Probably true. I didn't really think that Prince of Tennis would be any good either, before I started reading it.

 

[Newkerzy]

That's right. To quote E-i-C of Bakuman: "A manga just has to be interesting"

 

[Oberon]

Uhm I don't know.

If this kind of sports don't like me also in real life, probably my interest to this manga will be few.

I know that a manga isn't the right copy of the sport, but the base is that.

I personally think an archery manga sounds awesome

 

[Estranho]

Me too, but I saw the raw of Sazitari (the one-shot) and was a little disappointing, especially the art...

 

[komi2011]

For those wondering, I have Jump Next!
Should commence scanning the Komi oneshot within a day or so,
and I'll try to get my translator on it if possible.

hey, someone released the komi oneshot. It's been out on raw bunko since 3 days now.

I can't wait for the translation though!

C'mon.. Ok I mean archery isn't a bad sport, but you can't do a manga about this. Nay, You can do (Sazitari is the prove) but the results it's a crap.

I don't know why no one try to publish a series about hockey, it sounds great. For you wouldn't?

 

[Mr. Prince]

A good mangaka can turn the most boring or rather unconventional things into an interesting series IMO... I'd never let myself get scared off like that. If so, you're missing out some great stuff.

I don't know why no one try to publish a series about hockey, it sounds great. For you wouldn't?

I have read two or three series about Ice Hockey and I remember reading at some other place about a not so unsuccessful Field Hockey manga.

So people have tried before. xD

There are two ice hockey mangas:

Go!! Southern Ice Hockey Club and Go Ahead

I have read a few chapter of "Go Ahead", but that was disappointet for me, because that wasn´t real Ice Hockey >.>
The other Manga, i haven´t read it and I don´t want it, because of the cover which was on.


But if you like other winter sports mangas, then I will suggest I-Revo and Nononono



Anyway, I would see in WSJ Magazine some new sport mangas like PoT or Eyeshield21, but plz no mix with sports and with deamon shit. It should be like PoT.

 

[dokuganryuu]

I think Jump is trying to push some more sport series. Jump recently released one shots on archery, kendo, judo, and volleyball.

What were the names/issues with the Kendo and Judo one shots? The kendo one sounds interesting and I have a friend who practices Judo who would be interested in that one.
Thanks

Wait.. I made this reasoning only for the spokon, infact now we are only talking about spokon, not seinen or shonen.
If I don't like a specific sport, for me it's impossible to read it.

Thanks for the notice.

I'm a little bit dissapointed. I think hockey is a wonderful sport, perfect for a manga.

Me too..

 

[Mr. Prince]

There are two ice hockey mangas which got Edited Mangas out

Fixed that for you... there are several more, they just never got translated.

Agreed. Except the mention of TeniPuri... there are tons of better sport titles out there.
I still think JUMP should go back to the roots and give us another phenomenal Baseball manga.

There is a Kendo Manga called Bamboo Blade, which also was produced as a Anime-Series with 26 Episodes

I still think JUMP should go back to the roots and give us another phenomenal Baseball manga.

No, not an another Baseball manga. There is a ton of that theme. I prefer basketball or another sport theme, then that.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

The kendo one shot is called Kurogane by Ikezawa Haruto; it was released on Issue 3/4.

And the judo one shot is called Ippon Bambi! by Miyamoto Kazuya; it was released on Issue 7.

 

[Kaiten]

One of my favorite Jump sports series was about ping pong. In the right hands, manga about unconventional sports can be as or more interesting than ones about soccer, baseball, etc. It's all about the people, care about the characters and the competition is interesting. It's of little consequence anyway, Light Wing is another example that Jump can't support more than one sports series at a time. Not right now, the readers keep rejecting new series. Kuroko will probably be it for a good long time.

Really, other than action, it seems hard to get anything serialized in Jump. Romantic comedies, harem, comedy, sports school life, gag all used to be staples. Now anything that doesn't involve action or super natural power really struggles. Sket Dance, Gintama, Inumaru may be the last of a breed. Since Ane Doki ended has there even been a rom-com or harem series?

 

[some guy]

That seems to be the case.
Doesn't Gintama generally do worse in reader polls when it's running humorous chapters with little to no action, too?

 

[Drmke]

C'mon.. Ok I mean archery isn't a bad sport, but you can't do a manga about this. Nay, You can do (Sazitari is the prove) but the results it's a crap.

But why can't you? I'm sure it's been done before Sazitari was around. Hell go is easily the most boring thing to play and watch in the world (least in my opinion) yet Hikaru no Go was a very fun and exciting series because it was well written. Like Mr. Prince and Kait said, it's all about delivery, and when dealing with an unusual sport like archery, you have an extra element of surprise than when dealing with a sport that has been done to death like soccer or baseball.

 

[Asarii]

I'm going to sound like a broken record and repeat what others have said. Any manga can be a hit as long as the characters and plot resonate with the readers no matter what the concept is. Same goes for other mediums: The Office is a television comedy about people working in a small company. It seems boring from that extremely basic synopsis I gave, but the way it's written engages its viewers.

Kyuudo (archery) has taken on its own form in Japan so it's fairly mainstream there.

 

[Newkerzy]

What about Badminton??!! I'd love to see that since it's my country's national sport. And hopefully someone can come up with an inspiring one like Slam Dunk did for basketball. Hopefully that'll help with the regeneration of our badminton athletes. (I've read Smash!! but it focuses more on romance than the sport itself.)
