Yeah, that’s a good point. I’m a pretty pessimistic person by nature, so that would kinda suck for me.

Well, yeah, of course. But honestly, that’s even worse. Imagine an elf falling in love with a different human everytime the old one dies. It’s like a constant loop of heartbreak.

You’re 1400 chapters in and you’re just now gonna drop it? If you do that then you’re a fucking idiot

She is not the worst character in the slightest. She wants Ippo to not box again and rightly so. She hates boxing for good reason. She’s watching the two most important people in her life get beaten within an inch of their lives everytime they fight. Ippo was was at extreme risk of being punch...

I mean, the manga’s been going for 20+ years. It’s not a fantasy shounen where the mangaka can throw in some new magic. He’s gotta come up with stuff to keep it new, even if it is unrealistic to real life boxing.

It wasn’t cruel. It was a mistake. Ippo thought Mashiba was about to take him down with the chopping right. He didn’t see that uppercut coming.

I like how casual Aoki is with Miyata. He’s just clinging to him and Miyata’s just allowing it. It’s kinda sweet

Sounds like you’re the one that’s butthurt because the manga isn’t about what you want it to be about.

All this Kumi hate is so fucking stupid. How would you feel if the person you were in love with kept wanting to go out and get their ass kicked all the time and risking their life? Now multiply that by ten when you realize that it’s not just the person you’re in love with that’s doing this, but...

Everybody over here acting like Kumi’s the bad guy when she’s actually entirely in the right. Ippo was like a punch away from being punch drunk and he’s doing his best to move on from boxing, now the damn reporter chick just shows up outta nowhere and is gonna get boxing in his head again.

Had to get him in the zone. Punching himself ain’t enough for a badass like Sendo

It’s over exaggerated. Everything is in this manga. It mixes realism with fantasy. The principles are mostly real, but the execution of the actual boxing isn’t realistic

My respect for Aoki just jumped up quite a lot. And that’s saying a lot because my respect for Aoki has never been very high. Realizing that Kojima wanted Ippo’s autograph instead of his, then swallowing his annoying pride and getting him the autograph was a really solid thing to do. Good on...

That’s not at all what the author’s doing. The author isn’t lecturing anybody. Fighting that way isn’t what Ippo does. It’s not his character and it never has been. Ippo is a die-hard, PROFESSIONAL boxing lover. Ippo’s not a violent guy in the slightest. He’s never done something purely to hurt...

I’m thinking there’s three possibilities. 1. The boss is a scumbag towards the women except the girl that was already working there. 2. The girl that was already working there is a yandere-ish girl that wants all the attention on herself or wants the manager to herself. 3. There’s a regular...
