Hi, Everyone.

If you can help me, I'm looking for a sports manga with a coach and/or manager that are not just figurative and have little relevance as characters. Stories with a coach who really participates and makes a difference in the team and / or a manager who is not only there to be beautiful and fall in love for the main character.

If don't have a manager, a romantic pair with these characteristics also serve.

I already read Baby Steps (for romantic pair more relevant) and Daiya no Ace (for coach).

Thank you very much for your help.

Give Giant Killing a try.

Rookies seems to already be on your wish list.

Eyeshield 21 does pretty well on the manager and coach front, but I don't think the coach shows up until they're several volumes into the story. When he does show up, he's important.

Seconding Giant Killing.

And Ookiku Furikabutte is on your wish list and works for the coach angle.

Days works for the manager angle, but it's a fairly large ensemble cast so she doesn't get a ton of screen time.
