As the title described, I'm looking for an ongoing sports manga which is relatively new. After Eyeshield 21 ended, I couldn't find any sports manga that I could follow wholeheartedly.

I tried reading Area no Kishi and Kuroko no Basket, but I stopped midway for both.

Any type of sports is welcome, though I prefer soccer or other sports which are not usually used in mangas (like american football in Eyeshield).

Thanks so much in advance!

Comraddeeeee!!! Yeah, me too, after Eyeshield 21! ended... well, I have to say that it's the best sport manga I've ever read and it will always stay in that way.
Though I do have something you can take a look at:
Prince of Tennis or the sequel. It's not bad really, there has to be a reason why so many people like it.
One Outs not a light comedy one, you have to concentrate a little, but it's worth reading, the main character is really impressive.
Holyland not a typical sport manga, involved fighting sports though, if you want to try seinen.
Over Drive about cycling. I hesitated to read it at first, and it maybe a bit dragging to wait for more development, but it's an unique one alright.
Donten Prism Solar Car same artist, not as great though ( different author).
Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru ? maybe...

Smash! is a decent sports manga, kinda heavy on the romance part for a sports manga, dunno if that's OK with you.
Hikaru no Go Go is a sport? I'm not familiar with board games beside chess so I don't know, but it was an interesting read.

They are both finished and not really "recent" but oh well...

I've read Prince of Tennis until volume 14, I guess I will try to pick it up again.
One Outs and Holyland sounds interesting!! Will have a look!

Will add the last one in my to read list too. Thanks so much~

Slam Dunk is hands down the greatest sports manga I've ever read

Real is really really great sport series! It's about basketball (yeah common), but the players are on wheelchair. I Recommend it! 😀

Kaze no sylphid: horse racing
Ookiku Furikabutte

Subaru and its sequel, Moon: Ballet, but it has sport tag as genre, so maybe it counts? It's really great series, I'm captivated by the female lead and the intense story.

Hajime no Ippo: boxing, it's really long series but never bore me

15: Meisetsu Kougyou Koukou Rugby Bu: this is a rugby manga, there are 2 versions of it
Cross Over: a basketball manga, it's complete but still worth finishing
Giant Step and Happy Tennis: are two incomplete tennis mangas, but still good
Kaichu!: is an interesting archery manga that hints at shounen ai. however that is not an officail category and is not very evident or an actual part of the plot
Hanza Sky: involves akido and martial arts, it's still good

I hope these can help! All of them except Cross Over are incomplete, although a sequel is definitely possible for it.
