Hello, just looking for something that has good developed characters and plot, would be nice if it revolves around a sport.

Prefer manga but it doesn't really matter. :p

Bonus if the mc's kinda shy like Yamato, but proves himself later on. And the heroine's kinda like tsundere and cold to the mc like Asahina.

Here's my lists and thanks ahead of time :)

It's not necessarily sport, but has the same concept of Suzuka (this is a favorite of mine as well haha). It's a Manwha which if you don't know is a korean manga which read from left to right and follows the japanese style of speech bubbles right to left. It's called "Skill of Lure" and our MC is absolutely pathetic however develops intensely over the series along with every character you meet. It's a decent read at over 36 chapters and a must read since it's a hilarious and very informative with social interactions with people. Try it (:

Well, if you loves Cross Game, some of the author's other works might be a good place to start. My personal favorite outside of Cross Game is probably Katsu!
I also liked the Characterization in Ao Haru Ride.

Doesn't need to revolve around sports.

Tbh I only care if the mc kinda resembles Yamato in the sense that he's shy, but as the show/manga went on he proves himself more and more. And a tsundere like Aoba/Asahina would be great!

Thanks, I'll try Fuuka again though I heard about what happens. :p

And Kimi no Iru Machi's on my watching list for anime :p Not sure if I'd want to pick up the manga for it.

Anymore more rec's are appreciated.

if you like Suzuka, you'd most likely like other hit manga by Seo Kouji, its author
Kimi no Iru Machi, Half & Half, and Fuuka

Baby Steps was good, and it's what I'm looking for but I don't recall it having decisive romance :/

I've seen the first three, Aku no Hana and Onanie being practically exactly what I'm looking for :p I just don't know many other like this, other than like MM, Molester Man, and ZnT.

Could give Major a shot, it's a baseball anime like Cross Game except that it's 6 seasons long. It start's off with the MC as a child that plays Baseball which then progresses into his middle school/high school baseball career and then onto his major league career.

The romance with the main heroine only starts in the 5th season but it's still a pretty enjoyable anime.

Liar Game is not exactly romance (the romance part was hinted though), but it got really good character development

That's what I didn't really like about Cross Game, such a great plot with great characters, yet no decisive romance :/

It's true that the romance is not the primary focus of the show, but it is more decisive than in most series. How many times do I see people complain because there's no confession or no kiss in a particular anime. Well there is in Baby Steps, and it is quite well done. Have you seen the second season ?

Hmmm.....try these non sports manga, not sure if its what your after but I tried getting ones with good plot and where characters learn as the story progresses

3x3 Eyes
Suicide Island (Romance is real subtle though)
ReLife
Kingdom (Anime ain't got shit on it, romance is pretty much non existent but there are hints)
Kono S wo, Mi yo! - Cupid no Itazura (this is much more than what it seems to be)
Can't See But Hear Love
Holyland (Romance is subtle but its there)
GE: Good Ending
RiN (Subtle Romance but its there)
Gantz (Characters grow, especially the MC)
Psyren (Subtle Romance)

I think a few of those are off the mark lol

Don't watch that anime adaptation it is terrible, they skip the first 100 chapters of the manga and they didn't adapt the last 100. You are gonna be so lost watching it. The manga is really good especially if you liked suzuka.

Yeah, I'm going to move it to my on hold list sooner or later. The anime really does just throw you in the middle of the story with no clear explanation as to what's going on lol but it was still somewhat enjoyable. And I'll read a bit of the manga and see how that goes, thank you.
