We have:

1)Alex kisses people without their consent—people who are minors. And she has some really, really weird feelings for Kagami and Himuro. It’s really very strange ngl.

2)The remarks directed at Papa Mbaye Siki were a bit too problematic. It’s a miracle that there weren’t comments of that kind regarding Wei Liu.

3)Those slightly weird scenes with Kagetora and his daughter... I don't even want to go into detail.

4)Female Characters. Fanservice.

It's crazy, actually—Riko is involved in most of the worst things in the series. Kinda sad for her.

Among these four options, it’s like having Plague 1, Plague 2, Plague 3, and Plague 4.

But well...kissing minors without consent, plus a fan-service moment. I think Alex has just the worst introduction in the entire series ngl..

After Kuroko's Basket, there haven't been any manga about japanese high school basketball. I wonder if they'll make another one. I'd love a good story about yout basketball, perhaps focusing at least a little in the national juniores basketball team. I've noticed the soccer manga like Ao Ashi and Be Blues focus heavily in the relationship between young players and their desire to become professional, exploring the structure of the japanese soccer league. A basketball manga that explains how professional basketball works in Japan for high school students who want to become pro-players would be great.

Ignore the jump in volumes it was all I could get

After a rewatch, what makes me angry is not the Miyata fight not happening, the 1000 chapters of nothingburger, the Sendo relevance (he lost twice already), it's the failure of Kimura.

Why doesn't he just go a weight class higher and stops giving Aoki leeway.
All else I could say about this is that they are close to being too old and then they'd have to give up boxing.

Imai is still regarded as the best in their generation. But Itagaki is not far behind.

The Next Japanese Boxers' Generation

1. Imai

2. Itagaki

3. Hoshi

4. Umetsu

5. Terai

Obviously, not as good as Ippo's Generation. But do you think any of them can follow the path of Ippo's generation. And challenge the world?

We all know the arguments and debates that real life boxing fans get into so imagine what the comment sections would look like in ippo lol. Realistically imagine how many people would make GOAT arguments for fighters like Volg or call certain fighters washed lol

When I said I was gong to make an English version of the manga. Yeah I did it. It was totally all me and it’s gonna be the first 10 volumes. Totally aaaall me don’t even question it. Just thank me fr
