Girls Do Sports
This collection exclusively praises female athletic spirit which seems to be unjustly neglected by the world of male-dominated sports manga. These girls are physically fit, strong-willed, ambitious and absolutely talented. Beniiro Heoro's Nobara said: "Rather than being in love, or being like a girl, I love the white ball." Unlike the long-lived stereotype depicting sporty girls as hopeless romantics, guys fall for girls like Nobara because of their unique charm.
