Transferring to an entire new school to go after her dreams of volleyball, Nobara ends up battling her mother - among many other challenges - for her love of the sport.Teppu by Ohta Moare: Women’s MMA manga. Ishidou Natsuo is a prodigy at anything she does - sports, academics, and seemingly even martial arts, nothing challenges her, and with her height, she even loms over everyone else in the school. Until one day she runs into a Yuzuko Mawatori, a shorter fellow student with thick eyebrows who’s trying to recruit people into the school’s MMA club, and, challenging her to a spar, finally finds one thing in life that challenges her… and decides to dedicate herself to MMA in chase of that challenge, and for an opportunity to “wipe that smile off her face”. Highly character focused manga with a deep knowledge and respect of the sport. Imagine if the antagonist in a sports manga was now the protagonist.Tetsuwan Girl by Tsutomu Takahashi: Historically set women’s baseball manga. In 1949, a barmaid, Tome Kano, lost everything in the war, and hasn’t had much direction in her life since. When a wealthy man, Katsuya Ranzaki, enters her life, things take a new, bold turn for her - and she ends up getting sucked rapidly into the world of women’s baseball. High drama and high emotions set among gorgeous art as Tome struggles and sweats and bleeds to finally have a “real life”.TEPPU. -- source link
