Hajime no Ippo officially arrives in English
Kodansha's K Manga online library announced that the ever-popular boxing manga, Hajime no Ippo has just arrived on its website. Currently, only 10 volumes of the long-running series are available, but K Manga promises to release new chapters every week. With any luck, readers will finally see the whole story of Ippo Makunouchi in official English.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Hajime no Ippo is easily one of the most recognizable sports stories to come out of Japan, and has given fans a still ongoing manga over a hundred volumes long, along with an equally lengthy anime adaptation. Despite its influence, it has only now officially come Westward and in English with the K Manga releases.
What does it feel like to be strong? That's the question on the mind of Ippo Makunouchi, a clumsy high-school kid who gets bullied a lot.
The news officially broke on September 26 via K Manga's official X Account, which proudly announced that it was now hosting the first 87 chapters of Hajime no Ippo, subtitled "Fighting Spirit!" to match the original localized title from the anime. This equals the first ten volumes of a series that's hit 138 and is still ongoing; author Joji Morikawa himself claims the story is only halfway finished.
The weekly updates are a good sign that K Manga fully intends to cater to new Western audiences despite being years behind Japanese readers. Even if the English chapters will lag behind, readers will eventually find new storylines. While many fans follow the anime, Madhouse's last episode was in 2014, meaning the manga has a near decade's worth of extra material. Either way, the internet now has an official source for more Ippo Makunouchi.
