Book Description
A German teenage girl leads her misfit soccer team against their school's challenging team in this continuing sports manga series. When the going gets tough, the tough dress to impress! It's been a hard road, but Anya is determined to start her own soccer team. And thanks to her friend Feliz's inspirational Gothic Lolita jersey design, the topsy-turvy team has started to attract some serious attention. Do they have what it takes to compete with the official school team? It's going to take more than indie cred and high fashion if they want to take their game to the next level! 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 "Gothic Sports is a German manga created by Anike Hage who appears to have adapted many of the classic tropes of manga, while still maintaining an individual style that shines. The art is wonderful--a minimalist line-style coupled with a prudent use of tone. The wide range of emotions the characters display are wonderfully captured in the art and promises bigger and better things from this artist in the future."--Otaku News
