Dancing, ice-skating, gymnastics and so on.

Ice Skating or Figure Skating is the focus of these manga. Training and competing in tournaments or championships are common themes in sports titles, as well as individual or team spirit, or being an underdog who goes against the odds to succeed.

Any manga where the main plotline revolves around dance.

This list includes all types of dance, from break dance, ballet, ballroom dancing, ice dance, to modern dance.

Note: I did not include titles that revolve around gymnastics, idols, cheerleading, or acting, as they do not feature dancing as the main theme. I also did not include titles that were excessively explicit, or titles I couldn't find any information about. I also included some manwha and manhua from MAL's database.

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.

This stack is for any manga that primarily revolves around the sport of ice skating. The last three manga in this stack are anthologies in which only one story revolves around ice skating.

Note: I did not include any overly explicit titles.

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.

This is a list of the Shojo and Josei manga that have received physical releases from Kodansha, even if some of them are Out of Print.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56770

Notably, I am NOT including any titles which have been physically released by Seven Seas or Yen Press in this list as Kodansha was not the one to give them a physical release.

I will include any titles which were previously published by another publisher that Kodansha has re-released.

I will also NOT include any titles released under Vertical Inc comics, which is under Kodansha. I have separate lists for Yen Press, Seven Seas and Vertical Inc Shojo and Josei releases. (For manga physically released under Vertical, see this list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56497)

❣︎ this manga stack does not include prequels.

Fire, water, earth, air, the manga reading challenge demands a manga with an element in the title and I'm here to give suggestions.
