Shounen Hajime no Ippo by Morikawa Jyoji

[Sachsenhesse]

So it seems Hajime no Ippo will be avaiable on Netflix soon.

I for one already welcome the newcomers who will get hooked quite soon.

Not bad Wally, not bad... getting a duel exchange of Ricardo is impressive.

What I liked the most about the last chapter was the fact that Ricardo has asked the same question Ippo did at some point. Thought that was interesting.

The title had me like "fuck jeah die" but then it was wholesome.

Also Smashdempsey incoming? Nice that Wally will show Sendo how Ricardo plans to handle him

RIP Ippo.

Tellung Mashiba to his face that he wants to do Kumi... oh boy.

 

[Zehahaha]

I give up. The pace is really horrible and the progress slow. Reading these chapters about Ippo still being clueless about his true desires are just painful

I kinda enjoy it. Other gets the screentime with their world title matches and we see that ippo is still getting stronger.

sendo vs. ricardo
and mashiba vs. that puerto rican

is kinda hype
maybe take a break and if we are in a world title match i give you a message

 

[Zehahaha]

I liked the Mashiba flashback and I guess Ippo will be sparring with him

 

[Zehahaha]

Is Morikawa trolling us with these short chapters or what ?

 

[Sachsenhesse]

Atleast its progress....

Well that chapter was actual nice. Ippo and Mashiba slugging it out. Inb4 his opponent changes to orthodox and gets destroyed.

Also... why has itagaki a smartphone? Arent we canonically still in the 90s?

 

[Zehahaha]

All of this could've been captured in 2 chapters max. Horrible pacing really

But yes, seeing Ippo up for it was good though.
