My personal collection of female-centric sports manga that's actually good and doesn't feature too much sexualization and actually respects its female protagonists. We need more good sports manga about girls!!

Manga that has been mentioned by Tatsuki Fujimoto (Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch). Most of the stuff here was found on his Twitter, but a few are from interviews.

I'm defining "modern" to be if a series began publishing in 2013 or later. This is a list of titles I wish would get licensed in some form, and I'm sure there are tons more titles I don't even know about that are excellent and deserve to be licensed as well. I couldn't fit all of the titles I wish would get licensed on here, so maybe I'll do a part 2 at some point.
