Popular, or Popular Man in the official K Manga English translation is Round 55 of Jōji Morikawa's Hajime no Ippo manga series.
Details[]
- Title Page Character(s): Ryūichi Hayami, Ippo Makunouchi
Summary[]
After Hayami's performance (and the departure of all girls and most audience), Aoki's match begins. In the nearly empty Kōrakuen Hall, Aoki barely manages to defeat his opponent with a left hook. With a month left until the tournament's semi-finals, Ippo and Kamogawa wonder what can work against Hayami. After training, Ippo encounters Miyata at the gym, and talk about the tournament and their opponents. Miyata, noticing how insecure Ippo is, reminds him that the reason he left the gym was in order to fight him, so he should make it to the finals no matter what.
