Story

The story of Hajime no Ippo follows Ippo Makunouchi as he begins his career in boxing to try and answer one simple question: "What does it mean to be strong?". Since that moment onwards, he has formed a rivalry with other boxers, such as Ichirō Miyata, Takeshi Sendō, Ryō Mashiba, a brotherly bond with his peers Mamoru Takamura, Masaru Aoki, Tatsuya Kimura, and a deep trust for his coach, Genji Kamogawa, whom he aims to become a renowned champion to honour the coach's teachings.

Latest Chapter
ROUND 1453: "Just As You See"
Mashiba begins throwing Flicker Jabs that Rosario blocks until he jumps back to create some distance. Ippo is surprised by how Rosario is the one who retreats despite him being an in-fighter while Mashiba is the one pushing forward. Sawamura is in the audience seats and is entertained by how the match is going. Takamura tells Aoki, Kimura, and Itagaki how buying time until the middle rounds isn't in Mashiba's nature, which is why he started attacking right from the beginning, however, that is just like Rosario's nature. Rosario is irritated that Mashiba has thrown punches while he hasn't, deeming it unfair. Both Mashiba and Rosario enter an exchange match where both boxers fail to land a hit on each other.Read more...

Latest Episode
ROUND 25 (Rising): "A Vow"
Kamogawa almost loses, until Nekota gave him as much spirit he had in his fist when he came with Yuki. Kamogawa goes on the attack, but gets hit with Anderson's left numerous times and Dankichi is ready to throw in the towel to save him, and not to watch him die like that. Nekota says that if he throw in the towel, he is the one who will get killed, by Kamogawa. As the match goes, Miguel says in his mind, that Kamogawa has iron determination, just like his fists which as it appears they leave a mark on Anderson's both arms. Read more...
