1. Blue Lock
Yoichi Isagi was moments away from scoring the goal that would send his high school soccer team to nationals, but a split-second decision to pass the ball to a teammate robbed him of that reality. Bitter, confused, and disappointed, Isagi wonders if the outcome would have been different if he hadn’t made the pass. When the young striker returned home, an invitation from the Japan Football Association awaited him. Through an arbitrary and biased decision-making process, Isagi is one of three hundred U-18 strikers selected for a controversial project called Blue Lock.
The main goal of the project is to turn one of the selected players into a star striker for the Japanese national team. To find the best participants, each diamond in the rough must compete against others through a series of solo and team competitions to reach the top. Putting aside his ethical objections to the project, Isagi feels compelled to fight to reach the top, even if it means destroying the dreams of 299 aspiring young strikers.

1.Haikyuu
Ever since having witnessed the “Little Giant” and his astonishing skills on the volleyball court, Shouyou Hinata has been bewitched by the dynamic nature of the sport. Even though his attempt to make his debut as a volleyball regular during a middle school tournament went up in flames, he longs to prove that his less-than-impressive height ceases to be a hindrance in the face of his sheer will and perseverance.
When Hinata enrolls in Karasuno High School, the Little Giant’s alma mater, he believes that he is one step closer to his goal of becoming a professional volleyball player. Although the school only retains a shadow of its former glory, Hinata’s conviction isn’t shaken until he learns that Tobio Kageyama—the prodigy who humiliated Hinata’s middle school volleyball team in a crushing defeat—is now his teammate.
To fulfill his desire of leaving a mark on the realm of volleyball—so often regarded as the domain of the tall and the strong—Hinata must smooth out his differences with Kageyama. Only when Hinata learns what it takes to be part of a team will he be able to join the race to the top in earnest.

3. Kuroko no Basket
For the last three years, Teikou Middle School has dominated the national basketball scene with its legendary lineup: the “Generation of Miracles.” It consisted of five prodigies who excelled at the sport, but a “Phantom Sixth Man” lurked in the shadows and helped earn the team their revered status. Eventually, their monstrous growth jaded them from the sport they loved and made them go their separate ways in high school. In search of new members, the Seirin High School basketball team recruits Taiga Kagami and Tetsuya Kuroko, two freshmen who seem to have significant differences in abilities. Having returned recently from America, Kagami has both a natural aptitude and relentless love for the sport. Meanwhile, Kuroko lacks presence and exhibits no outstanding athletic talent. However, it is later revealed that he is Teikou’s Phantom Sixth Man—the player once part of the Generation of Miracles. Kuroko wants to prove to the Seirin team that he is strong in his own way. Seeing his conviction, Kagami forms a dynamic partnership with Kuroko, the latter promising to support Kagami’s “light” as his “shadow.” Alongside their new Seirin teammates, they aim to conquer the upcoming Interhigh championship, but the reappearance of Kuroko’s former teammates complicates their plan.
