One of the most influential manga ever made, and still a gut-punch — a boxing tragedy that burns brighter than almost anything since, dated art and all.

Reviews
Every review labels its spoiler level, separates art from writing, and ends with an official way to read.
How we score
We use the whole 1–10 scale and judge each title against the best version of what it is trying to be — a comedy on how funny it is, a thriller on its tension — not against some other genre. As a rough guide: 9+ is all-time great, 8 excellent, 7 a solid recommendation with caveats, 5–6 mixed or average. A 7 is a genuine yes, not a knock. The “Community score” in each review is the crowd rating from AniList, MAL, and MangaUpdates, shown next to ours for comparison.
