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.

Ippo's latest fight with that magician guy (ch780) is just stupid. It doesn't even resemble boxing anymore. The mangaka just need to cut it out with all the weird illusions, tricks and voodoo crap. He's trying too hard, and the result is not cool and mysterious, just irritating. Go back to the way boxing is suppose to be. I'd rather see another monotonous "slugfest" than one more match filled with these petty mind games and psychological deception. It's just too stupid.
By the way, this is one hell of a manga. Don't look down on it because of my earlier comment. I just wanted to rant on that one particular match. There are many many other impressive matches throughout this manga. Hence the 10/10 rating...

Very good but repetitive slow moving and annoying at times. Ippo is the least impressive main character you will ever encounter and I'd rather the author showcase a will of steel and blazing confidence than a weak minded doormat but thats just me.

One of the best series I've ever read. I only gave it a 9 because there's too much focus on Miyata and Itagaki nowadays and I'm quite sick of reading about how wonderful they are when there are far more interesting characters out there. Either rename the series Hajime no Miyatagaki or give me a break!
i'ts best manga ever...enough said
it has everything you could ever want, action, comedy, drama, strong characters, funny charcters, romance, it's the best.....period, read it if you haven't
great art as well

This is a wonderful manga that I just happened to start reading by chance. I read most of it within 3 days and couldn't wait for more. After the scans slowed a bit I started watching the anime which oso just as capturing for me. the feelings this manga gets across to the reader and the relationships among the many characters you get caught up in is one i've read in few other places. just say today in chapter 824 that theyre continuing the ippo anime in jan 2009 =DD
The first 30 volume has been decent the least. Though i can now understand why comebacks mostly happen, in a way it does make sense since he fight stronger opponent each time. Of course the comedy stand out the most for me. Takamura is just hilarious, i can't help but laufg on their stupidity. Though are also a bit downside since the main character remain naive and weak mentally. He did not grow at all. Despite my complain this manga is worth to read all 80+ volumes that are currently out

No words for this! Suberb! This is the best Sports manga I've ever seen! Loads of characters and the plot is not only centered on 1 char. Amazing fights and comebacks. Loads of technical stuff and very high on realism.
The characters are very depth and its one of the funniest I've ever seen.
Has true moments of joy where I just can't stop laughing!
best manga ever, for me at least
