Tomo enfocado en el debut profesional de Ippo, la verdad me gusta mucho esta rivalidad con Miyata que se va presentando poco a poco, no puedo esperar a que aparezcan los demás, en especial Sendo y Alexander
Ippo esordisce sul ring nel suo primo incontro da pugile professionista contro Oda. Quest’ultimo ce la mette tutta per vincere perché se ci riesce sa che potrà continuare a praticare la boxe e a uscire con la sua ragazza, che stufa di vederlo così svogliato, gli ha dato l’ultimatum. Ma i pugni di Ippo, quando imboccano la strada giusta, sembrano inarrestabili perché se Miyata ha il suo counter e Mashiba il suo flicker jab, la potenza di Ippo sta nel suo singolo colpo. La sua prima vittoria è indimenticabile ed è di una tenerezza incredibile vedere Ippo così felice mentre festeggia e si diverte con i suoi compagni della palestra.
Finally heading into the original problem of the bullies, I thought that was missing and it looks like they’re gonna be a bit more to the story. Ippo’s first pro fight was great. A lot of stakes so I’m looking forward to more of this as we continue.

Ippo gets his first opponent in his debut match, a slacker named Oda Yusuke who refuses to train hard because he has so much faith in his powerful right. When Yusuke's girlfriend overhears Ippo's friends making fun of Yusuke, she tells her boyfriend that he has to win the match or they're through. This motivates Yusuke to train really hard. During the match, Ippo's eye is cut. Just before the referee was going to give Yusuke a TKO however, Ippo manages to knock him out. At the end of the volume, he's working on his peek-a-boo defense with his trainer but biting his thumbs while mitt punching.
Decent. I am liking the art more, especially for the action scenes. I was a little surprised that the volume didn't pick up from somewhere in the pro-test. There was more in the anime from that. This is also the volume where Umezawa, Ippo's former bully, switches sides and begins to befriend him.

Really love Hajime no ippo!! Easily my favorite sports manga/anime, it’s a lot more than just the boxing! Great character development and story outside the sports part!😁👌🥊🥊❤️
