If you liked Captain Tsubasa add

...then you might like Blue Lock add

When i read captain tsubasa recently, the way they play reminded me so much of blue lock. Although blue lock has better art and captain tsubasa has better story, they are similar in a way that both contains superpowers and unrealistic aura when playing. The characters are flying, and of course, the football is there. Both popular too. So if you're a fan of unrealistic sports like captain tsubasa, you will like blue lock.

It's both about football and has the same unrealistic way of playing. Like characters flying, superpowers etc.

If you liked Hajime no Ippo add

...then you might like Ao Ashi add

Both are realistic and focuses on sports execution and techniques that they represents. The dialogues are both great, very inspiring, very exciting matches, very good matches, the emotional aspect and storyline of both series is great. Both top tier, peak fictions, highly recommended.

If you liked Haikyuu!! add

...then you might like Ao Ashi add

Just like Haikyuu, Ao Ashi is a realistic masterpiece of a sports series but football. However, Ao Ashi do not focuses on school, although they are high schoolers, school scenes are very rare. Ao ashi greatly focuses on football execution and explanations about it's techniques, different players positions etc. The main setting is on the field where the players are doing their practice, having their practice match, and professional matches, and in the dorms where the players are staying, you know those who passed in the selection exam. There are also scenes for their personal lives that will make you love the story even more. Ao ashi is also similar to Haikyuu in terms of emotional aspects. However, Ao ashi is just a bit more deep in emotion and scenes considering it's a seinin series (it tackles racism in sports, etc.) Ao ashi will give you emotional rides like Haikyuu. It will make you cry, happy, sad, mad, excited, hype, determined, inspired and most of all, it will make you fall inlove in the sport it represents. And for me, the most part where they are similar is the "teamwork". Sports requires teamwork. You can't play volleyball or football alone. Just like in Haikyuu, teamwork is very important in Ao ashi. You want to play football alone? Get lost. You don't want to cooperate? Leave. You suck? Then improve yourself fast or you will be replaced, or worse, kicked out. (coaches in Ao ashi are very strict, straightforward and can be really mean lol but they're the best). "WE DON'T SIGN SUPERSTARS, WE MAKE THEM" - Coach Tatsuya Fukuda About the pacing, Ao ashi's pacing is a bit faster compared to Haikyuu. Ao ashi's pacing is just right. Not fast, not slow but just right. It complements the flow of events and developments needed in the story perfectly. The execution of sports for both (volleyball and haikyuu) is excellent. Character developments, storyline and dialogues are top-tier. Ao ashi is very good. I highly recommend it. If you like Haikyuu, or if you like sports specially football, I'm sure you'll like it too. And they are both from Production IG so give it a try, you won't regret it.
