So, Imangascans picked up Full Contact-THANK GOD, ryColaa was never going to put more on-so slow!
So we're at the second volume, introducing the Newcomer Tournament! I'm currently at chapter 9 so, I don't know much yet.
Ryuuchi and Shio decided to join it. Main competitor of the tournament is Narita, sort of like a prodigy who only recently started karate like Ryuuchi-nevermind, he started a few months earlier- don't know if that's around the same..anyway is at Akabane Bushinkan-where Ryuu's old crush is...blah blah blah, everyone expects Narita to win it! Guessing they're going to make high expectations of Ryuuchi.But Shio? I personally love him, I think he's like the black horse of the tournament, no one really notices him. He's also being trained by Wakayama, so you can't count him out. So I reread the chapters, and noticed the 2nd volume chapter names, one chapter says The Dark Horse Shows Up. Honestly, I can't ever remember the saying Dark Horse and usually I say Black instead...But I'm willing to say that dark horse is Shio!
So who do you think is going to win or be farthest (you never know, they all might lose..) in the tournament? I kind of wish to read the raws, actually I wish a lot!

I want Shio to barely win. or that he beats the crap out of Narita afterwards or something XP.
And that he considers confessing to that girl but doesnt because his feelings arent sincere this way or something. And instead says something to the other girl (not a confession these type of manga dont seem to work that way XD). Propably something like thanks for your help or something 😛
If this manga sticks to cliché plots, then Shio should win somehow. Either that or he loses dramatically and 'learns from the experience'. He should also get over his first crush as well.
I'm just talking from a stereotypical point of view from what I've seen before. Who knows, maybe this will surprise me and steer in a different direction.
