pretty much everyone working in Kengan is extremely into MMA and american stuff so if there's one fighting manga that would break tradition it's that one

Hmm this sumo guy seems small and weak. No! Actually he’s really big and now he’s giving me an atomic wedgie! Noo I am undone!

Muteba I think stands out. Though technically not mma?

I think the only true mma fighter was okuba and he is GLORIOUS NIPPON BOY MADE GOOD.

Agito could probably be counted as MMA. His stance and how he punches, kicks and grapples is pretty similar to the stuff you see in UFC. I wish Itigaki would put some research into it because these jobbers dont fight or even stand like any MMA fighter I've ever seen.

I can see why they would want to keep it under wraps to avoid any sort of nepotism comments but drat, at this point I feel like she proved herself more than enough, beastars is amazing and her art style is extremely unique.

She absolutely did and Beastars is easily one of the best manga serialized at the moment. Anyways this sumo poo poo is loving boring lol. Wrap it up already.

I guess this is a good time as any to ask: Does anyone know why the majority of female mangaka never show their faces? I've seen quite a few cases of that so far, like Itagaki Paru there.

For some reason I keep thinking unbidden about Tokugawa watching the scientist inject one of Miyamoto Mushashi’s cell nuclei into a donor egg and being all “So, this is like the sperm fertilizing the egg, eh? Eh? :quagmire:” and the scientist going “Um, no...?” And then I chuckle to myself.
