You can't be hitting me with the social media arc

 

[soothingkiwi]

lol, kimura sus

 

[Asynchria]

That wound up being a lot less fun than I thought. I was hoping it'd be something like "Oh, Itagaki just uploaded the sparring match in its entirety and now people are blowing up at how good Ippo's doing" and not "Oh, Itagaki uploaded a picture that stirred up some trolls who're now starting shit"...

Laaaame

finally Ippo live in modern age

Is Morikawa currently getting flamed on twitter or something lmao

 

[ghostkun]

.... now the real world equivalent, Twitter, started up around 2006. Is this the first time we see an actual "jump" in time for this manga? Because I thought the manga would be always like a decade behind current times just due to the nature of publishing a chapter a week. Those first chapters were talking about listening to Michael Jackson and I don't even know if basic cell phones were even a thing. Now, smartphones, twitter, followers... it just strikes me.

morikawa discovers twitter

 

[BlueLue]

morikawa really said fuck it we ball and shifted the era to 2010s. jarring but for a manga running this long i say it's fine

 

[kimiz]

Itakgaki you fucking dipshit. You just leaked crucial info and now the Rosario dude is gonna fucking do an anti-anti strat now.

 

[ChronosGuard]

The mangaka is dragging us into the modern age and I don't like it.

 

[ACEG]

This chapter was accurately written but it still feels very "how do you do fellow kids".

I also just can't reconcile it with the era considering that Sendo mentioned buying an SNES in earlier chapters (I know a few years have passed since then but still).

 

[Doomroar]

Twitter wars on my boxing manga!?

 

[Lyanhyrt]

A social media arc focused on attacking itakgaki and not ippo possibly coming out of retirement has to be the biggest letdown in years.

 

[sandukan]

I bet Kumi is the account talking shit.

 

[Strigxx]

So can we marked this as "Morikawa Forgot" moment?

 

[Newbii]

Oh that's actually not as bad as I thought. Better feed false info rather than promote Ippo. He's still got good head on his shoulders, temper notwithstanding

 

[Specter_1]

Any one else thought he leaked the whole entire anti south strategy

 

[welbim1]

this is bullshit! i love the 90s vibe but now its a mess, first smart phone now twitter ?
cmon morikawa you are better than that.

In Japan, you can still go to gaming shops and find them for sale in very good condition, at least, but yeah.
