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.

I’ve read most of the top ten on this website and this is easily the best. It’s unfortunate it’s not ranked number 1. The themes and meaning behind the boxer are so incredible, it can take time and multiple reads if interpreting a story is not your thing, but it is 100% worth it for the boxer. Unfortunately some people may not see the depth of the story and take it surface level. I have read it 5 times now and still learn new things and love the story even more. 11/10 best I have ever read. The book helps you realize everyone unique story ...

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 ...
