Seriously, does Rikudou feel pain at all? She doesn't show an ounce of weakness in combat. Not sure how MC will get the stopping power to beat her up unless he can break her limbs or something like that.

MMA champ made a bad mistake thinking the fight is over because the clock hit zero. Not sure he can pry Rikudou off or he can jump back to salm his weight against her on the floor to make her lose her hold.

These last few chapters with Fuwa have been quite disappointing, since they're moving further and further from a realistic setting.

Rikudou is pretty much a normal girl. She's a bit tall, but that's it. She's not massive, she's not muscular, she doesn't even have any visible scars or keloids, which she would definitely have if she was getting into fights regularly. Yet she's portrayed having a resilience way above her body. Fuwa is shredded, he looks like the part. Why doesn't she?

Honestly, I think that the author wants to keep the theme of the original oneshot, where it's less about fighting, and more about Female MC being a monster/psychopath, while keeping the setting of a high-school beat-em up (that was probably suggested by the manga editor). But there it made sense her not looking like a seasoned fighter because she was straight shooting motherfuckers and hitting them with steel pipes from behind. Here, though, it's just making the writing look aimless and inconsistent.

i don't think it was ever realistic imo. It was a high school girl picking fights with grown ass men and winning in a couple punches. She always gave me this impression of being some type of monster (not literally) that strives only for violence and strikes fear into everyone else

I mean, look at this page from chapter 3

I doubt he can't get out of a rear choke performed by a teenager half his size who just took the beating of their life.

it was better the og idea, with her just being a psycho and the MC a detective, this fight wouldn't happen under normal circumstances.

also weird how he was suddenly getting scared this chapter, like last time he was only mad because of the cheating not that he couldn't take her out.

now it feels like he's gonna get broken, because this b!tch is gonna say the fight doesn't end until she says so, so he will see her everywhere.

Bro blinked.

Ready to see him get knocked out or even better, he gives up because he actually has things to live for (though, would giving up even matter to her? lol)

Manga is absolutely absurd and I love it, no amount of nerding over real fighting techniques could ever have changed that from the start.

I think what's kinda making this worse kengan is that she's winning just by being crazy. In kengan crazy can still be stopped. They'll be monologing then literally get their panel interrupted.

Nothing about her kit has explained why her teeth haven't been caved in and why that last punch didn't kill her. She just likes violence so much, I guess
