Manga thread: Katsu! [Boxing/Romance/High School]
So I figure I'd try this out... I'll post up a manga, a chapter every other day or so and people can read it online and whatever...
I'll only post up unlicensed in the US manga thats been fan translated to english.
This is Mitsuru Adachi's Katsu!
quote:
Katsuki Satoyama and his best friend Kyōta Kawakami, both age 15, enroll in Mizutani Boxing Gym to get close to their tomboyish crush, Katsuki Mizutani, whose father owns it. However, Satoyama soon finds out that she is distant from her father. Worse, it turns out that she hates boxing.
In a sparring match, everyone soon discovers Satoyama's hidden, yet unpolished, skill in boxing.
If you haven't read japanese comics before then you should know that they read from RIGHT to LEFT...
Katsu!

i've tried reading manga in the past but it just bores me when i know i could just watch the animated version of it, not to mention most manga comes in black and white . i know people who can really get into it but i guess i can't see what they see.
BUT i'll check this out, see if it stills bores me

I don't think there is an animated version of this. His earlier works from the 80's were animated after their manga runs.
Check it out, its an OK story. I wanted to post up one of his first mangas, but I figure a story with boxing might be a bit more interesting. Most of his stories involve high school sports.

Thanks, haven't read any of that before. I don't have much experience in manga since I've only read Chobits, some Love Hina and like one chapter of Death Note so far but I will check this out later when I have more time
