Hey i'm pretty new to HnI. Just finished Volume 33 and was wondering if Ippo and Kumi's relationship get's any sort of development or anything? I love this Manga and the romance is the only thing so far that i would call "bad". I know it's a Shonen and romance isn't the main focus but it just makes me feel frustrated with Ippo's character (a character that i really learned to love over the course of the manga). Like, GROW SOME B*LLS, MAN.

Edit: thx for the replies. Seems that it doesn't improve sadly. Ngl that does kinda make me like Ippo a little less but not completely ruined. He was my 2nd favorite but now he's probably down to 3rd or 4th.

Go doing roadwork for ippo sake

I Just want to know.

If it's possible may someone tell me why he don't fight anymore? I know is a lazy question but.. it is what it is

I’ve been re-reading Hajime no Ippo, and I need aoki’s arc. I also would not mind having it come before Ippo’s return. I have been dying to know if Aoki can really win against Iga. Especially after Oushima set up.

I've watched the main series on crunchy roll, but I always come across clips that I've seemed to miss from the story. Is there a movie series after the show? I've tried looking on CR but couldn't find anything.

I want to read

As the title says, this show makes me extremely emotional and it's weird af. I would be reading the manga and the chapter is normal af nothing sad or hype is happening, but sometimes I just get emotional and cry for no obvious reason

Does this happen to someone else or am I weird

Let’s be real, a 4th season of Ippo probably isn’t happening. But even if it did, it’s gotta pick up at one of the worst major arcs of the entire series, and it’s a LONG one. Some of the worst, most absurd fights, Ippo fully evolving into a face tank, etc. If a season came out that is solely the pacific champion arc, I think a lot of anime-only fans would be pretty disappointed.

Ippo is obviously an incredibly long series with a lot of great content to adapt, but for the anime to even approach the later chapters, it’d need its worst stretch to somehow be a great success as an anime that hasn’t gotten a season in 10 years. I just don’t see this happening.

I’ve seen a lot of people online thinking a 4th season is becoming more likely, but the anime is just in such a bad spot to continue an adaptation from.

Idk how kamogawa would do that but lets just say he feinted.

Same

I wanted to read the manga again just to hype myself up for Ippo's eventual comeback, so yeah, this got me wondering.

I’ve been rereading HNI and I’m at Takamura vs Eagle, and tbh I think this is one of the chapters where I dislike Takamura’s behavior. I understand he had a goal and it was the smart thing to do but I can’t help but respect Eagle more as a fighter. What do yall think, I personally think Takamura was wrong for his actions however I understand the sentiment he had.
