Putting this manga series up on a “best of” list might seem premature since only one volume has been released in the English translation. Run on Your New Legs – Wataru Midori Run On Your New Legs Eyeshield 21 - Riichiro Inagaki & Yusuke Murataġ5. Blue Lock – Muneyuki Kaneshiro & Yusuke Nomura The Climber - Shin-ichi Sakamoto & Yoshirō Nabeda Still, these rankings are opinion-based only and obviously will vary for any manga lover. Other vital sports manga are honorably mentioned in their respective categories. This list will stand apart from others because it lists 15 manga about 15 different sports, so these are arguably the best sports manga about the specified sports.
Nevertheless, there are a few incredible sports manga here that intermingle genres to draw in both younger and more mature audiences. A good amount of shonen/shounen (a term for manga marketed at teen boys) titles makes the list, as well as a few seinen (a term for manga marketed at youths) manga series. This list of the best sports manga includes stories about the underdogs, the champions, and the psychological toll of sports careers. Yet, by choosing to read sports manga based solely on personal interest in the main sport, readers are missing out on an innumerable amount of influential and electrifying stories.
Sure, we’re initially inclined to pick up a series with basketball players on the cover before a manga about a sport we’re less familiar with. In these series, sports are often pertinent to the story’s central theme, but characterization alongside a progressively changing plotline are the vehicles for success in sports manga. Sports manga appeal to most manga readers, even those who have never played a sport in their lifetime.
