Ippo #5

A fierce young boxer charges forward on this dynamic cover, red gloves blazing and eyes locked with fierce determination — it's Makunouchi Ippo, name proudly displayed on his trunks, ready to throw everything he has into the ring. George Murikawa's Ippo — La Rage de Vaincre delivers the raw, relentless energy of competitive boxing in manga form, and this fifth volume from Kurokawa keeps that momentum going strong. If you've been following Ippo's journey through the 2007 French release of this series, this installment looks like exactly the kind of cover that makes you want to dive straight in.
