Hajime no ippo Manga Discussion

[joeboi112]

great two chapters itagaki rules it just pisses me off because i know 1 day he will be an enemy

[joeboi112]

that was a great chapter looks like Ippos up next although its been so long i dont remember who hes fighting

[diamondA]

new volume of ippo coming out in less than a week in Japan!!
(didn't read the previous volume 86 coz 1 match takes up so many volumes)

i don't know the last time Ippo fought a match...
something about, now that he's not fighting Miyata anymore, he's not gonna let go of the National Title but is gonna try to rev up his world rankings by fighting overseas national champions, right??

Yeah I wonder if Itagaki is ever gonna get his ass majorly kicked... even the owner said that Ippo's punches aren't gonna match Itagaki's speed...

[joeboi112]

yeah but i think that eventually itagaki will become an enemy and will fight ippo for a big title like world champ, but ippo wil come out on top it will just be a dramatic way to end it

[diamondA]

to end the already 87 volume long series??? I think the ending would HAVE to come down to Ippo vs. Miyata, in the end, eventually. the series doesn't seem to be wrapping up anytime soon anyway... right??

BUT yes I do want Itagaki to get the National Belt... the WBA/WBC is for Ippo and Miyata to fight over

[joeboi112]

i suppose thats true

[joeboi112]

looks like ippios in for a good fight i cant wait im so excited

.... and am definitely visiting and internet cafe tmrw and will report, with spoiler tage, about what goes on in the new volume of ippo. I'll try, but on 'new comic release days' there's a lot of customers >.< will try not to get shoved around, will BEAT others to the coveted tankoubon!! ^-^

^ that's just... sad, or should I say unfortunate?

well in Japan not everyone reads manga until they're in their 20s-30s-50s+, but I don't think there's a single kid in Japan (or Korea) for that matter who's never read/bought/got hooked on Manga. I myself subscribed to shoujo (Ribon Monthly) until middle school~

...now i read seinen/josei, too sometimes.
