Still think that Chinese girl was better than main girl.
>>149459397
Million times this.
Loyal thirsty talented big titty china was so vastly superior that it should have just been like right at the end "Actually, I married Renka! Can you believe it?"
Then it shows actually retarded Mio raising cats and being TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT.
>>149457326
Strong start.
With a very bad middle.
I never finished it so I can't say anything about the end.
The drop in quality is not a surprise for most shounen series, still in this one it was pretty significant.
>>149457326
At the very least at the end Kenichi was still just some kid with massive heart, no hidden bloodline, reincarnation, or super talent. Just some kid who picked the right Gym that alone puts it better than most shounen.
>>149457326
Started out great, and then lost it in the middle and turned to shit at the end.
First arc was absolutely fantastic. Everything after kenichi broke that faggot's spine was meh to bad tier.
It needs a sequel that fixed the unresolved plot strings.
>>149457326
I would fuck him.
Full homo
This and Teppu are the greatest martial art manga of all time. DBZ a shit.
One thing that bothered me about Kenichi was that they never really got into grappling. The big Judoka that played a bigger role in the beginning probably could've wrecked almost everyone else irl. Same for the Russian Sambo fighter, who for some reason didn't grapple.

That's objectively wrong.
>>149457326
it was going pretty good up to the battle continent colosseum fighting torunament shit, but as soon as that finished it just started getting worse and worse, up until the rushed ending
started off a little ecchi but ended up whoring out that weapons chick
Also started off somewhat grounded in reality but then they went the whole martial art superpower route
read holyland if you want a good fighting manga
>>149459516
he had great masters though.
>>149459516
This. Kenichi was one of the very few manga where the MC wasn't an overpowered super special snowflake chosen one. He didn't have talent from start to finish and if the tiniest overconfidence lead to his loss.
This could have been so great if the whole thing didn't become a wuxia during the Yami arc.
>>149460227
I read 80 or something chapters worth of Holyland and it was really really gay. I swear the street fighting was just a cover.
>>149460425
maybe he was referring to the realism (atleast in the technical stuff)

The premise of the manga can not sustain prolonged reading, however if you power through it in chunks its fairly good.
the manga is full retarded, it ups the ante so often that by the end you just wonder what asspull is going to save them this time, but it remains fun.
the people who said it gets worse... it doesn't, it stayed just as good from beginning to end, but we all wanted something more after what... 600 fuckin chapters?
if you want to read this, its a read it over the coarse of a few days, the weekly nature of it made it shitty, and there are thankfully no horrible plot points that stick around.
>>149460457
Why on earth would I read fiction for realism when I can have that by joining up a gym?
You should stop going to tumblr.
Funny that you made a thread about Kenichi because I was just thinking a hour ago about Sebastian.
I was disappointed that they didn't have the balls to kill of the 2 characters that should really be dead
Apachai wasn't even that important, his death would be sad but thats it.
Supergramps was so close to the end that iy really wouldn't matter if he died when he literally exploded.
Looking back I really don't know why I read the whole thing. Titties are nice but i'm not the sort of person to read it just for that, sad panda exists for a reason.
Takeda was the best supporting character in the series next to our boy Sieg-friend.
Hongo was the best master
Miu a shit
Ending felt rushed, but I liked the ride
I absolutely love the way Kenichi's muscles developed gradually.
>>149460004
>That time when the tits had a somewhat moderate size.
>>149459516
Considering he is suppose to be talentless, his progress still was too fast. All the other Yomi guys trained since they where little and put at least the same amount of effort into it.
When did he start training again? one year? Two years ago?
I really wish martial arts with weapons was never introduced. God fucking damn that enitre arc with the weapons martial artists 7 masters was an absolute shitshow, too many faggy new characters with some stupid gimmicky ass weapons. Got to the point where every arc had a new bunch of dipshits with dumb gimmicks that I was somehow supposed to remember the name of.
>>149457326
Still don't know if mangaka decided to end the series or canceled.

Went to shit after it started going more ecchi less comedy (around the onsen scene a couple volumes in).
>>149457326
Decent up until Kenichi beat his rival with black and white hair. After that, the manga should have ended because it dragged on for too long.
>>149457326

>>149464157
this, also the whole craptalk with how weapons dont make you better than barehanded fighters

Will the mangaka revisit this series? Seems like the current trend if they can't come up with a hit on a new series.
Was pretty alright, has it moments, low payoff at the end.
>>149464036
>When did he start training again? one year? Two years ago?
My biggest criticism of this is that they get away with this midway/late into the series by doing training that "risks his life" to justify how quickly he catches up to stronger threats.
Hell if anything the villains (whatever their group was called) should be far more okay doing those deadly trainings since I believe Kensei didn't give a shit about consequences.
That and the weapons parts where pretty stupid given Kenichi has only one weapon master and he doesn't even train with her all that much anyway.

