, has gained a lot of respect for it. The art is great and it’s amazing to see the impact of hits and the detail that goes into each movement and training. This is a beautiful piece of work and everything about this manga is great for me. This is a must watch for sports animanga fans.

This manga is popular in the anime community for a reason. It’s got a fun cast of well developed characters and the sport is handled so well that I know people who’ve gotten into playing volleyball because of it. This manga is a powerhouse and deserves all of the respect it gets. If you’re tired of waiting for the rest of the series to be animated, check out the manga.

This BL manga about two men who are professional dancers from slightly different genres, is fantastic. The movements in the dancing scene are drawn so well it feels real and the inside look into the lives of dancers is very interesting as well. The romance is put sort of on the back burner for the progress in their careers as dancers and you don’t even mind because everything is done so well and their flirty chemistry leaves you burning for more. This is a fantastic read for a sports manga about dancing, especially if don’t mind a romance involved. If you’re a fan of Yuri on Ice, you’ll definitely love this one.

By the same author of Robot x Laserbeam, this legendary sports manga is a really fun one. Although, it can be overtop in its portrayal of basketball, it's really cool. If you're an avid basketball fan this manga might seem crazy but it would still be appealing because of how interesting the games always look. It's not heavily realistic but that's part of the fun. It's an amazing manga that both non-fans and fans of the sport would love.

This manga about ballet dancing is rather interesting. It's very accurate in its portrayal of what dancing is like and you can tell it took an incredible amount of work and studying to create this. It's a wonderful love letter to the sport and even if you don't know a whole lot about it, it makes it easy to see how hard someone works to become a professional in ballet dancing. This is an amazing manga that deserves so much more attention than it has.

Ao Ashi is probably my favorite modern soccer manga. I'm not a huge fan of soccer, but while reading this I gained an immense respect for soccer players. Like basketball, it requires strategy, thought, perception and quite a lot of other skills to win a game. This manga is more realistic in its approach than blue lock and I think that it's incredible for it. It's a fun and amazing series with some really impressionable characters that you can't help rooting for.

Baki is the definition of absurd. It is definitely not realistic in the slightest and that's what makes it so fun. I think the reason why it's so amazing despite it being probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever laid eyes on is because it is passionate about every martial art that has ever existed. It's a creative and fun love letter to karate and boxing and judo and sumo and so many other different types that it's easy to lose track of them. The story is about Baki a teenager absorbing all of the martial arts that he can and using them to eventually defeat his father, the strongest creature on earth. The story is fascinating, absurd, and so fun that you'll lose track of time and before you know it you'll be reading every version of Baki you can. BAKI DESERVES YOUR TIME!!!

A basketball manga about an extremely skilled boy who just so happens to be short. This story is about him overcoming adversity and yet still managing to grow and be a better basketball player.
