[just-a-12]

i may have a favourite type of character (bonus if black hair in ponytail)

fun facts :

Oczy and kokushibo are from the same time period (15th century)

natsuo and zanka are around the same age

they're all around the same height (Zankas the shortest at 5’10 & kokushibo is tallest at 6’3)

I was going to add a couple more charas but it got too crowded

Sports series and their lessons

SLAM DUNK: Ball is life.

HAPPY!: Ball is life and sex workers are great babysitters.

PRINCE OF TENNIS: Ball is life but a big responsibility because you might accidentally cause a mass extinction event.

KUROKO NO BASUKE: Ball is life and fistbumps are dangerously powerful.

FREE!: Water in large quantities destroys lives and the battle between a well-done coming of age story and capitalism and fanservice will give a director no choice but to seek solace in emotional devastation and violent action scenes.

HAIKYUU: Ball is life and volleyball is made up.

REAL: Ball is life and legs are optional.

ROBOTXLASERBEAM: Ball is life and it's important to teach this lesson to robots before their uprising so we have common ground.

YURI ON ICE: Getting shitfaced to meet your idols will only benefit your personal and professional life.

ALL OUT!: Ball is life and if you embrace this you can overcome your physical insecurities.

SK8 THE INFINITY: You don't have to be the best at something if you're enjoying it with someone you love and if there had been skateboarding in England in the 1880s JoJo's Bizarre Adventure would have been much shorter.

OOKIKU FURIKABUTTE/BIG WINDUP: Ball is life and your pitcher's health is paramount because if he is injured you have to take him to the outfield and shoot him like a horse with a broken leg.

TEPPU: There is no point in sports if you don't draw blood and excessive Jean Claude van Damme movies will permanently alter your sexuality.

EYESHIELD 21: Ball is life and Satan rules.

MEGALOBOX: No matter how dystopian the future, people will always want to gamble on the outcome of two men punching each other.

HIKARU NO GO: Ghosts are real.

rb to give prev an asparagus roll-up

[claremikas]

teppu is a 10/10 manga just because this panel is supposed to show the mc and her rival walking into an mma ring about to beat the fuck out of each other

[mahoromouse]

the inherent homoeroticism of hand-to-hand combat

[liahelvetica]

see if i describe teppu as a martial arts manga nobody cares but when i say it's a tale of a sadistic lesbian and her path to unpack her childhood trauma by beating the shit out of her crush then peoples' heads turn

Yo Teppu got a physical English release and I've seen no one mention it. It's only got 1 volume in 7 months and only 6 reviews on Amazon so seems like it may not have had a warm reception. Physical manga buyers go buy this one, it's worth your time and shelf space and $15.
