After Yu lands a shocking punch on Jean Pierre, their match continues. Meanwhile, Injae is now also training to be a boxer and is getting ready for his first match.

While Yu’s fight, the volume spends a lot of time with Injae, who’s story arc is more like a traditional sports comic (although the mini treatise on who’s the main character wasn’t needed for me is they wanted to switch perspectives unless this is heading to a place where this would need to be discussed) where you see his training intercut with his backstory. It’s done pretty well. I’m not that big on sports media like this but I was interested in the fight. 4 out of 5.

While Yu climbs up the ranks, another boxer Jean Pierre Manuel; also known as The Lightweight King, fixates on Yu. As he is obsessed with perfection, he wants to go up against Yu in the pursuit of that and the feeling of his life being in legitimate danger.

There are other boxers also working their way up the roster with Yu but while we get a little time with them, the main focus is how Jean Pierre wants to fight Yu so badly and how he thinks Yu is the ultimate example of the perfection he seeks. A lot of the characters in this series so far have all this drive and ambitions while Yu is just unbothered by all of it. He’s a blank slate that is pointed in a direction and told to hit something as hard as he can. I hope we learn more about him to find out why he’s like this. 4 out of 5.
