I'm looking for a (fighting) manga about judo. Not just a manga where a lot lot of different martial arts are used and one of them happens do be judo. It has to be all about judo.
I hope you know what I mean. And thanx a lot if you could help me :-)

Yawara! is a good example of a Judo manga.
I read so much mangas, I'm too lazy to watch anime! 😛 😛 😛

Awasete Ippon! (great manga, but not that focused of actual judo)
Bushin (shounen judo)
Holyland (there's some judo too)
Idejuu! (haven't read it yet myself, but I've heard it's pretty good)
Jigoro (a prequal to Yawara!)
Judo Sanka (the Ashita no Joe of judo mangas)
Karan (KIMURA Kon) (great and pretty new, all girls high judo manga)
Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru (and here's a bit too)
Kenka Shoubai (another good manga which has some judo)
Obi o Gyutto ne! (a good, full blooded judo manga)
Shushou!! Chiinke Wakami (I seriously don't remember anything about this one, except that there's judo in it)
Yawara! (the best ever judo manga)
Pretty good list I managed to make. If more comes to my mind, I'll let you know.
I really doubt there's any actual "fighting" judo manga. Yawara! is a must read, even if you're not looking for judo. I listed few where there's only a bit judo for my own pleasure.
Far-off places with sweet sounding names.

Thanks for all the answers. I will look at them even the most of them aren't scanlated yet..
With "fighting" I meant something like competitions, tournaments, etc...

You forgot 1 solid Martial Arts Manga. And that's Baki The Grappler.

I've read the Obi o Gyutto ne! series..
and re-read it and again. I never grow tired of it.
The main character faces ups & downs and the supporting characters are funny too! Not much of flashbacks either.
Highly recommend it!!

Surprised no one has mentioned this:
Shin Kotaro Makaritoru! Juudouhen
The rest of the manga is vvarious fighting styles, but this spin-off is ALL judo, nothing but judo...
