  Amazon.ca: Books: Girl Got Game: Volume 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
She just wants to be a normal girl, but she wants to make her dad happy, too, so she finds herself masquerading as a guy, living in the dorms with her teammates, and trying to figure out how to manage the shared bathroom situation.
Kyo Aizawa is a teenage girl who just wants to live a normal teenage life, but her father, whom used to be a basketball player and wanted to make it to the NBA, is now determined to live his dreams through his daughter.
What makes "Girl Got Game" different and worth reading, is that, it focuses on her relationships and girl problems instead of how funny it is to dress up like man like in most of these things.

 ABC News: Girls Got (Video) Game
Video games have ballooned into a multibillion-dollar pastime for females of all ages.
Jenna Chalmers, a video game designer at software company Electronic Arts, says the video-game industry was not marketing its products to women based on stereotypes.
Sales of the game have taken off, earning $3 billion last year alone, and experts say half of all Sims players are women.

 Got Game?
At the same time, players probably don’t completely ‘own’ everything there is to do with their character, it is created only through the use of the game, a game you don’t own, a game you bought a license to use for a bit.
As an educator, I have good students that are highly skilled in making games, willing to turn away from that career over stuff like this, preparing instead to work at small studios or in related fields because they can’t justify to themselves the lifestyle demanded by some pockets of the games industry.
But what it seems like is that the gaming companies are thumbing their nose at the whole 'violence in games' issue, that they just don't give a damn, and that they think its all kind of funny.

 Girl Got Game Manga Impressions - Tokidoki Entertainment Journal - Anime and Video Game Community
Her father was a basketball player when he was younger, but he got injured and his career was never able to take off.
Also, the basketball game scenes are interesting and easy to follow even for those who (like me) are completely clueless about the sport.
After the first volume Girl Got Game may not be the best manga I’ve ever read, but it has a lot of potential to get REALLY good.

You start by creating a character, which in videogame terms means you pick a character class (soldier, scoundrel, or scout), give him/her a name, and proceed through the rest of the game being addressed in mostly anonymous terms.
"You" has to be one of the most common words in the game, though to the games credit, it sometimes inserts your chosen name into dialogue choices.

The original band of four has been joined by Kylie Winter, the little girl who watched her teddy bear gut her parents in the first one.
And, yet, the writers take every opportunity in the game to remind us that Kylie watched her beloved Teddy Bear eviscerate her parents five years earlier.

 The Girl's Got Game?
Lead female characters in games are not meant to be role models, they're meant to jiggle and pout and keep male players interested (read: with a hard on) enough to buy and play the game (and the expansion set, and the sequels).
No, really, girl fighters don't prefer wearing skimpy clothing with no armor and wide expanses of flesh exposed…some of them might want to live through a fighting encounter with all limbs intact.
All I ask is that maybe some games come out that girls can actually play without groaning at the blatant sexual overtones and perhaps that I can eventually go into a game store without being seen as the exciting new playmate for some guy's brother.

 Sequential Tart - The Report Card
It's not just about the porn and the girl chasing, there's more to being masculine than all that, and it would be nice to see a series cover serious questions like "What does it really mean to be masculine or feminine?" Attention to detail would make the story more realistic and certainly more interesting.
Alas, GGG has descended into the realm of the average and mundane, to which most can relate to on some degree, but never directly, and no one can accept as realistic in any fashion.
Girl Got Game is a nice attempt to push beyond the normal limits of shoujo, but it has fallen short of my expectations this round.

 Hana-Kimi: Volume 2 : Reviews, Prices, Deals
While Sano figures out his new roommate's secret pretty quickly, he pretty much defies the generic reaction- instead of falling in love with her or confronting her with it, he just goes on treating her as if she's a guy, feeling too uncomfortable around her whenever he thinks of her as a girl.
If you like the cross-dressing, humourous, cute kind of manga- if you've read Girl Got Game and need something new or better in the same vein (which I think this definitely is), give Hana-Kimi a shot.
Hana Kimi is about a girl Mizuki who in order to meet her idol the famous high jumper Sano Hizumi she cuts her hair dress as a boy and enrols her self into a boy's high school!

 ‘Girls Get Game’ a hit with local youth
11:47 a.m., Dec. 22, 2003--About 40 girls ages 9-11 braved the remnants of Delaware’s second significant winter storm to take part in “Girls Got Game,” a sport-related activity held from 1-3 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 14, in UD’s Delaware Field House.
Activities included the practice of four skills while working in small groups with UD athletes from the field hockey, lacrosse, rowing and volleyball programs.
Getchell, who also teaches HESC/484, Women in Sports, said the girls topped off the afternoon’s activities by joining their parents, as well as UD athletes and students, for pizza and a sports drink.
