![]() Everything from the story, to the characters, to the jokes, and sometimes even the art, I enjoyed it as a whole, aswell as separately. I hadn't considered the fact that I would enjoy it so completely. However, with Hajime no Ippo, it was almost unexpected. This level of enjoyment is something I have felt with other series, such as One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, and others. It took most of my day, but I couldn't stop. When I started, I read the first eight volumes straight. When I started reading, I felt compelled to continue until I could find a point in the manga where the story took a break from the main plot for a quick breather, and that is where I felt myself pausing to stop. The most enjoyable thing about this manga is that once you start reading, its very hard to stop, even to take a break. Regardless of that fact, Morikawa-sensei still gets credit for keeping the manga's continuity in tact, even after 76 volumes. This is something that doesn't necessarily take away from the enjoyment of the manga, however it can be hard for some to accept. This can make it hard for some people to enjoy as they may be thinking "What the hell is he wearing that for? He looks stupid". The only drawback to the main portion of the art is that in the manga only a few years have passed, even though in the real world over a decade has passed, so the characters still wear fashion statements from then. The action scenes move fluidly and vividly almost as if they're playing out like a finely directed film. The drawings of the action scenes take precedence over most of the other art. Keep in mind that he started this in the late 80's, so the drawing style clearly reflects the era. In the beginning its not as defined as it gets later on, as Morikawa-sensei is just starting out. The drawing style, at first, takes awhile to get used to. Morikawa-sensei takes great pride in his characters, and he shows it with the level of detail put into each characters strengths and weaknesses. Each character brings something unique to the plot, whether it be Ippo's sense of loyalty to his coach, and not wanting to let him down, or Takamura's sense of his own strength.Įach character's own unique backstory comes into play at some point or another, and only helps to bring the characters greatness out. Some are not as unique as others, however they all have they're own unique stories going on, and they're all intertwined very well. The characters in this story are all hilarious. However, the author brings his unique wit, with his extensive knowledge of the sport to this manga to make it very enjoyable. The plot is a general plot encountered in most sports shounen manga. ![]() Thus begins his long road into the boxing world. Ippo was shocked at the strength of the boxer, and wondered if he, too, could change himself, and what it meant to be strong. ![]() Until a fateful day he encountered a Boxer, who helped him. Makunouchi Ippo was always picked on in school, even in Highschool. ![]()
