[MattC302]

I nominate REAL for best sports manga.

 

[zelllogan]

I nominate Eyeshield 21. Because it made me read a manga about a sport I couldn't care less about. I would have nominated HNI if I didn't find the manga dragged. Since the woli fight, HNI is just an other random manga.

 

[Gotenkss]

I nominate Slam Dunk for best sports manga.
Extremely funny and well rounded characters.

 

[kdowns]

I nominate Eyeshield 21 for best sports manga.

 

[Barksrae]

I nominate Slam Dunk for best sports manga.
Extremely funny and well rounded characters.

I support that.

 

[Riku]

All worthy candidates this far. I'd like to nominate Giant Killing.

An extremely fresh take on sports genre. For one, it doesn't focus solely on an insecure high-school raw-diamond, but the starts at the national level right at the start. The perspective is bit weighted from the manager point of view, but the series handles football very widely as phenomenon. It is not just the game on the field. Managing, publicity and media, training, fanbase, junior sports. I love the characters and the story is very interesting.

 

[hoeru]

He's old, he's a drop out guy, but he's got a dream - and he has an afro: Rock'N Roll Ricky (RRR)

I'm actually neither a fan of sports manga nor of boxing (at all), but I was surprised of the whole package. Arts and story are ballanced pretty well IMHO.

I nominate Ashita no Joe for Best Sport Manga.
How to have forty years and don't feel them.

 

[destiny4ever]

I support Ustegius’ nomination and I would like to nominate Giant Killing as well for all the reasons he already stated.

[Kaiten]

I nominate Area no Kishi, a wonderful, fast paced soccer manga. Memorable characters, great game action.

 

[saladesu]

It's a tough choice between Slam Dunk and REAL for me, but since Slam Dunk is already leading I'll second the nomination for REAL. It's very unique in that it depicts disabled people. I have a soft spot for the disabled and I really like how Inoue-sensei has depicted them trying to use sports to lead more normal lives. The art is also brilliant and the emotions they convey are very strong. The focus is less on sports than it was with Slam Dunk, but that also makes for a more interesting manga imo.
