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.

In a future time, the lowest ranked baseball team in the league, Karumgamo High School, decides to pool their money to buy a baseball robot, (which is allowed under the rules.) With what little money they had, they could not afford a special baseball robot, and Haruhei had to accept buying a very old model domestic assistant robot named Azusa. It turns out that Azusa has never heard of the game of baseball, but she is always willing to help. Her ability to learn and her success as the pitcher of the team changes the Karugamo Baseball team for the better.

Hikaru No Go

One of the greatest Go players in history, Fujiwarano Sai, has been trapped inside a goban (a traditional Go board) for hundreds of years. A young boy, Shindo Hikaru, has the power to free Sai, and by doing so, opens a spot in his mind for Sai to stay. As Sai is a spirit (or ghost) visible only to Hikaru, they find themselves strangely bound together. With very little in common, Sai urges him to attend various Go clubs to permit them to play against strong opponents and begins to teach Hikaru how to play Go. And slowly Hikaru becomes drawn into the strange world of competitive Go. Hikaru accepts Touya Akira as a rival and sets his goals on becoming good enough to defeat him, while Sai wishes only to attain skills for the ultimate Go-play, a move called "The Hand of God."
