This was an amazing read.
Just to be clear, the guy didn't die at the end

Mori Kouji is an amazing mangaka. I highly urge you to read his other works. Apparently also best buds with Miura.
>>140767596
I was actually considering checking out what else he's done. Any recommendations in particular?
>>140767649
Suicide Island
>>140767649
Suicide island is great. It explores a lot themes around the human condition.
>>140767763
as i type it out you beat me to it
>>140767763

Cool, then I'll definitely check it out, I'll start with that one. I really like stories that I can actually learn from. Holyland was especially great because I'm a martial artist and recently I've been trying to focus more on actual, practical fighting. The manga was rather insightful
>>140767991
It gave me an urge to try boxing, now om working on improving my natural strength and gain some massI used to be a skeleton. Holyland and Mob psycho 100 are great inspirations for me when i'm working out
>>140768131
Definitely inspirational for sure. I've been doing kung fu for almost 18 years and I always wanted to learn from other styles too, but Holyland inspired me even more. For example I've never been too interested in boxing, but now I think that I could learn much from a boxer
the last arc was retarded
they could've just gone to the police
and also the timeskip

Not doing MMA or boxing, shamefur dispray anon.
>get inspired
>too pussy to actually get into street fights
>go outside and beat the shit out of stray dogs
Did I do good, /a/?
>>140768922
>strays
You might want to move to other pests too.
>>140768794
I already had a little taste of MMA, as well as some other martial arts, but I plan on studying more. I prefer kung fu as my base style and insert knowledge from many other areas
>>140769055
Beating up niggers usually requires a gun, though, that's not really good martial arts practice.
>>140769055
I tried beating a hobo but he started to sling shit onto me so I ran away
>>140769122
>>140769117
The hobo was a nigger, as a matter of fact
Fuck, did I instinctively turn into a /pol/ack?
I just wanted to get into street fights
>>140767649
>>140767596
Destroy and Revolution or whatever is shit, don't bother
>>140768654
I also felt MC was too emo, and overall the idea all his friends would abandon him if he lost a single fight was dumb
>>140769117
>>140769168
In my current area I would only have gypsies. Though those fuckers usually have knives and move in packs, so it would be more of a lynching than street fight. Even if it's a smaller pack and you manage to beat them up, it's like a fucking hydra and just brings out more
>>140769089
Ok anon I guess we can give you a pass on that.
>>140769628
I don't think it's really a lynching if the lynchee runs up to you and tries to beat you up.
Pic related is also bretty gud
It is also pretty short
>>140767991
As a martial artist didn't you feel annoyed by how trivial and ridiculous the manga made many of the moves? For example, practice a kick a few times and he's already a fucking master and can use it in real time like it's nothing, crazy flexibility and precision like a demi-god itself. It was ridiculous.
>>140767259
>that one scene where the author trying to interact with audience
Its the only manga i read so far doing that stuff.
>>140771991
The first few chapters do state that he is uniquely gifted, but yes, a little bit of realism is thrown out the window in order to make the story works. By the same token:
>getting up after being judo-slammed on concrete
>actually happening anytime ever
Still an amazing piece of realisticish fighting manga.
>>140769089
What kung fu? I'm doing shaolin.
Don't mind me, just posting best girl
