If you’ve already watched all the anime episodes of Haikyuu, seen the Battle of the Garbage Dump movie and read all the manga chapters so many times that you can visualize any page in detail, it’s time to try something else.
And these 5 manga might be a great choice.
Ao Ashi
Some fans call it the best sports manga currently airing, and they have a point, it does indeed have great characters and exciting soccer matches.
Despite Ashito’s outstanding soccer skills, capable of ensuring his team’s victory, he gets removed from the team due to his short temper. But this is not how his story ends. A coach named Tatsuya Fukuda sees great potential in Ashito and invites him to join his team.
Ahiru no Sora
This series handles character development exceptionally well. It takes its time to build the relationship between each character and their sport, basketball, and shows their journey to becoming great players.
Sora Kurumatani has been interested in basketball his entire life. Although he’s short and weak, he has great passion and determination. And nothing can stop him on his way to success, not even a new school full of delinquents.
Tsubame Tip Off!
If you’d also like to read something refreshing like a manga about a girls’ basketball team, this one might be good for you.
Tsubame Haruno is awfully tall. And while it can be a major advantage for a basketball player, she considers it a complete nightmare. There’s nothing she wants more than to fit in with her peers.
On top of that, her height seems to be the only interesting thing about her basketball-wise, since her skills leave much to be desired. But sometimes all you need is just one person to believe in you to keep fighting.
Hajime no Ippo
This manga is so long that it might as well be the sports One Piece of manga. But if that doesn’t scare you off, give it a try.
Ippo’s life hasn’t been easy, which makes him an easy target for bullies. When a boxer named Mamoru Takamura saves the boy from being beaten up, Ippo enters the world of sports and discovers the Kamogawa Boxing Gym.
Ippo shows a talent for boxing, but Mamoru is still doubting his determination. That’s why he gives the boy a seemingly impossible task. The results might surprise you.
Welcome to the Ballroom (Ballroom e Youkoso)
Dancing is also a sport, you know? And if this is a sport that might interest you, try out this manga series.
Tatara Fujita is an ordinary school student with no hopes or dreams about the future. While escaping from the bullies, he stumbles upon a dance studio. And who would’ve thought that this would change his life? Captivated by the beauty of dancing and the man who saved him, Tatara decides to give it a try.
Something to read after the new movie.
