This and berserker, i feel like have been reading them forever. First released in 89 and still going. Wonder how much more of the outdrawn fight scenes we can take?

For me the fight scenes werent outdrawn till the Voli/Woli fight....especially that fan of Ippo with that 2 ton boxing machine punch.....who got 1 hit ko'd but took like 10 chapters for it to happen lol.

I really don't enjoy the pace of hajime no ippo, the fights are always the same shit, the exchange infinite sure kill punchs, then the guys with more guts win, usually ippo. That wolf and black guy who i forgot the name, it's on t"his time end for sure" for while. in the 1000 chapter nothing happened, he just repeat the i set up the plan thing.

It's getting repetitive, fights goes on and on like 30 chapters. There's isn't really that much difference b/w chapters. I'm pretty surprise that Ippo still holds that JP title for like what? since chapter 300-400 something. When is he going to challenge Miyata or World title.
The author is just in it for money and not the interest for the readers. Such a disappointment!! similar!!!

But isn´t money the best? Ippo this one is one of the better "endless runners" of the industry but i could drop it soon if things don´t get better in a year or so. Some story needs to return soon. The last development was years ago... maybe?
Edit: Things got better. Thank god.
