If you’re looking for lots and lots(!) of minute details on summer-based active wear for females, this is a very solid guide to get.
Contents include: 1. Race queen uniforms; cheerleader uniforms; tennis outfits; gym uniforms; leotards. 2. The most fundamental, eye-catching active wear: the swimsuit. 3. Basic construction and design of eye-catching costumes.
While men are briefly included in the swimsuit section, it’s the female active wear in this volume that’s way more varied & interesting. The overwhelming majority of the many female figures here are kind of small-sized, generic, and without facial features, because the emphasis is on their outfits. These designs are great for summer-like weather and basic, outdoor activity. It’s definitely about aesthetics here, and not about mainstream sports & equipment. It might be true that full color fashion & sports magazines would be an even better source for reference than this black & white manga guide, but I still think it’s great for its wide variety of clothing tips & details. And with 240 pages, it’s a thicker book than most of the other volumes in this series.
As good as these costume guides are, I think I might prefer the slimmer How To Draw Manga Volume 22: Bishoujo Around The World. The figures depicted in it are bigger & visually more varied, even though it has fewer pages. Really, I think all these guides are worth checking out, if you can find a decent price.

I was a little skeptical when I first saw the cover of this book, not to mention the title of this book. I think they titled it that so men would be drawn to it and buy it. But I must say this book is actually pretty good. It has some really creative ideas when it comes to fashion designs. You can also use the ideas to not only make sports wear, but anything your imagination can come up with. You could design simple bathing suits to active sports wear to even a hero’s outfit or even yet a cool space suit. With this book you can even design a fashion that best suites a unique characters personality, that could have nothing to do with sports, the book is fantastically inspiring.
The only down fall is its awfully weak when it comes to men’s. Not that very many men will have sexy sports wear, but neither the first or second Costume Encyclopedias have much of anything for the men. The whole How To Draw Manga series kind of left in the dark when it comes to men. They have one book for Male Characters and five for Female Characters.
Yet, this book is worth buying. But if you don’t have the first Costume Encyclopedia, get that one first and skip over the second one.

Based on the others two volumes in this serie, I expected a more complete volume, showing perhaps various sport-like costumes and how to draw it, even though it was calling Sex Sport Wear; after all, the other two volumes go beyond the mere “sex” aspect of costumes. So, if you want a lot of short shorts and bikinis, it is ok. If you want a more complete guide to draw sports wear, forget it

Trust me when I say, some of the titles can be very misleading. Fortunately, this book was not misleading at all. This book has what the title suggests, sport wear. In the book, it shows you a variety of sport wear that characters wear in their active lifestyles. Not only does it have sporty wear, but they also managed to sneak in some fantasy style clothing as well as cheerleading outfits in there as well. This book has a good bit of poses that would be very useful, and it shows how the body would look in certain outfits. If you are looking for a book that helps you come up with some cute and sporty ideas for a sport genre manga then this is definately a must buy! Also, there is very, I mean very little nudity in this book, so I would also recommend this book for those who are offended by nudity.
