Baseball, basketball, and soccer remain the kings of sports manga, with some of the most popular titles to date falling under one of those three sports: “Slam Dunk,” “Diamond no Ace,” and “Blue Lock,” for example. Combat sports have also captured the attention of manga fans, with series like “Hajime no Ippo” being the longest continually running series of all time. With so many outstanding, long-running sports manga titles available, there are equal amounts of underrated gems that don't get the attention they deserve.
Here, we present 10 sports manga worth your attention, ranging from purist interpretations to absurd takes on popular and niche sports. These manga offer different experiences and approaches to the genre, so the following list is not ranked.

The Pokémon franchise is known for two things: creating a kid-friendly world full of imaginative creatures and hiding creepy details in plain sight. If you look through Pokédex, you are bound to find disturbing entries that paint the otherwise colorful critters with anime eyes in a different light. Who knew that Gorebyss hunted by spearing prey and drinking their vital fluids? Or that Spoink would die if they ever stopped bouncing?
However, there’s more to the creepy side of Pokémon than just Pokédex entries. Quite a few locations, cutscenes, and even mechanics hide details that add to the franchise’s lore and make the game world seem far less kid-friendly than it actually is. And then there are the locations that don’t bother hiding the strange phenomenon and are just excuses for the developers to freak players out. Here are some of the darker examples of Pokémon lore that we found.
