i just want this specific fight to be over. i honestly feel like mori does as well. the story beats seem to be happening with less build up than takamura's usual bouts. we went from 'dominating' to 'getting owned' in like 1 chapter. i can't even tell what point mori is trying to make with the fight either - unless it's an actually self aware 'the coach fuckin sucks at his job' cuz even ippo has started to notice he doesn't seem to give genuine advice ever

Morikawa lucked out by finding Takamura and failed upwards as a result. Hell, Takamura is the only reason Ippo ended up in the gym.

Chapter 1345 So, Dragon's worst day was actually pretty bad yeah. Also Kamogawa did give advice. Shame on you all for doubting!

Chapter 1346, starting with a page explaining that now that Ippo is finally digitally the weekly scans will look way way better and save 6 hours of work per week

They're so happy that it's digital now. 6 hours per weeks, goddamn. They've always done fantastic work, so all that effort showed tbh.

I had no idea cleaning took that long. I always assumed redrawing, whatever was involved in it, would be the biggest time sink

I always assumed redrawing, whatever was involved in it, would be the biggest time sink The paper they use for the print version is such cheap paper that even in real life it's sometimes hard to make out some details because the literal paper fibers are so noticably big. It's seriously elementary school cheap and thin construction paper, and its hilarious to me that Morikawa's stubbornness was the only reason HnI was the sole manga in that anthology to not be digitally distributed until now.

really just didn't like this fight overall. the build up felt phoned in, the fight itself had some cool moments but the pacing was kinda all over the place. i will say the artwork recently has been top notch however

For their weight class I can't imagine the fight going much longer than this with as many blows as they were trading. There's a reason decades of higher weight classes were dominated by long boring fights, and that's because once you start putting mass on you're risking a helluva lot by taking a punch.

I'm longing for the time when title getting fights were huge events. Like I get title defenses being washes but now even the challenges are becoming one sided beatdowns. I don't mind Takamura winning every fight, but make it exciting for god's sake!

Yeah having Lucky Guy essentially turn into Glass Joe after one clean hit is ultimately disappointing, not unheard of in boxing, but for dramatic purposes is kinda weak.

This fight was ok in my opinion. Not bad, but didn't come anywhere close to the previous Takamura title wins.

Dragon had gotten hit a lot over the match. He took far more then one clean hit. Anyway Takamura may not be able to make it too much farther in the ranks, If Super Middle is his proper weight class, then he is going to start fighting guys that hit harder and are bigger then him.

I don't mind Takamura winning every fight, but make it exciting for god's sake! We got spoiled by the Hawk/Eagle/Bison fights. This wasn't a terrible fight or anything but in the context of Takamura's prior title matches it is easily the weakest.

But I agreed that is a pretty weak strategy/conclusion to a World title bout.

edit: I'm thinking that Takamura might start talking to Ippo while riding on him and that this will somehow contribute to Ippo boxing againMonsterEnvy posted:Kamogawa. Morikawa is the author. Well.

At least Ippo's dreamin of his girl, better than when he'd be dreamin about the dog or the ring or whatever. Takamura's hog may have actually gotten bigger thanks to his third weight class conquering.
