Here lies Ipoo, He Never Scored. No seriously, break up with her and go to your true love, Sendo. Fun and entertaining issue lots of tension and Kumi getting fed up. Jiro fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Apr 25, 2023 |

Ytlaya posted:I hope that Mashiba uses this opportunity to tell Ippo to man up and do something. I feel like the "twist" here is going to be that Mashiba is annoyed at Ippo's inaction, rather than being angry about him dating Kumi. I mean, stringing one's sibling along for literal years is a pretty worthy thing to be angry about.

Shinjobi posted:He's wanting to know if Kumi will be taken care of regardless of how the next match goes for him. Mashiba is gonna try to cross "the line." He's afraid. Him just being pissed someone is dating his sister would be too obvious and we've already done that multiple times. Even this manga isn't that repetitive

I unironically and genuinely think this is the moment that we finally move forward. Mori has never been THAT blatant with them before, they've come close to kissing a few times but this was multiple times in quick succession and a pretty blatant acknowledgment of what Ippo was there for, + Kumi flat out saying that she wanted some movement. Also having a decent feel for Morikawa's writing style, I think he made this chapter comedic so he could do some tonal whiplash at the start of next chapter

It is, though I think Ippo is still under the impression that Mashiba is angry at the idea of him dating Kumi in the first place. tbp posted:I unironically and genuinely think this is the moment that we finally move forward.

Same, I think it's finally time. I feel like the comic is finally actually moving ever since the retirement arc started.

the pee-wee's great adventure eyes in the dark, I can't stop giggling at them also lmao ippo casually dropping a "you'd make a great second" on page 10 and none of them realizing that when ippo says that he means "I love you"

~558, it's the eagle fight I think technically the anime ends with the kamogawa flashback tho which happens earlier in the manga

Do you imagine this as one hit, or multiple hits?

Maybe Mashiba will make Ippo fight him before he will accept him as Kumi's boyfriend. Ippo beating the poo poo out of his sparring partners before their important fights has worked out well for them recently!

i like that ippo "taking mashiba's side" is also him talking to himself about kumi/boxing. it's a neat way to have ippo "realize the point" of kumi's general antagonism to the idea of him returning to boxing. like he says "even if he's going about it the wrong way, i don't think you can blame someone doing all of that for you". it gives kumi a chance to realize her own frustrations with ryou are mirrored with ippo/boxing, she may be "going about it the wrong way" but ippo can't really blame her at the same time. neat dynamic

Great chapter, I like that they're actually finally discussing this stuff. It's a low bar, but a lot (honestly probably most) of non-romance manga* will just be like "and Protagonist ended up with Love Interest" during the last chapter/epilogue. * in the sense of "romance isn't their primary genre" Edit: I should use this as an excuse to contact this old friend I haven't spoken with in like 10 years (who was also into Ippo). Just be like "yo Ippo is finally getting with Kumi." Way back in college we both got really deep into weight-lifting due to Ippo. I remember getting super pumped at the Ippo/Sendo climax scene from the original anime series lol. I'd watch it before going to the gym.
