The Manga Taisho (マンガ大賞) is an annual Japanese manga award. The award is limited to series with eight or fewer collected volumes, in order to promote newer titles. The nominating committee, composed of staff members from bookstores, each initially vote for five series and the titles with the top ten number of votes become the official nominees of the year. Finally a second round of voting determines the winner, as well as second and third place.

Gathered some.

Series that are heavily overlooked on MAL (at the time of writing, under 2k members). Most, if not all of them are also underrated. Will likely add series in the future as I read them.

As the title suggests, this is a collection of sports manga series I checked out in one measure or another and I found them enjoyable to a degree.

Some are my favorites and I figured most of these are not some of the most well-known (even if certain titles are having a breakthrough).

For the record when I say Sports Manga I mean anything from football, basket, volley, baseball, and martial arts to racing, mahjong, shogi, ice skating, or pole dancing. All is there for me.

Best manga ranked by Koumazoku.