Very strong opening. Then art started to get better but the plot got worse. By the end it was just a shitfest that I didnt care about.
It was one of my favorites way back in the day but it just lost my interest cause the plot wasnt that great.
Really makes me sad since I liked the characters. Shigure was best girl and shouldve claimed Kenichi as her own.
>>149468260
What exactly did the Editor do?
>>149468607
He tought that it would be a great idea to start 55 (or was it 50?) new series in Shonen Sunday and its sister magazines for their 55th anniversary. In order the achieve that the axed a bunch of series to make room for the new stuff.
>>149468771
That certainly sounds stupid enough to be true.
>>149469671
It's because Sunday's sales have been declining way too fast, they're nearing 390k or so weekly when they had a million 10 years ago.

It had a great start and good characters, but the pacing was atrocious and the fanservice ramped up to ridiculous levels by the end.Pic Related was the best girl;Sunglasses guy was the best Master; Edward Farminghands and Salary Man were the best side characters.

Are translations dead?
>>149481235
Translations are dead, unfortunately. The series itself had a rough start in no due part to the fact that it felt like three different One-Shots merging into the same universe and outside of two characters, the fanservice is... Oddly subdued.
>>149459969

>>149459501
Well the strong start has in large part to do with that part being written before in a monthly magazine so he knew where to improve it.
>>149481922
I like how the brown sexy people ended up together at the end
Shigure A BEST.
Still sort of funny a series that began in a semi-grounded fashion of some nerd who picked up martial arts and learned a few basic tricks that let him beat up local bullies became a shounen powerlevel fest.
>>149482450
She switched over to takeda though.
I have no idea how the judo guy got a harem like that though, he wasn't even relevant half of the time.
>>149457326
It was fine. I've read lots of mindless shounen action. Kenichi was more of the same.
I'm the odd man out. I still don't know why so many people fucking love the beginning parts/Ragnarok arc. For me that was the suckiest part of the manga.
I mean, people talk like it was always a fighting/battle shounen, but it was more like KHReborn or similar faire where Kenichi started off as a gag/parody manga and then only at the VERY end of Ragnarok did it drop that and embrace its battle shounen identity, which is what I'd been fucking waiting for. The realistic martial arts parts are terrible, because even in the Ragnarok arc the strongest people had superpowers and I kept waiting for the fighting/techniques to "get serious". It only really starts getting good, and the art and fanservice if you like those parts also start to get good, once you get to the Yomi arc.
Odin remains the absolute worst "arc boss" in the history of battle shounens. "You were my best friend when I was a kindhearted, twinky literal 6-year old. But you got the pog I wanted when I got my first boner so I DEDICATED MY LIFE TO LEARNING ASSASINATION MARTIAL ARTS AND SWORE BY THE 7,000,000 GODS TO DESTROY YOU FOR THIS SLIGHT TO MY HONOR!!! MY WHOLE LIFE (I decided this at age 6) WOULD BE DEDICTED TO YOUR DEMISEEE!!11"
>>149460349
I don't really remember Kenichi losing much. Didn't he fight special snowflakes and win?
Him being "not special" doesn't count for much if he kicks the ass of special snowflakes.
>>149483936
So he's the anti-flake?
Ending arc was just bad. I don't mind ecchi, but it got ridiculous.
>>149484077
>complaining about naked chicks
Anon, you gay?
>>149484004
No, it's just what happens when authors shallowly copy shounen manga memes. They try and make MC be a hard worker and not talented, but then they make him stronger way too fast or reveal he had super-powers all along.
Undermining their own meme. Happens all the time.
>>149483933
I can relate to odin
not getting the pog you want is the worst~
>>149484175
No, authors realize that drawing hard work is too much work.
>>149484163
I still enjoyed it
>>149457326
Wow.
I loved this, but it began to suck so much I forgot I was reading it, forgot I dropped it and forgot it existed.
Last thing I remember was Kenichi thinking his Muy Thai master died but he didn't and I vaguely recall them encountering some bullshit with some faggot who had the female lead's powerset and a tournament.
Did it get any better?
>>149483936
>>149484175
>I don't really remember Kenichi losing much
he lost plenty of times tho
the pattern was
>meet new guy
>lose to new guy
>train harder
>win against new guy
>make him stronger way too fast
Would you guys really prefer to have even more training arcs? A manga entirely about training arcs?
Once he is becomes a live-in disciple the idea is he is training for every single moment of his life outside of school and other duties.
None of the other characters in the manga are shown to be like that.
>>149484380
Ah. It's been so long that I've forgotten the pattern. May be time to for a re-read.
If an enemy is too strong, have a stronger ally handle it. Or take it in a team. I'm sure power levels can be paced in a way that keeps the idea that MC is an untalented hard worker.
>>149484606
>I'm sure power levels can be paced in a way that keeps the idea that MC is an untalented hard worker.
I can't imagine that ever happening to be honest. It's just not realistic to have hard work beat talent without the talent guy just being some fag who never trains ever.
THICC
