This review is in honor of my good friend HenwithTie my beloved sweetheart who suggested me this series in the first place. Honestly my mind was racing between an opening line about my favourite type of girls and an opening line about girls with abs but if I really think about it neither openings are good ideas so lets just get this over with. Description The series Im talking about this time is called SaotomeSenshu Hitakakusu both written and illustrated by Naoki Mizuguchi sensei. Tsukishima Satoru our main character throughout this series is a member of the boxing club at his local high school and despite his best efforts he cant seem to accomplish anything regarding boxing. On the contrary Yae Saotome a fellow member of the same club as Satoru is a prodigy when it comes to boxing and that is why when Saotome confesses to Satoru he initially refuses fearing that he might bevome a burden to her boxing career but ends up accepting in the end. When the coach finds out the two of them have started dating she makes Satoru into Saotomes coach as to aid them in their newlyfound love story. The story is a fairly classic Coming of Age Slice of Life which distinguishes itself thanks to its sporty boxing trope which is a really wellmade part of the story: The panels depicting fighting scenes are drawn with a great eye for realism which makes for pretty good scenes. Despite the premise being mostly about sports the manga has an overall fluffy and wholesome feeling to it given mostly by the fact that neither of the two boxers have any idea how to deal with their love story. The chapters themselves are not that long spanning from 10 to 20 pages each. That being said the series makes up for the short chapters by having a whole bunch of them 124 to be precise. Thoughts I picked up this manga during a phase of mine where I only ever read RomCom SoLs and if I hadnt done it at the time Id honestly read it again now. Dont get me wrong its nothing extraordinary but its easily able to make you smile which is a wonderful thing in a manga like this. Theres obviously quite a bit of fanservice involving abs but thats just to be exepected and honestly is welcome. The pacing of the manga is quite balanced not too fast and not too slow and both the lovestory storyline and the boxing storyline come to a good and fulfilling close a thing thats hard to find in these type of manga. Com to a close this manga is definetly a nice read for fellow sports manga enthusiasts to refresh themselves on something smileinducing easy to read which deserves a fair 8 out of 10 rating from me.
