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!!

Don't get me wrong, I love a good by-the-book sports manga. But variety is the spice of life, so here are some sports manga that don't fit the mold.

The mold:
1. Fully male team/almost entirely male cast
2. School sports team
3. Teen athletes

So if it doesn't fit all of those criteria, it fits this list!

A collection of shoujo and josei manga that focus on or have a strong emphasis on sports, be it basketball or ballet.

When people think of sports series they typically think of shounen series like Haikyuu or Kuroko's Basketball or seinen series like Real. And I have found that sports focused shoujo and josei are not as talked about outside of a few classic series and Chihayafuru.

So I have collected all the notable ones I could find for the convenience of people who want to see a feminine perspective on the sports genre. The series in this stack cover both men's and women's sports both on a professional and high school level.

I will note that some of these series are not focused on the sports themselves and have other things at the forefront.

Manga that were published under the Shojo Beat/Shojo imprint by Viz Media.

This stack covers Shojo and Josei manga that have a strong emphasis on sports, whether that's men's sports or women's sports. Additionally, it includes everything from tennis to dance to things like Karuta.
