Inheriting a fishing boat business and habitually belittled, the young lad Makunouchi Ippo encounters with Takamura Mamoru, who later becomes a world champion, propels him into the exhilarating life of boxing. This manga notably illustrates the journey of Ippo as he enters the Kamogawa boxing gym, striving to become a legendary pugilist. A unique feature of this narrative is its meticulous depiction of the battles between comrades and rivals, establishing it as a long-standing serialization and one of the marquee manga of the ‘Weekly Shōnen Magazine’ during the Heisei era. Each chapter is punctuated by a sequential number such as "Round. ○○", and similarly recorded as “R109” in the Fan Book.
The manga illuminates the distinguished personas of boxing history through its many characters, artfully recreating the symbolism of “Even with a flash of glory, one remains an unknown soldier in the world” within this imaginative tale. Morikawa, the manga author, also frequently interacts with the boxing world, encouraging young competitors through his published messages.
