Are there really martial art/sport colleges in Japan? KSKM seems a bit more realistic than AIKI, but going by the latter I just assumed that it was a fictitious concept.

I loved the gym chapter! I used to go to a Thai Boxing club and those training scenes really took me back. I quit because I realized I didn't have the "killer instinct" to take the sport seriously ( that is, hitting people made me feel uncomfortable ). Reading this makes me want to start going to a club again, just for the satisfyingly hard workout if nothing else! This must mean the author is doing a good job so I definitely recommend this manga. Besides, I enjoy rear end in a top hat protagonists  "I get some good sounds from you, too." Ha! Renoistic fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Jan 2, 2010 |

A lot of the training stuff reminded me of the warm-up exercises that we did back when I used to do Aiki-jujitsu (like aikido except more focused on the actual fighting aspects than the philosophy and stuff)

Ytlaya posted:By the way, if you like this manga you might want to check out Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru. It does have some character cliches, but one nice "broken" cliche is that the main character starts out with gymnastics experience and is legitimately talented and in great shape. So sorta like Teppu you have a competent protagonist who isn't just some dumbass with a heart of gold and work ethic. This sounds interesting, could you be prevailed upon/harassed into making a thread about it, or at least post more info + links if available somewhere (here or misc shounen thread as appropriate?) Apologies if you already did, this is only the second thread I've read this evening.

the least cliched fighting manga is Shamo, if only because it's about a serial killer who enters the karate/ MMA world so he can tear down famous people. He cheats a lot. He is morally reprehensible

He's not a serial killer, just a regular killer. And later rapist.

Echoing the responses, this is an awesome manga for anyone remotely interested in MMA. I just started taking BJJ classes at a Brazilian Top Team gym, so I can totally relate to being to the new kid that everyone can style on. The CH. 6 gym stuff has me pretty psyched to go to class this week. This fight in Ch. 5 really reminds me of real world Megumi Fujii's fight vs Serin Murray. Crazy high-speed tackles.

EDIT: blueballs bump I know, but what can you do.. I guess this project is dead, sigh, apparently animexis stopped doing it? They said they had staffing troubles earlier and apparently the only dude doing teppu is some brazilian guy that doesn't know english, i don't even know. In the meantime: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/all_rounder_meguru/

Kanapox on the Animexis.org forums 03-05-2010 posted:Teppu ch7 has been done for several days, it's my fault (real life stuff actually) that just keep messing with my plans. Anyway, I'll try to send you this Friday those pages that need corrections in Portuguese, I want to release teppu as fast as I can, ch9 is going to be published tomorrow in Japan and we still have more exciting series to show to you guys. On another note the first two collected volumes came out on the fifth.

It feels odd to say this in this thread, but I like Meguru a hell of a lot more than I did Teppu, plus it actually seems to be an active project!

I was gonna say that, while it's good, the main character is straight out of the generic protagonist factory, but, as always, the introduction of tall girl makes everything better("With your height, you can do any sport! basketball, volleyball, dominatrix...")

Sindai posted:Haha, Mario is great. That was Natsuo getting a deeper backstory and more complex motivations. She was clearly terrified of him and it was the most emotion she has shown thus far. It isn't just the complete lack of misogyny that makes this series good; the character work is also excellent.

I was totally expecting Mario to be a jerk just based on the facial expression he's had on all the time. Imagine my surprise when we find out he's funny and awesome! It's been mentioned before, but Teppu really is like reading a fight manga from the rival/antagonist's point of view. Ringi and Yuzuko would be the main characters in any other series.

Quite a resemblence, and it seems the author is actually updating regularly again. You might want to look into it again. And in regards to her brother, I'd have to agree with cisneros. I got the feeling that she emasculated him in front of whoever he was fighting him and didn't take it too lightly. At least in the sense that he would have to deal with the fact that his sister had to save him around his peers.

cisneros posted:I know it's easy to assume that the woman has to be scared of the man, I thought like that for a second, but when adding the pieces I remembered the flashback that she remembers at that time, where she's defending some guy, most likely him, and since the brother talks normally when he thinks it's his mom that came in, I assume he's not the kind of guy that would hit his sister, and really, he looked kind of short and dumpy, and her reaction is probably out of awkwardness(At least I prefer to think like that). Maybe he's supposed to be off at college. Or maybe he's a NEET who almost never leaves his room? I definitely don't think that initial reaction is fear - she looks sad when he ignores her and leaves, not relieved. I think the conjecture about wounded pride is on the mark.
