These Boys Love sports manga are all about finding love on the pitch.
Boys Love manga have gained considerable traction over the years, overtaking several popular themes. While most BL manga are confined to slice-of-life romcoms, sports narratives are another emerging theme for BL storylines. Newer BL titles such as Yuri On Ice may have popularized this theme, yet Boys Love sports manga date back to the early 2000s.
With a same-sex romantic escapade set against the backdrop of a sports arena, these Boys Love manga present dynamic premises that balance both intimacy and athleticism. Be it a budding romance among baseball teammates or a passionate spark between track runners, there’s something for everyone in this ever-expanding theme. 7 Take Over Zone

Masara Minase
Despite being limited to ten chapters, Take Over Zone presents a fleshed-out Boys Love relationship, though not without its fair share of love debacles. While the story primarily follows former track-runner Hashimoto and his rekindling interest in track, every single character receives ample spotlight, giving way to a few secondary couples.
While Take Over Zone might not be Masara Minase’s finest work, it’s still a stellar piece of art for a ten-chapter BL sports manga. Coach Wada and team captain Takashima’s budding affair is also an intriguing subplot, with the possibility of the two receiving a spin-off manga. 6 Baseball Heaven
