I have been obsessed with this manga since I started reading it. Downloaded the first couple volumes and started reading, then ordered the anime from netflix, then got the ps2 games lol. One day was like...

first off, I'm fairly new to IRC. I've been using is as little as possible for the last year because of bit torrents, but finally I have a reason to use it again.

I can connect to the irc.irchighway.net server but when I join the #snoopycool channel it's empty...any ideas?

Also, if anybody can send the manga (I'm only looking for what isn't in the anime) to me that'd be freaking awesome! Just send me a PM or something if you can help. I'll also be checking this every couple days just in case I get a responce but it seems to be pretty dead.

I'm up to chapter 772 and I think the current fight is the most interesting, mainly because of the way Ippo's opponent is fighting.

onepiecelover · 2007-07-17, 09:56

I absoulety love this manga, I am upto 40 volumes and I am half done with the story and its still going on. Anyone else know if Ippo ever becomes the world champ, cuz I really dont want to see the rest of the volumes filled up with figts not concerning Ippo

ShadowClone · 2007-07-17, 10:08

Yep, Volume 40 is just right about the half-way point...of the published manga that is!

It's still currently going strong and as for your question regarding Ippo:

Spoiler:

Mykas · 2007-07-17, 11:45

there are tons of fights in the next 40 volumes, some non ippo some ippo and a lot of story about everything else in between. If you think about you average manga that sputters out long before even 30 volumes Ippo is really a great story in that we have seen so much character development and change.

There are fights involving Ippo, but there are good ones that don't involve him too. For example:

...and you'd also be missing out on all the hilarious situations that happen.

AnimeFangirl · 2007-07-19, 06:09

Having said all that, I think the manga is definitely dragging on at this point. I never thought I'd say that about Ippo of all things, but if it ended soon I wouldn't mind at all.

Mykas · 2007-07-19, 09:02

If you are like me the main reason it is dragging on is that you didn't find it until 60 or so volumes had come out letting you read them all at once (very few series over 30 volumes much less at 80) and waiting for my weekly fix of ippo is.... slow going to say the least, especially after being able to read so much all at once.

gonzo562 · 2008-01-07, 02:39

i really enjoy this manga 84 volumes and almost 20 years of work.

i wish they would make a 2nd season of the hajime no ippo.

also i wish they would increase the pace of this anime or or make each chapter long.

i dont see this manga ending anytime soon.

ippo is just starting to make his world title run
thier the class a tournament for itagaku, aoki and the rest.

and thier still the ichiro vs randy boy junior fight which will probably last a few volumes

Ryota · 2008-05-20, 12:52

Since i can't read japanese i would really like it if Tokyopop or Dark Horse to license it. So i can buy the volumes in english. (not viz, they censure too much)

But do you think there is a possibility that they WOULD still do that? It's such an "old" serie now...

Hell, maybe i'll even buy them if they were dutch

Tiamat's Disciple · 2008-05-20, 22:39

You'll have to make do with scanlations since this will never be licensed. To big a risk for a publisher to take on, especially since the anime flopped big time.

Some one may license the first arc, though i cant see it happening.

I know that the French market of manga is quite special but an editor (and not one of the bigger) has licensed Hajime no Ippo and is releasing one volume a month (volume 10 has been released last week). So it's still possible that an American publisher could do the same.

kenjiharima · 2008-05-21, 15:43

My God! 10 volumes out of almost 50 mangas XD

yezhanquan · 2008-05-21, 19:29

The series is 800++ chapters. Man, it's gonna take a while.

Nervous Venus · 2008-05-22, 13:33

First off, I hope I'm not the only girl in this thread >>;;;; ,
Secondly, I haven't actually read the manga yet. I'm barely at ep 55, when Ippo challenges Date Eiji for the featherweight champion belt.
Just wondering if the anime follows the manga closely?
and also if it does, where/which chapter does the manga pick up after the anime ends???

Miles Teg · 2008-05-22, 14:32

The anime cover up to volume 30, the OAV is volume 31 and 32 and the movie volume 33 to 35.

The anime follow the manga really closely, if you only watch the anime you can continue with the manga without missing anything.

Spoiler: My favorite fights have been: Miyata vs. Jimmy, Sendo vs. Vorg, Ippo vs. Mashiba, Ippo vs. Ponchai (DEMPSEY ROLL!!! ). I thought the Kobashi vs. Ippo fight was kind of dull, though it was so close, everything would of gone differently for Ippo if Kobashi decided to go for points instead of the knockout. He would be a nobody if Kobashi hadn't gone for the KO . __________________ Shun me, for I am frumious!

Mykas Wu Di Jin Gang Tui Join Date: Jan 2007	Spoiler for best fight: Ippo vs Date eji it was good to see a main character that wasn't invincible but who could make a comback when he did take the title from Sendou it was just that much sweeter Spoiler for worst fight: Ippo vs Take Keichi the guy used every trick in the book and dragged the fight out for 6 rounds i got really tired of him. __________________ Proud memeber of the Ying Mu Jun Tuan

A good example of this one was the Spoiler: cancellation of the "destined rubber match" between Ippo and Miyata. Miyata's original dream/goal of being a boxer (referred to in the 20s volumes) was brought up again, and shown as a good justification for the cancellation of his fight with Ippo

It's still currently going strong and as for your question regarding Ippo: Spoiler: He's STILL a long way from becoming a world champion. Right now, he's focusing on being the "unofficial" OPBF champion by trying to beat all the national featherweight champions in the region. This is probably to get himself back on track for a match with Miyata, who has his own "battle of destiny" awaiting him...and it's NOT with Ippo either!
