the character development, the fighting scenes, the blood, the crazy look in his eyes!!! I just don't know how to express how amazing this manga is. I was never bored at any point and I was always excited to find out what was going to happen next! I have to say that I am so happy that I found this manga and I hope to find more like it! the best part is that there is no frilly annoying romance scenes! its all pure fighting like a manga in the fighting genre should be!

A great manga that is more than just fighting. I think people who can not understand that will have a hard time enjoying this story. Read it, I am sure there is at least one thing you can learn from it.

This comic is awesome! I like the main charachter Yuu alot. I really like the art in this comic. Kouji Mori has really cool style of drawing. I really like the narration too. I've been taught most of the tricks i know about fighting from this comic. I hope this gets put out in book form in english soon. I'm going to try writing to comic companies to try and convince them to print it. This is an awesome comic

Not too bad!

I definitely enjoyed this. It can be a little slow at times, but it's worth the read! The ending is a bit disappointing to say the least, but it's an entertaining read up to it. Especially if you like martial arts.

Stupid final arc.

by MondSemmel

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

The first ~14v (incl chapter ~138) are pretty amazing, and in contrast to some others I very much enjoyed the description of martial arts tactics, but the penultimate arc and the ending are both pure bullshit.

It's a drug war. The bad guy takes over the whole town with his huge team of... three fighters. Meanwhile, our protagonists dick around and let it happen.

Then in v17 Yuu's girlfriend Mai is taken hostage (fair enough) and Yuu reacts by letting himself get hit until he can no longer defend anyone. What is that supposed to accomplish?! Nothing, as anyone could have predicted beforehand. And then, that same scene STILL SOMEHOW TURNS INTO A ONE-ON-ONE FIGHT, and the tone completely changes from utter despair to standard fight, WTF.

Some better solutions: turning it into a hostage exchange (i.e., "release her or I'll kill you") or, better yet, CALLING THE POLICE asdf.

Basically, things go wrong in this arc because the protagonists act like idiots solely for plot reasons. (TV Trope: Idiot Ball) And then there's the insanely inconsistent tone:

Drugs are destroying the lives of our friends! Mai was kidnapped! Let's respond with standard 1v1 duels, no permanent or lethal violence, and a friendly talk, standard nonlethal duel and absurdly amicable resolution with the boss responsible for the drug distribution. Yuu, what happened to your desire for revenge?!

And the final volume is no better.

Yuu wins vs. Izawa because he's powered up throughout the series while Izawa didn't become stronger at all.
And afterwards Yuu gets stabbed for no reason, and apparently walks away bleeding instead of calling an ambulance with the mobile phone he'd used moments before. And then we get a pointless 3-year timeskip for no reason. What kind of stab wound to the stomach takes three years to heal?

Holy F%$#ing Amazing Land

Oh man this manga....Just so perfect. The story, characters, and emotions are so real and are developed perfectly. I really loved how Yuu and Shougo's characters progressively found themselves. I also like the parallels each character gives to one another, plus the action is too addicting! And that plot twist ending, man I thought I was gonna be bawling for a while. I really like also how even the 'side-kick' -esque characters would have their spotlight, and there were really no minor characters, because everyone was together and united. Just bottom line everyone should read this, it goes beyond just a regular underdog story, has relate-able characters, and a story that's a Legend within a Legend.

Nice and realistic

by butako chan

I really liked the way the author was able to show the growth of Kamishiro from the beginning to end. Also, the art and direction of the story was consistent, which is great. I appreciate how the fights are realistic and thoroughly explained, it added my understanding of what was happening. Additonally, the fights didn't grow in magnitude until the main characters had power levels of super saiyans. It was believable, while maintaining a feeling of tension in many of the fights. Thank you! One of the things I can criticize is the predictability and pacing of the story. At times, I feel like some scenes just drag on for a little longer than necessary, causing me to lose some interest...The art was also a little iffy to me, but that's a small detail. I am glad the characters don't look like clones of each other. To conclude, I overall found this to be a great read!

This manga is driven by its characters.All of them have their own problems and they are trying to find answers to some of the difficult questions in life. Its a story of self discovery and even redeeming your own self esteem. The action in itself is amazing,however, it isn't unrealistic like many manga's out there.

Absolutely amazing, everything i like in a manga, the characters are good, the plot is much better than the typical fighting manga, it is as realistic as a manga gets and the technical notes about the fights are really cool, this is the height of seinen manga

I mean, the characters are so touching...at first it was awkward and all, but it's one of those in which you can't stop reading...and at the end it's like: men, he didn't need a bunch of chapters to get to an answer...it has answers and questions, and ...he the mangaka doesn't drag it...he just..i'm a girl and I want to fight!
