Admin’s Note

It’s very interesting to see that kabaddi manga is contributing to the increase in the number of participants in the sport. It really reinforces my belief in the power of manga to spark interest in sports. In particular, I think it can serve as a gateway for younger generations to feel more connected to the sport, which could lead to the future development of kabaddi. While we look forward to the Japanese team’s performance at the Asian Games, I also want to pay attention to the influence of manga.
