| Summary: |
Makunouchi Ippo has been bullied his entire life. Constantly running errands and being beaten up by his classmates, Ippo has always dreamed of changing himself, but never has the passion to act upon it. One day, in the midst of yet another bullying, Ippo is saved by Takamura Mamoru, who happens to be a boxer. Ippo faints from his injuries and is brought to Takamura boxing gym to recover. As he regains consciousness, he is awed and amazed at his new surroundings in the gym, though lacks confidence to attempt anything. Takamura places a photo of Ippo’s classmate on a punching bag and forces him to punch it. It is only then that Ippo feels something stir inside him and eventually asks Takamura to train him in boxing. Thinking that Ippo does not have what it takes, Takamura gives him a task deemed impossible and gives him a one week time limit. With a sudden desire to get stronger, for himself and his hard working mother, Ippo trains relentlessly to accomplish the task within the time limit. Thus Ippo’s journey to the top of the boxing world begins. |

When I first discovered this anime, i didin't really liked boxing and never thought I would ever like it but after watching a few episodes, I realised that it was so well written and directed that anyone who watched this would like it.
It's by far the best anime about boxing(if there are any others) and can be easily included in anyone's top 5 list.
The main character, Ippo, has many flaws as a person and that's why you'll love him so much. Even when he's being beaten to a pulb, he doesn't give up fighting towards his goal.
What's more is the hilarious funny scenes which even overshadow those of One Piece!
Believe me, the minute you start watching this, your perpective towards boxing will change for the better.
A big thanks to the author of Ippo, mr George Morikawa for actually having the guts to risk his reputation and write a manga about boxing!!
