Red blue has the most realistic depiction of Mixed Martial arts in manga that I've seen, it uses techniques, strategies and training methods actually used by real life fighters with very little animefication. Reading this manga feels like watching an actual real life MMA fight is being shown with hardly any exaggeration of the techniques or strategies. Out of all the fighting manga out there Red Blue is the closest one to one of real life fighting.

The art style is very clear and easy to understand so you never get lost or don't understand what's happening in a fight. the Character designs are simple but ... effective. You can easily see so much of the personality and even the fighting styles of each character through their design alone.

The cast is also very solid, though the star of the show is the mc (Aoba), he is a weirdo outcast that you can't help but love because of his hilariously quirky personality. He carries the comedy aspect of this manga near single-handedly with his incredibly odd behaviors and blunt way of speaking, while being an absolute badass when he fights. Aoba is undoubtedly the best part of this manga and he is an absolute joy to watch.

If you're a fan/practitioner of Martial arts Red Blue is a must read but even if you're not a MMA fan Aoba is enough of a reason to watch Red Blue..
