Oh this is pro wrestling. I don't know why I was under the impression she was in a club for real wrestling.

 

[nyanpasu47]

so bout the delay, I had other stuff to do and wasn't able to make time for this. sorrydesu

Big girl vs tall girl

 

[doomskull]

That doesn't seem legal.

Hope we get more chapters in the near future, this is kinda rad

Uhh pretty sure kicking someone in the face in high school wrestling is a dq...

 

[anuanuanu]

The Heel's doing her role properly with that unprovoked kick

 

[NeverAnother]

When she picked him up I had “Ring X Mama” flashbacks lol.

I thought this would be greco-roman wrestling, not pro-wrestling. A high school club where you can kick people in the face seems... extra? Anyways Yamada is looking thicc, which is justice. Babyface thickness for the win.

Earlier chapters made it clear it was pro wrestling.

i'm just confused about the fact that it seems like this universe has the wrestling be "legit" and not worked given how they're treating the start of the bout like an actual fight.

 

[havelmom]

she's in the theater club

I turned off the TV a couple decades ago after the "attitude era". But the way these rumbling roses are looking, I'm back in gents! Pretty entertaining, too. Nice entrances and good heel vs. babyface dynamic. Reminds me of any highschool pro wrestling show around here back in the day.

This is cute, too bad it's only 11 chapters. It reminds me of Abs: The Manga.

Japanese pro-wrestling (puroresu) has two forms. The official "professional" form that's shown on TV and organized by "Promotions" is kayfabe just as in the US, but the matches are done with real, full-contact action. The second, amateur, form is basically MMA and is a legitimate competition. It's still called puroresu because the Japanese term has lost the original English meaning of the puro part. It should be noted that in Japan the same people do both types of puroresu, so Japanese pro wrestlers are all legitimate MMA athletes, and many have fought in K-1 or other MMA competitions. Antonio Inoki, the legendary grand master of puroresu, fought Muhammad Ali to a standstill in 1976 under rules that were designed to give every advantage to Ali. At the end of that fight, Ali took severe leg injuries while Inoki basically came out unscathed.

It was more like a bunch of kids borrowing the boxing ring at the local gym and one of them taping it with a camcorder that we all thought was super fancy. You know, the kind that put film on this little tape that you stuck into a VHS-sized case so you could play it normally or rip it to a regular cassette.

that is a hilariously Bom-Ba-Ye way to describe a "fight" where Inoki sat on the mat the whole time and kicked his legs at Ali whenever he got close. The whole spectacle was an embarrassment for both men.
