Ippo #8

A fierce young boxer fills the cover of this eighth French-language volume of George Morikawa's beloved boxing manga, his fists raised and his expression burning with quiet determination against a blazing golden background. Published by Kurokawa in 2008, Ippo — La Rage de Vaincre brings the hard-hitting spirit of one of manga's most celebrated sports series to French readers in fine style. If you've been following Ippo's journey through the ring, this volume's striking cover alone makes clear the intensity hasn't let up one bit.
