Recs if you like Haikyu!!, Vol. 1...

Cultural phenomenon mangas that have become global household names over the years. All of these series have defined or impacted the animanga culture globally, in one way or another. From international movie releases, live-action adaptations, and instantly recognisable titles, these are the mangas to read if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about. Mainstream? Starter pack? Maybe, but they're pop culture icons for a reason. Believe it!

Suggestions and discussions welcome!!

Sports Books come in all shapes and forms. Maybe you want an athlete’s memoir, a literary drama, a sports romance, a mystery, an endurance adventure, a manga, or a book about the science and culture of sport - we have it all! This is not a comprehensive list of all niche genres, but a little map of the many ways sport can show up in literature. Recommendations are always welcome - just remember: variety is the key! 😉

A list of books from A-Z. I tried to include various genres to appeal to a wide array of readers. I wanted this to be a good reference list for anyone doing an alphabet reading challenge or anyone just looking for a new book to read!

I wanted to collate all the largest and greatest manga completed series with the first and last volumes to help me look to what to read next but also maybe this list will be helpful for others.

If you have any recommendations please leave a comment (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)

Manga that have anime adaptations.

These are some of my favorite mangas that I think more people should read!

Anything with people pursuing what they love. (Anything from sports to music)

A running list of manga series ranked by their estimated Oricon sales for 2025! 📊 Perfect for tracking which series are dominating Japan’s charts this year, from breakout hits to long-time favorites. Updated with data and trends as of August 3rd, 2025.

Some sports manga and manhwa that make me feel the love of the game! Some are strictly sports while others feature sports but not as the main focus.

Books that focus on characters, their growth and their journeys, because sometimes all you need is a book shaped hug. All of these are the ones I've read (and loved!), so some of the books that deserve to be here might be missing. All in all, feel free to recommend me any similar books to add here!

A selection of popular manga for those unsure where to start or veterans looking to pick up a series they somehow still haven't read yet.

Manga that got me into sports anime/manga and ones I really like. A caveat: I've watched more sports anime than I've read

keeping track of all mangas i've read and will read

Manga is a really good medium for tournament stories — serial release let's these tournaments have the space they need. I got really into this genre as a teenager and sports manga was the way I learned anything about any sport since I have always been a massive nerd.

Even if they're not necessarily good, they have a soft spot in my heart for one reason or another.

Stories (books, manga, manhwa, and fanfic) that live so rent free in my head I have to reread them. Minimum 3x reread.

Only the first book of the series included to not bloat the list
