Description
This is a mixed martial arts fighting Manga about the Miyazawa school of martial arts. Initially, it is about Kiichi trying to heal his father after he was nearly killed by his brother Kiryu. But then it goes on to be less about that as his father recovers and some tournament style fighting begins. At that point various apparently overwhelming opponents will encounter Kiichi on his way to the top. The objectives of the various characters start to play a more and more important role, as well as the different philosophical projections of several martial arts and disciplines. (Somewhat maybe like a modern day Samurai story.) This is also a continuation of Koko Tekken-den Tough which followed the main character, Kiichi, when he was younger and was training under his father Seiko Miyazawa. (Knowing the prequel isn't necessary at all.)

if you like baki/garouden/riki oh/"insert any fighting manga name here", you will like this.
its pretty good for martial arts manga fans as it seems to be pretty well researched. and extremely well drawn, especially the fight scenes.
YOU DONT REALLY NEED TO READ THE PREQUEL FIRST, AS ALL IS EXPLAINED AS YOU GO, PRETTY MUCH

If you like action and martial art mangas you might like Tough. You will not find anything deep in Tough though. Most dialogues are flat, the story is a linear, opponent, stronger opponent, stronger opponent, which will ultimately end with the "Battle king". If you like Vagabond or Blade of the immortal and appreciate mangas that go ddeper, then Tough is a Manga for teens.
Anyhow, Saruwatari can draw GREAT fights. He is one of the best out there. Fights are dynamic, interesting and clear, he lets you feel speed and pain and that's how fights should be. Only pain in the ass is the Voice Off often commenting the fight "Oh that's really a unique technique" and honestly, he could have spared us that Naruto like crap.
A 6 all in all cause art is clear and nice, characterization is not so bad either.

| Which first? by henki8 on June 2nd, 2008, 3:51pm |

| I'm confused, should I read Koko Tekken-den TOUGH first then Tough? But Koko Tekken-den TOUGH is a 42 voulme manga and only up to voulme 2 is scaned...then why is Tough already being scaned? |

[edit by mod: SPOILERS AHEAD]
Almost no plotline, not much character progress, Art is , well, 9/10. And the fatal weakness of fighting manga: NO CHICK. There's one or two pages with naked chicks but that dont count. No girls or women. Man, that's boring.
Well, as of c23, one female fighter appear. And maybe, just maybe it will get better in future. But I wont held my breath.
If you just like fighting scenes alone, this manga will give you plenty of them. So that's one good point for it. |
