Both of these shounen sports manga feature a main duo comprised of: A: an athlete who has honed a specialized skill through years of individual practice but has never been part of a team (Hinata and Uchigawa) and B: an athlete who possesses the "support" skillset necessary to utilize athlete A's unique skill (Kageyama and Ebina).

Donten ni Warau
|
Both Donten ni Warau and Akatoki no Yami are historical manga (Donten is set in the Meiji period and Akatoki in the Heian period) with gorgeous art and an emphasis on the supernatural. In each manga, the special powers and responsibilities of a family line are passed through generations and inherited by the main characters. Donten is fast-paced with a greater proportion of action and comedy, while Akatoki progresses at a slower pace, focusing on political machinations and the navigation of social hierarchies.

Running on Empty

These two titles deal with themes concerning finding escape from life's hardships in the sanctuary of a relationship, although the issues presented in 'Running on Empty', such as suicide, take a darker tone. Both titles feature a relationship with some welcome lighthearted moments developing between a high school student and a slightly older man, though 'Honki Ja Neekara' swings into yaoi territory. Both highly recommended.
