"hang!?" lol, that's such an understatement
Almost 860 manga chapters and NO PROGRESSION AT ALL between Ippo and Kumi...and if there even was any HINT of it, it only occurs in the "downtime" between fights, and yes, he "let's it 'hang'" bigtime! (that sounds soooo wrong!) lol But then again, we don't watch/read Ippo for THAT, right? We come to see fights as bad-ass as Takamura vs. Hawk!! |

There was ONE on the latest chapter where Ippo and Kumi GOT THAT CLOSE and still progressed on in one man's return fight, I'll stop there. But I guess your right they're fighters. It's like Iam a fighter not a lover sorta thing going here.
25!!! BASH SOME HEADS!!! EDIT Spoiler for ep.25 YAY!!!:

I guess the sheer waterfall's amount of epic fights in the series is the reason why not too many romantic angles progress much. I'm guessing that the span of the series so far in real-life-years is about 4 or 5 years? At least from looking at Ippo's fight record and activity is concerned. Especially for kids who are as naive and pure as Ippo/Kumi are, I'd think they'd get serious not too far ahead. But I guess that leaves some elbow room, plotwise.

I can just picture what a miserable time the translators/fansubbers will have doing the "Itagaki family dinner scene", if you know what I mean! And I predicted correctly, that the arc that was "skipped" would work perfectly as a second OVA, similar to the Mashiba vs. Kimura fight. |
