I can't believe i'm still reading HNI after so many years of let downs.
I don’t know why but i thought the manga would end with ippo having a classic exit for a boxer, drunkpunched but ok and a nice life afterwards. And i would have been ok with it. In fact i’d have loved an ending so bold, without tropes like becoming world champ etc, just quietly leaving into the night.
But instead we have the long and painful road of “if he were to come back” for how many years now? 2 or 3? I can’t even tell anymore.
Sorry for the rant everyone, it had to get out.
