Description
Makunochi Ippo is an ordinary high school student in Japan. Since he spends most of his time away from school helping his mother run the family business, he doesn't get to enjoy his younger years like most teenagers. Always a target for bullying at school, Ippo's life is one of hardship. One of these after-school bullying sessions turns Ippo's life around for the better, as he is saved by a boxer named Takamura. He decides to follow in Takamura's footsteps and train to become a boxer, giving his life direction and purpose. Ippo's path to perfecting his pugilistic prowess is just beginning.

OMG I almost had a heart attack I laughed so hard.This is far and way THE BEST manga I have read so far.
in terms of how the matches go. After reading 900+ chapters, what seems to be the winning factor is how tough you are, if Morikawa-sensei planned to let one character win then that character would keep getting up and up, no matter how badly beaten he was. It made sense for awhile, until the formula was so played out that almost every matches with Ippo in it became so long drawn out until the inevitable "he finally did it" moment.
Boring? Not quite as I still want to keep reading but it's such a shame if this series follow the pattern of 2-dimensional generic shounen.

Ok first off this manga owns all. I just totally love Ippo. Even tho he is like kinda weak minded. I mean im a fan of Sports manga, and this isnt even just for men. Im sure Morikawa has tons of girl fans too. Like me hehe. Im just kinda fed up with Ippos and Kumi's relationship, haha leave it to a girl to mention that, but ugh just say it already!!
Thing most i look forward to if it ever happens is a match between Ricardo and Ippo.

I grew up with ippo, enjoyed his growth, the slapstick and surprises. This isn't really a spoiler, but a heads up: somewhere between chapter 1200 and 1350 was a very dull arc full of repeating tropes, irrelevant cliffhangers, & standstill story deprived of insight into character & plot motivations. At around chapter 1350, the content started to be more thoughtful, but I hope they move the character development along a as we're nearing almost 200 chapters at a standstill.

but itagaki just reeeeeallly annoys me those last couple of chapters in which he starred kinda pissed me off.
I am now a full fledged un repentant otaku. I like all types of manga not just sports or even shounen but i admit without hesitation that hajime no ippo is the absolute best. I have read dozens of manga and i'm sure to name this one in the top five for sure!!!!
P.S. this manga is older than i am!!!!!

but I love this manga! As a matter of fact after becoming addicted to this I looked on hbo to check out boxing. Come to find out I really enjoyed it, and this series helped me to understand this sport as well. I eagerly await more releases.
This, is my favorite manga. The fights, the humor, the awesomeness, all of it. I cannot think of anything, I would add or change to this manga. Seriously. To those of you who have said Ippo hasn't changed or grown at all, seriously? Are you insane? The kid who couldn't socialize with anyone, and was a total wimp, who now can talk with girls, kicks more ass then Popeye? If you missed the chapters
Go read this its worth every second.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Where Ippo confessed to Kumi, but she had fallen asleep, please go back and read those and tell me he didn't change.
Go read this its worth every second.
