This year's ninth issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine included the final chapter of Takuya Mitsuda's Buyuden boxing manga on Wednesday. Mitsuda explained that the manga is ending due to poor sales. Shogakukan will publish the 12th compiled book volume on February 18, and the 13th and final volume on March 18.
Mitsuda launched the series in March 2011. The story follows a bored honors student who discovers and becomes devoted to boxing.

Mitsuda ended his Major manga series in 2010 after a 16-year run. The manga inspired its first television anime series in 2004, and the sixth television anime series ended in 2010. The manga also inspired two original anime videos and an anime film.

a pathetic ending but I can understand why it happend. This story lost its love element in the main character which was a severe blow. And the main character lost his uniqueness and basically became the guy from major.


It's pathetic that he tried to turn this into major like that. The mangaka still needed some time to let "Major" fade from his system it seems.


If the story had ended with them still kids I think it would have been fine and there wouldn't have been the need for the girl to quit. But he was already thinking of how it'd be like Major and all about his life, too bad, they should have given the cancel order earlier.


Alternatively, the girl becoming a chubby cute was pretty awesome, and her having to move on is fine too, and becoming his trainer isn't bad either but that somewhat failed since she didn't help out a gym anywhere in the interim. The problem has to do with the fact that the guy lost his character traits to become the "major" guy. I think the love component was really that major. Just look at green boy, and to a lesser extent suzuka. It would have been hard to keep the boy's arrogance alive but I think a korean manwha artist could have done it. Compared to when he was a kid he wanted to really date her but then he got all Major guy and didn't want to till he was a champ for no reason.

Well there's already green boy and ashita no joe when it comes to romance and a good story so it's not that anyone will be hard up. I thought the characters and their designs all had potential.

I haven't read Major but I would think I feel the same as you. The main character seems to be over powered towards the end. The girl also gets hung up on the whole death thing. I think it would have been fine if they stayed kids too. It felt like the mangaka was trying to put too many arcs in the story. Reading felt like driving home and hitting every red light, constantly needing to adjust to plot.
I also agree with the wtf thing about him not saying he likes her even though he pretty much says it all the time through out the series. roll eyes

Props for the Green Boy and Suzuka plugs. Very good ones.
