Description:
No more cooking, on to sports manga: boxing. The main characters are Katsuki and Katsuki.
One is a boy, the other a girl, and at first they both seem not very interested in boxing at all.
While the drawing style seems old fashioned, this is a recent manga. Also while the author
doesn't use much detail to draw girls (like Katsuki), she still ends up looking "damn fine!"
most of the time...
You forget to mention the most important part!
This manga is from Mitsuru Adachi, who is very famous in Japan but is (unfortunately) little known in the western world (except Italy). He started to professionally draw mangas in the seventies and made his first big success in the eighties with Touch. He was one of the first mangaka to pass the 100 million sold takubons mark in 1989. Many of his mangas were adapted to long running animes.
His most famous works include: Touch, Rough, Slow Step and H2.
Katsu is his most recent manga and still running (?).
If you don't know Adachi then you better get to know him now!