>>149483933
It's not just you, anon. I thought the beginning parts/Ragnarok arc were the weakest part of the manga too. I really fell in love with the series when it embraced the over-the-top martial arts wuxia stuff. Also seeing Kenichi's Masters fight against other quirky overpowered Masters was the most entertaining part of this manga for me.
>>149484606
>Or take it in a team.
The problem everyone that Kenishi and his squad fights are just teenagers just like them, so if they ganged up on everyone it would make the heroes look like incompetent unfair assholes.
>have a stronger ally handle it.
Then you might as well have Kenichi not fight at all or do make him a special snowflake.
Also him being so strong really isn't that much of an plothole, because it really is just his own effort and him having the strongest martial artist in their respective fields and and literally the strongest martial artist ever as his masters.
It has been repeatedly shown that Kenichi trains way more than everyone else to the point that all you see him do in his free time is train.
>>149484846
>サービスだお!
>誰に!?
The best strongest combo so far.
>>149484380
Kenichi never really "lost" a lotin Ragnarok. He was basically given Ippo's superpower from HnI. He could tank 10000x more damage then anyone else.
So he'd always get his ass wrecked and forget the basics every fight all the way through the end of the 8 fists, spouting moralfag shit the whole time like a sperg. And then he'd remember or copy one technique he'd seen one time and suddenly win the fight by getting in a lucky blow (like against Sieg in their first meeting) or just by outlasting the opponent.
Also, there are other characters who get magic offscreen powerups without much training. Kisara comes to mind. She starts off the last ranked fist and basically queen of the weak mob characters and then just kinda of beats Freya and becomes the 3rd strongest fist by the end in little time.
The fist ranking was retarded and completely off anyway, other then Odin being strongest cause he cheated by having a magical superpower. Thor, the sumo guy (#7) sucked and was only strong if you fought with sumo rules in his special sumo pit which no one ever would in a real fight. Even beginning Kisara could have beaten him. Hermit was much stronger than pretty much everyone with NO superpowers, and was probably really #2. Freya, who was #3 never had any feats, seemed weaker than a lot of them, and needed to really upon weapons when everyone else was fists only and got beat by #8. And Loki's whole shtick was being a coward, never fighting anyone, and just hiring huge mobs to gangbang individual opponenets, something ANYone could do.
>>149467778
Eh. I figure the other side DID burn out most of their students over the years, and we only got to see the survivors (who were all damaged goods by then). They were trying to take over the world, so they focused on starting with a large quantity and then weeding out. Plus their rivalries mostly prevented them from cooperating on training. Plus their idealogy kind of meant they were always working with edgelords.
Kenichi got a bunch of ridiculous bullshit synergy bonuses from having five masters and Mio cooperate on training him (and cooperating on NOT breaking him in the process).
>>149485040
Well, most of the guys in ragnarok arc, where just some random shitter kids who had talen, but no real training at all.
>>149485040
>Also, there are other characters who get magic offscreen powerups without much training.
because they're talented.
Most of the main fighters are talented and thus don't need to train as much. Also, if you look at other masters teaching style it's mostly "teach him a bit then let the disciple figure it out for himself".
>He could tank 10000x more damage then anyone else.
His entire training is about getting beat up by masters, of course he is going to be able to tank hits by disciples.
Also the ranking of the ragnarok guys wasn't about personal strength. People who joined later got lower numbers. No one else could order any other except odin anyway.
>>149466783
Damn you made me remember "that", holy fuck I need to fap again
>>149484886
Kenichi had stronger allies take on stronger opponents all the time. Master vs Master and all that.
But anyway, yeah, Kenichi being strong isn't a plothole. I just disagree with the idea that he's not special. Stumbling onto some magical artifact that grants you superpowers, running into secret martial arts masters, or whatever. If it puts the MC on the power level of real talented fighters who worked hard, then the "He's not special" theme ends up shallow, that's all.
Like stories with super moves with a terrible drawback, only there ends up being no real drawback.
>>149466783
It's a shame, but it was pretty obvious he was going to end up with Miu from the start. Though Shigure was undoubtably best girl.
>>149485717
Do they make the main girl, worst girl on purpose?
I loved it until the end where it started falling apart and dropping plot points left and right. It built up at least 3-4 more antagonists to have showdowns with and then nothing.
>D of the D was never animated

Nah you're not the only one, for me my favourite arc was the tournament Island arc. Overall I really enjoyed this series its one of my favourite shounen. However I felt that the series went downhill after Miu gets brainwashed by Demon God Fist. The only decent part after that was Miu's fight against the speedy Yomi girl. I also really liked the alien guy, he did a lot of wachy shit that I found hilarious.

