Synopsis

Having suffered ruthless bullying for the better part of his life, 17-year-old Yu has become emotionally numb and dissociated from reality, no longer able to act like a normal human being. Although he possesses the exceptional talent to dodge punches, Yu prefers to let his perpetrators beat him down as he finds no meaning in his survival.

Things begin to look up when Yu meets an old boxing trainer nicknamed "K." Having raised five champions, K's years of experience and an impressive gut feeling allow him to recognize Yu's near-superhuman fighting charisma immediately. K rushes to take Yu under his wing, despite the latter's apparent lack of interest.

However, after being reminded of a bright memory from the past, Yu has a change of heart and accepts K's offer, hoping to experience the same light once again. Thus, Yu enters a world full of formidable adversaries—righteous and monstrous alike—and for the first time ever, he has no choice but to fight back.

Reviews

Jul 15, 2024
Ji-Hoon Jeong, also known as JH and famous for being one of the most thought-provoking Korean webtoon authors around, has graced us with his most ambitious—and easily the most accomplished work to date, finally expanding his range from imaginative but borderline surrealistic dystopian parables to a more grounded, lived-in narrative setting. It feels almost cozy in comparison but aims for the same heights when it comes to writing quality.

The Boxer tells the story of Yu, a silent, emotionless boxer whose intense mental trauma coming from a childhood of abuse has given him a savant-like ability to perceive time as if in a slow motion. Yu ...

Mixed Feelings
La obra es bastante repetitiva, va orientada a la psicología de los personajes y la verdad es que hay capítulos enteros que te hablan de personajes secundarios que únicamente sirven de escalón para que nuestro protagonista siga avanzando y se hace algo pesado, al inicio es entretenida pero al final se hace aburrida a mi gusto. El protagonista es un emo que ha tenido una vida dura y la cual no conocemos hasta el final de la obra, y el entrenador es un tronao que te apetecería chafarle la cabeza contra el suelo por lo enfermo que está. El romance del prota con la chica ...

Preliminary (30/123 eps)
Never have i read a story without a single good character, even the worst shows have at least one, but this is an exception.
Art ugly,, the fight with jahad may be the ugliest most boring fight in history. And him just running away is the worst ending to a fight in manga/manhua history, if jahad was atleast a funny or interesting character or had a compelling backstory I wouldnt mind him, but he has nothing. Atleast the first fight there was an attempt to give the character some personality(but its hot garbage).
Story bland. I mean theres no emotion and he doesnt even develop as a ...
