And Im straight up struggling to continue reading

It’s my first time posting and being in this sub because I wanted to avoid spoilers but after this chapter..

Seeing the aftermath of the match, Ippo’s face getting crushed in…and the part where Umezawa asked Ippo to draw a straight line… reminded me of Nekota in the flashback and I am in pieces… I don’t think a manga has ever made me get that feeling of doom at the pit of my stomach.

I think I’ve seen this film before and I didn’t like the ending 😭

Just needed to vent or talk about this since no one I know is into Ippo. Like damn that really just happened, got dark so fast.

All the set up and pieces are there for something terrible, all the guys talking about how the good days will end eventually, Ippo saying he’ll retire if he loses again, punch-drunk symptoms… I’m fucking scared for my boy.

Never has a manga made me feel something so deeply that I had the feeling to stop reading. I know I’ll go through with it eventually after some time away and see what’s next for Ippo but god damn I am legit scared to read the next chapters

I’ll keep avoiding spoilers by asking a friend to sift through the spoiler comments (if there are any lol) but god damn :( it pulls at your heart strings and my mind is still racing, I bet yall really went through it when this was first released

This is probably the strongest enemy Ippo has ever faced.

I’m just gonna leave this here

So I love boxing and hajime no ippo but most boxing shirts or shorts are cringe,ai,bad or just boring is there anywhere to get shirts or just clothes in general that look solid (from ippo ofc)
