This guy is so fucking rapey.

 

[Ca_Calico]

This was a hard chapter to read

 

[Ceildric]

People being critical of Hawk, but he has never (as far as we know) raped or assaulted anyone. He has just been extremely forward and unprofessional.

Meanwhile, if you look back at earlier chapters, it's strongly implied in several different issues that Takamura raped or at least got rough with numerous "dates". And just 10-20 chapters back we see him sneak up and fondle Tomiko while she and Aoki are starting to have sex.

All the Hawk hate (by characters in the manga, and people here) seems pretty hypocritical and misplaced.

 

[Cinischalybs]

So they talk about Hawk doing is first defense, but in his presentation Hawk's been clearly described having multiple title defense

it took 375 chapters, but we finally got our racist caricature boxer from the west
man i miss jason, what a lad.

 

[Esroodie]

This guy is a piece of shit

 

[Goyal99Raj]

Takamura doesn't get enough shit, but Hawk really is doing his best to be even worse.
