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