>>149490372

It was wuxia right from the start. Even the name Ryozanpaku is a reference to one of the oldest wuxia ever.
>>149459969
Teppu and Kenichi are entirely different types of manga. Teppu, along with Meguru is much more mundane and 'real', whereas Kenichi, as said by others, is wuxia. On that note, anyone else reading Smiling Proud Wanderer?

I fucking hate that martian guy who keeps blackmailing the other guys into working for him, despite doing nothing meaningful for the plot or the rest of the cast. It was such turn off, I was about to drop the series because of him.
>The good guys were so outclassed that if Demon Fist had just taken his fight seriously and not gotten himself killed the good guys would never have lasted long enough for Elder to return.
One thing that bothered me a lot was the distinctions between Katsujin Ken and Satsujin Ken; and between weapon and bare fist users. It seemed that everyone adhered so fucking strictly to these catagories. I thought it would be neat if there was a character who basically said "fuck all this noise," and followed a pragmatic martial arts path, doing what was most practical.
Also, why is Mui worst girl? I too find her irritating but I can't quite articulate why, I like to hear some reasons.
>>149501272
Him running away from Berserker in his underwear screaming RAPE was one of the funniest moments

Because she's just the standard "oh so sickeningly sweet air headed cutesy utsey" main heroine. She doesn't have a personality or goals beyond being the object of the hero's affection and any skill on her end is just a joke to make the MC feel emasculated
>>149457326
This manga had such a great start, but somewhere along the end it slowly started going to shit. At what part of the series did it all started going wrong?
I really really loved this manga, but the end came out of nowhere, IMO. I was not expecting that other dude, Miu's father's rival, to be the real big bad.
Why do 99.99% of the women have huge tits?

I like Miu, she was obviously the best wifu.
Offically hooked up with declious flat chest kickboxer but had like 3-4 chicks on backup just waiting for the mongonly route.
Has there ever been a somewhat ecchi series were not the main character has bigger harlem them the actuall main character?
I mean for bonus points he was even a great guy all around
I was going to start a thread about this, but I figured this was a good place to ask.
What are the essential martial arts manga?
>>149509141
Depends what you are looking for. Do you want "realistic" martial arts, or just batshit insanity? I'd recommend Holyland for a realistic one. If you want to go full batshit, I'd recommend Tenjou Tenge.
>>149506076
I think so. There is a sequel with new characters and they seem like a couple in that. Though in one chapter Minoru gets extremely depressed when he sees a picture of her in America with a bunch of Black guys surrounding her. I think they all turned out be gay or something though,
>>149509350
And here is Minoru misunderstanding what he saw. Contrary to what you see in this image, he's badass as fuck in the sequel. But he doesn't really appear too much and is more of a background character.
the last volume has some really nice panels with kushinada

I don't like the side-characters at a all. Specially the brazilian gay rapist and the ugly cowardly dude that learns some instinctual countering martial arts, they're just not funny.
Wish they would just go away.

oh man, if this series was popular and being translated regularly /a/ would have had a field day with these

Because fuck you, that's why

Jealous as fuck of all the training he gets for basically free, while the nearest dojo wants me to pay 110 US dollars a month just to go over the fucking basics.
>>149517877
Your dojo don't try to kill you every single day.
That's a bonus

Ma tried to charge him about 200 USD, but they were so desperate for money that he went down to 50. You need to find a poor dojo.
It was a nice read all along, even though it was quite great at the start.
However, showing how incredibly strong and independent a female character is will only make it bad when she ends up half naked and in need of protection every time there is a fight.
I really felt super annoyed every time it happened...
It has the same flaws as any other nekketsus that lasted too long.

Dropped after he beat Odin. I knew the manga would be shit after this fight.

Guy gets introduced during the Island Tournament arc as a 20-something Salary Man who's always getting calls from his wife and kid.Then shit hits the fucking fan later on when we find out his wife & kid are dead.
>>149519387
Guy was always talking on the phone to his wife and child. Turns out that nobody was ever on the other line. The wife and unborn child were long dead since they were murdered by the same guy who killed his master. He doesn't even get to avenge them since he was killed by the same guy, despite putting up one hell of a fight. The cherry on top is the guy got away with all of it and is still fine by the end of the series.

Am I the only one who thinks Kisara was the best girl?
>>149519668
>>149519686
oh shit, the memories have come back. that was indeed fucking dark for this manga
>>149520064
Kisara was up there for sure, but I kind of disliked how she became more and more cat-like near the end of the series.

Shit taste in this thread IMO.
The one thing from this low tier shonen series I remember is when Kenichi faces off against some blondie. It had a swelling OST when he unleashed some new move by only pushing his hands which I thought was the fucking shit at the time
