A story which uses incorporates a competitive event as a primary component of the story line, but which is not of a martial-arts or violent nature. While both being cooking based series, Yakitate!! Japan and Chuuka Ichiban are good examples of this genre.
Self-explanatory. Series who's primary focus is fighting would fit into this segment. Yu Yu Hakusho and Ranma 1/2 are classified as fighting series. But if you can, then please select a more specific keyword instead, such as "Gun-Action" or "Swordplay"; maybe some day we'll completely split up this category into some more terms of this sort.

At a new high school, she finds new friends brave enough to support her as she meets new combatants, as she struggles to refind that spark of inspiration that drove her to her first success as a gymnast.

In the Kanto Plain of Japan, high schools in the area are little more than fronts for what appear to be nothing more than gangs who all wear a strange earring. Within these schools, students fight to be the top-rated fighters in order to represent their school at the very unofficial Great Fighter's Tournament. However, what appears to be nothing more than thugs fighting street battles is in reality ancient Chinese history coming back to replay itself in modern times with students having names of various warriors from that time. |

 Kakutou Bijin Wulong |
Looking like any high school student, Mao Ran appears to be just a cute and normal young lady, but one with a fiery temper. She is also happens to be the heir to the Mao family tradition and is a master of the Mao style of unarmed martial arts. While Ran is reluctant to show her skills and avoids getting involved in any formal or competitive fights, her grandfather manages to succeed in tricking her into participating in a boxing-ring-style martial arts event called the ‘Prime Mat’. The challenge of fighting against strong rivals pushes her skills to the limit, and her initial reluctance gradually gives way to thrill and excitement as she looks forward to her next competitor. |

Nagi Souichirou and best friend, Bob, are both tough street fighters, but when they transfer to a new high school, they get their a**es kicked by the local gangs. They find out that their new high school is dedicated to refounding the martial arts, and combat ability is rated higher than academic skills. And what is with the cute Natsume Aya, who has decided to become his girlfriend (without even bothering to ask him)? But Souichirou is a glutton for punishment, with a fighting spirit that cannot be kept down for long. |
