Let me get this straight, the main reason I started watching this is because that picture reminded me of Shuffle!
Hate it or love it, Shuffle! is among the best harem shows I've ever seen.
But that's not all, when I saw that it's a Seinen, I imediately thought that I'd see something even more mature that Shuffle! (and more down to Earth - not that the angel/demon thing bugged me too much).
The first episode was astounding, the art was the first thing I noticed and let's be honest, it desevers a 10.
More importantly, the art is similar to Studio Key so my hopes increased tenfold
(Think Kanon
...
2006, Clannad, Air...See what I did there?)
High hopes heh?
Well let me tell you that my sweet little dream about a more realistic and mature Shuffle! was crushed to smithereens and thrown into the deepest pit of Tartarus.
No plot, no character development, not a seinen (FAR from being a seinen), no nothing except free fan service. If you're denying this fact, you're just lying to yourself.
I honestly gave it a 3 just because of the art, otherwise this show can be labeled as an epic failure or a big pile of rotten shit.
Am I mad? Oh yeah I'm mad, wasting a potentially kick ass anime just for this? Definitely the worst let down I ever experienced.

I'm really shocked that nobody wrote a review on this one yet so I'll break the ice for now.
I need to make this clear from the beginning: If fighting isn't your thing, drop this manga, it's not for you.
STORY 8
If you read the prequel and liked it, you'll love Tough!
But even if you started with this one, you won't be dissapointed, you don't really need to know what happened before to appreciate Tough!
As a fan of martial arts/full contact I can assure you that this manga is the real deal.
...
ART 10
I was really impressed by the art.
CHARACTER 9
I love all the characters in Tough!, antagonists included.
The most impressive one is Kiichi of course, he's what I would call a "real man", someone who'll respect his principles and promises no matter what.
The characters may not be developped too deeply like in other mangas but as I mentioned before, Tough! is a fighting manga, too much words are useless.
ENJOYMENT 9
Delightful to read thanks to the fights and the art but again, I may be repeating myself, this only applies if you're into full contact.
OVERALL 9
No need to explain why, this is a paradise for those who like/practice MMA.

Another martial art manga? Maybe so, but History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi has something special that makes you want to know more and more.
(...You will regret after reading the last chapiter simply because you'll have to wait another week for the next one)
"Fighting for the people I love", another cliché but trust me, this manga won't dissapoint you one bit.
Comedy, action, romance, drama - This manga has everything you need.
(No major spoils)
It begins like in most martial art manga where the protagonist is extremely weak but unlike most protagonists, Kenichi has 0 talent for martial art and will have to work much more than anyone.
He's a
...
big coward ('I'm not running away, this is a strategy retreat!!!") but he will learn how to deal with it thanks to his desire to protect the people he cares about (Especially Miu).
I appreciate the romantic side of the manga very much, the relationship between the Miu and Kenichi is slowly developping but it's obviously there.
Usually I hate Shonens for the mere fact that they forget to add some "love spice" into the mix, this one is different!
NB: Even if there is some romance in it, this is FAR from being a shojo.
Also unlike Naruto, Kenichi learns far more techniques, I got tired of that God damn Rasengan and Shadow clowns (see what I did there?)
The author doesn't forget about his characters and will developpe every single one. (*cough* unlike Bleach *cough*)
The art is very well done and the comedy is present in every single chapiter.
Conclusion:
If you're a fan of martial art, good romantic comedy and/or shonens in general, not reading this manga is a blasphemy.

I don't know for you guys, but when I started to watch Bleach I was like " WOW! THIS IS A PURE WIN!" and got addicted to it.
The first few arcs were just outstanding and I had the impression that it could keep on raising, but unfortunately I was wrong.
Bleach turned from an outstanding anime to a mediocre one because of the lack of imagination. It becomes more and more predictable with no real plot and to be honest, it's a shame for it's potential.
Persoanlly, I will no longer watch it even though I'll keep read the manga. Yes I still hope for
...
a comeback, I really wish for Bleach to become that unpredictable story with unusual characters it used to be.
