Really, after reading the latest chapter all I can think of is
WTF!!!!
I've being a fan of this series since day 1 when I was still back in Taiwan, I know the pace is slow, but they always serves some story purposes and is is one of few realistic Shonen action Manga with no fantasy element. But lately it has became slower than snail's pace.
The fights are getting more and more disappointing. The whole series was based upon realistic boxing (as manga can be) in real live situation. But past couple of fight you are seeing some really outlandish fights that make it seems like more of Prince of Tennis than Hajime no Ippo.
But this is ridiculous, we're 5 chapters into the fight and no punch was thrown? Even worse these 5 chapters can really be condensed to 2 or 3 chapters and still have same impact. I was hoping this would restore my faith to this series, but it's really trying now...
