Makoto Call! (真コール!, Makoto Kōru!^?) is a Japanese shōjo manga series by Kazuko Fujita. The series first appeared in July 1990 on the 15th issue of the semimonthly Shōjo Comic. It won the 37th Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo. While shōjo, the series has elements of classical sports manga like player rivalry and special attacks.

The series is about high-school student Fujisaki Makoto, a figure skater who returns from Canada to Japan. As the result of a random encounter with her new school's volleyball team, she joins the team, and with her help they are able to hold off (but still loses at the end) to high school championships favorites led by Hitomi Kanou. There begins Fujisaki's road to stardom and Barcelona.

Makoto Call! was written and illustrated by Kazuko Fujita. It was serialized in the shōjo manga magazine Shōjo Comic from 1990 to 1992, and collected in nine tankōbon volumes by Shogakukan under the Flower Comics imprint. It was reprinted in 2003 in four bunkoban volumes.
