This is a pretty realistic fighting manga , as realistic as works of fiction can get concerning the subject of fighting , and from what little information there is on it on the net , seems like that was it's downfall.

Gekiryuuchi starts off promising, becomes some-what weak by the middle and leads to an almost rushed ending.
While the story-line and motivation that drives the lead character seem strong in the early part of the manga, the mere 25 chapters the story had to work with just isn't enough to completely carry through that strength to the finale and thus the manga concludes in something of a hurry and leaves me feeling a bit let down considering all of the hype in the early chapters.
