and "NO U!!!"??? I never said that, freak weirdo. whatever dude

Your whining here say otherwise, why aren't commenting at the latest chapter instead then?


You wouldn't have replied to me if that was the case.


It's not, you can't just say things and expect them to be valid, you can't even provide a reason why.


You do too since you're still reading literally MONTHS later


Nice tears, buddy, good job confirming you were indeed crying.

'I-i-i'm not obligated to make sense or stop being retarded, stop pointing out!!!!' Nah. You were bullshitting and got caught.

You're replying because you care and 'muh fun' doesn't make sense when you're so clearly mad.

You did say it, stop coping. 'F-f-f-freak!!!! W-w-weirdo!!! W-w-whatever!!!' So much for finding it fun, eh?

sure bro, whatever keep your peepee warm.

Honestly at this point I'd prefer for the series to just be the adventures of Miu and Karate Dad, they're significantly more entertaining than Akita (pretty bland tbh) and Setsuna (lol).

I think if this series has a real fundamental flaw though it's that it doesn't have anything interesting to say about violence. The MMA Vs Setsuna fight (that seems to be the core of all controversies) doesn't actually have a point.

Setsuna fights him by cheating, essentially. Throughout the fight she constantly tries to use moves prohibited in MMA and gets shut down then manages to finally get an advantage by messing with the clock. But what's violent about cheating? Is Setsuna telling him to win at all costs? If he's using a conservative or defensive style that's probably to maximise his chances of winning above using a more aggressive style.

It's not that Setsuna is stronger either - we see in the final chapter of the fight that has he chosen to slam her he could have escaped from her choke but refused because he was afraid of accidentally killing her. So what exactly was the point?

I think the only arc where the moral felt really clear is the best one for that reason, and that's the Karate Dad arc where the point is that he had let the pain of losing create a fear of losing that had permeated throughout his life. That's a cogent argument that's skillfully articulated. If the manga only waxed philosophical when it actually had a point it would probably hit harder.

Do you mind summarising the story, I feel like it's bad and don't want to bother skimming

Premise: Akita is a smug nerd who dreams of being rich and successful and is proud of his intelligence and grades, but gets pushed around by a bully in his class. That bully, a karate champ, gets his shit pushed in by a new arrival to the school, Setsuna, a genuinely insane high school girl who is obsessed with violence. She is also an expert fighter.

After beating the bully she then defeats a bodybuilder gangster. Then she challenges an MMA contender, who she also defeats; unlike Setsuna who will do anything to win he held back for fear of killing her and she encourages him to embrace total violence.

After this she takes Akita under her wing and begins training him to fight. Akita enters an underground fighting ring and manages to beat a punk. Then the two of them are accosted by Mitsuhara, a mysterious television executive. After the two of them rebuff him, he has Akita's house burned to the ground (his family survive unscathed).

Mitsuhara then enrolls Akita in his new show, No Rules, a street fighting reality show where 100 people fight to be ranked #1 by the end of the show. Everything since then has Akita been fighting people for that show, eventually with the help of Miu, a pro-wrestler who allies with him.

Everything since then has been fighting people

So, is Setsuna one of those "Wait for me" female characters like "Kaiju no.8" or "Wistoria"?
Sounds like it's doing "Kengan Ashura" but underdog instead of best from start

Thanks for summarising, I'll maybe check it out once it completes, Setsuna sounds like the "goal", if she's been proven to be beatable, then that's probably foreshadowing Akita will beat her
