Well, I guess Ippo's weakness really is that he is an emotionally immature manchild. That guy is remarkably astute.

Ippo's opponent should have come out in drag, thus guaranteeing that Ippo will never lay a finger on him.

Takamura vs Eagle was pretty good too (though admittedly not as climatic as the hawk fight)

I think it would be funny if all of the commentators were wrong, and that level of tension drives Ippo to greater feats of boxing.

Since anything anyone ever says is wrong, it looks like Ippo will get the one hit ko, and everyone will explain in hindsight why it happened.

Even in a manga notorious for being slow paced, that was remarkably bad. Oh, they are standing around! Now they are looking at each other! How exciting.

Okay I'm not sure if this is intentionally meant to piss off the readers as much as Ippo is pissed off too

"I didn't want... to read this manga anymore. I didn't want to remember any of it. I wanted to forget about all of it. In my chest and my head, there's this dull blackness swirling around. I've never felt this way before. I don't want to read this manga anymore!"

I'm positive the dude is just trolling now. Maybe next week we'll get only 7 pages and someone will start to throw a punch.

I don't know why the gently caress I started reading this piece of poo poo manga again. I'm a loving sucker.

I've stopped reading the comic literally years ago at this point. I just keep up with the thread to watch people moan about the quality while pretending like it could ever, would ever get better.

I started reading again because people in this thread said a recent chapter was good. Obviously, it was not.

Well, despite all my negativity towards, I actually still like reading it. Sure it's not as good as it once was, but I'm genuinely eager to find out what's going to happen. Unless it's another Woli type fight.

Ippo is going to win. There is no other outcome. I don't ... I mean what do you think could happen?

I was sure there was no way to stretch that out any further without starting the fight. Goddammit, this manga didn't used to be like this.

Depends on what you mean by used to be. It's been like this for nearly three years at this point.

Eh, whatever. I just read Ippo casually and it's seemed alright to me. It's still better than some other big series like Bleach, even if it's moving a little slowly.

This manga is literally Abe Simpson standing at a supermarket check-out with one bottle of men's tonic talking to the cashier about the story behind the reason the nickel he's looking for in the loafer he's lost has a funny-shaped nick in it.
