i always thought working backwards would be a good idea

seriously i too originally thought you might pick up where the anime was but don't take me the wrong way... i'm not complaining! i'm happy to have kenichi manga (especially the extra chapters)

How much stuff is there that the anime doesn't cover? I'm not talking about the silly single pages but like the other stuff like:

not really a spoiler but just in case

Spoiler:

for instance when Kenichi goes to train in the mountains and fights the lil kid

[richvh]

There are no skipped chapters in books 9 or 10, but...

Spoiler:

There were about a dozen chapters skipped before Kenichi and Miu go to his old neighborhood and meet Ryuuto/Odin, including the first encounter between Miu and her grandfather, and Apachai. Earlier (I think), there was Sakaki and Apachai's day at the racecourse, and their encounter with the Yakuza boss and his pro wrestler strongman. (I think the brief scene where Sakaki knocks down someone with just his gaze might be from that story line...)

[Angrypokstick]

I think there was also a event where kenichi's father visited the dojo, and a bunch of side stories regarding apachai and etc thats skiped by the anime , nothing major though.

Spoiler for Volume 17:

She attacked him to prove a point basically she said that had her target been Hermit then hermit would have easily dodged it. she said that Kenichi can dodge the attack but kenichi is not cautious enough and since now that things are getting serious and kenichi' life is in constant danger he should be much more cautious and ready to react in a instant like hermit(she doesn't actually tell him he is in danger she just told him to be more cautious from now on.). At this point Kenichi is not aware that his life is in danger. Miu knows because she over heard the conversation between the masters that YOMI might be targeting kenichi, so she is trying to get kenichi to toughen up and more prepared by attacking him to show how vulnerable he is right know.

what is yomi, a new organisation? can you please explain

[richvh]

Spoiler:

YOMI (always capitalized, but if it's an acronym, it hasn't been explained) is an organization made up of the leading disciples of the members of 闇(Yami, darkness), an international group of martial artists seeking power for its own sake. Ryuuto/Odin, as the personal disciple of Yami member 拳聖(Kensei), is a member of YOMI; the other Ragnarok fists were not. After the defeat of Ragnarok, the attention of Yami and YOMI is attracted to Kenichi, and they try to recruit him and Miu into the ranks of YOMI - in fact this has already started in the anime, where Kensei tried to take on Kenichi as his disciple during the mountain retreat training.

[TigerII]

Has Kenichi or Miu considered it at all(joining)?

[richvh]

Spoiler:

Miu has been flirting around with Shou, one of the YOMI members, because he's offering something she wants... knowledge of her father. Kenichi hasn't seriously considered joining YOMI since leaving Kensei standing in the woods to return to training with the Eldest.

In recent chapters Miu flatly refused Shou's offers to join YOMI. And Kenichi is of course dead set against YOMI namely Shou(the two seriously hate each other).

[cyberdemon]

Well that's because they both want Miu

Spoiler for odin:

Has it been stated yet why Ryuuto is in the wheelchair and why he looks so different?

[majin_vegeta]

Thanks alot for the update. I wait for the volumes to come out and just read the raws. It's a real pain trying to find the individual chapters.

Spoiler:

Well, I was really concerned about the fight between Kenichi and Sho. Is Kenichi even a match for this guy? If i'm not mistaken, this guy is stronger than Miu. If he beat Sho, wouldn't that put him on the same or higher level than Miu? Just slightly curious. Thanks again for the update.

Finally got caught up to ch250. Finding the chapters wasn't easy, took quite some time. A few were Chinese scanlations (I may translate these, I'm far better at Chinese than Japanese) but the quality was decent.

If anyone has seen the chapters beyond 250, mind telling me in spoiler tags it goes?

[/QUOTE]

Spoiler:

Nothing I've read in any of Ryuuto's appearances at the DoD tournament says anything about why he's in the wheelchair, nor why his eye or hair have changed. We can speculate that it is due to his fight with Kenichi, but we don't know yet.

Spoiler:

I believe it is clear that it was the explosive fight with Kenichi during the waning ages of his Ragnarok gang that caused him to end up in a wheelchair. The manga had stated that he had used two different types of 'ki' in order to beat Kenichi, just as Kensei had taught him before. However, in doing so his body systems began to collapse and fail.

Spoiler:

Hm... been a while since I read that section... maybe I ought to re-read it. Oh, well, I'll get to that eventually. Right now I'm busy translating volume 9 (just finished the fight with Siegfried, moving on to the home visit storyline.)

[Angrypokstick]

Crap, looks like the Chinese translating/scanlating team disbanded. No more Chinese version until the raws pop up and another group to pick it up.

[kenjiharima]

been watching Kenichi again...ever since the Beserker incident. LOL

What's the latest scanlated chapter btw that's all thx.

I had put a Dl link to madarabe's and my ch. 151 + 152 many pages ago in this thread, but otherwise look to K-H for the rest (its around 75-76 right now or something? I'm busy with university, less time to do translations, though if I feel like it I can do a few more).
