Praise for Gothic Sports, Volume 1
“The novel is part sports manga, part shojo school story, with more emphasis placed on relationships and fashion than sports. The characters are well drawn, but the background art is often starkly sparse. A good option for libraries seeking short manga series.” —School Library Journal

      Gr 7 Up-Anya has worked hard to move up from trade school to college-track high school to accomplish her goal of playing high school sports. Rejected by the official basketball and soccer teams, she decides to form a coed soccer team of her own, complete with gothic uniforms. A mysterious boy from her past, a trial game for official school recognition, and old friends and new enemies flesh out the plot. The first of three volumes, this might be the beginning of a new trend: OGL (Original German Language) manga. The story brings with it a new culture, school, and grading system, but teens will easily be able to relate to the German characters. The novel is part sports manga, part shojo school story, with more emphasis placed on relationships and fashion than sports. The characters are well drawn, but the background art is often starkly sparse. A good option for libraries seeking short manga series, which are especially rare in the sports manga genre."Cara von Wrangel Kinsey, New York Public Library"
