The Horizon and The Boxer are two of the best webtoons I've read. In the later the fights with Takeda and the Santorino brothers, and their backstory were amazingly beatiful.
I don’t feel like I can express in a RUclips comment how much I enjoyed the Boxer. Like Sufferents said, this story is not about boxing. It’s about the purpose of life, trauma, death, love, and pretty much touches on everything that gives meaning to life. It’s not about hype fights (though there ARE hype fights), it’s about watching Yu discover meaning in his life. It’s about watching what gives others meaning. It was such a beautiful and well crafted story because of the characters- even people I absolutely hated I ended up understanding and loving. The author just managed to make every character’s story count and have an impact on me as the reader and that’s hard to do. Ultimately, if you’re ready to read a sports manwha that is unlike anything you’ve read before then read the Boxer. It’s my favorite manwha I’ve read (with the Horizon being a close second) and I hope that the rest of you will enjoy it as well if you haven’t already read it.
@@thedarkking32 Um, refer to my other comment on a different video where you asked me the exact same question. Once again, it’s about the emotional stakes and only the beginning fights are a one sided massacre from Yu. But you don’t have to like it. I just like stories that are heavily based in the characters and their arcs so if you aren’t into that then this won’t be your cup of tea. There are plenty of series out there that are just about people throwing hands that you can read.
The boxer was a weird story for me because i didnt know who was the protagonist And i think the author does a great job on purposely shifting that role onto other characters and make them seem like the protagonists
The protagonist of the story is Yu in my perspective, yes he's seen as a villain but that doesn't make him the antagonist, the antagonist on his story are the people who tried to beat him and coach K, who deliberately manipulated the happenings around Yu to make him into the monster he became(later redeemed by J) but if you're talking about the story of each character everytime they fight, then yeah, Yu is not the protagonist but them. In the spinoff series, it's clear that Jay is the protagonist.
@@thatrainbowquickie8395 I would like to know because It’s confusing, also the protagonist always wins so It’s safest to root for him. Though I don’t think I could have rooted for that bright blonde kid anyways
It’s one of the few stories that do this that I actually liked. Most of the time when they switch the perspective to show a different character I get annoyed because, “that’s not the person I care about!” Which I felt the same with boxer at first, but I fell in love with all of them instead
The boxer has made me change my view on action webtoons, previous I thought action webtoons could only be dumb fun with one dimensional character but the boxer made me realize that just because a webtoon is based around an action premise it doesn't mean it cannot deliver an emotional punch (pun intended). This story not only gives us an badass mc but it also give us a beautiful and heartbreak story with complex character. I absolutely loved this series and its definitely one om my favorites along with the Horizon and Bastard.
@@thedarkking32 the story s not necessarily about the fights, in my opinion i enjoyed the growth and the depth in each character it felt way more like drama more than action really
The boxer gave me so many feelings I never thought I felt in WEBTOON. I came in expecting a dope hajime no ippo style of storytelling but the boxer went beyond my expectations. “Proof” and “gratitude” are chapters that are forever ingrained to my brain.
It was a pleasant surprise, the euphemisms to Christ in the end and the constant reminder that this world is absolutely hopeless in path and in point. Nothing will ever work out beyond the figment of our imaginings of hope and glory in things we can see or gain, but the things that last forever are the things you don't see. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
the last fight is just priceless I was suppose to make an analysis on Yu but you know college I'm actually happy that I'm not the only one who enjoyed this webtoon!
“Throughout life…you may have thought that you’ve built up many relationships, but in the face of death, you are completely alone” a day doesn’t pass without that quote crossing my mind. At least, I’m sure thats what it said. Something similar to that.
How to Fight (Viral Hit), Purple Hyacinth & Revival Man (Reawakened Man) are three underrated webtoons that are top 10 quality and should definitely be checked out
I don’t know why, but I didn’t shed a tear for a second in the entire story… except for those last words in the last chapter… “all those stars are shining upon you” goddamnit I bawled my eyes out
When The Boxer first started, I thought it was just another sports manhwa and the story is only going to be focused on fighting Yet just after the Light weight champion Arc, you can already tell how good it's writing, and there's definitely more to its story than you can see on the surface
Eleceed is written very poorly, it's world building is interesting but every new chapter makes it a little bit disappointing.the villains are just useless
@@indrayanchakraborty8461 I get what you mean. Still good tho. I think the world building, and the nice emotional moments and of course cute and funny moments are what make it a worthy contender to be a anime. It ticks many boxes off.
@@indrayanchakraborty8461 it's on my list! There's quite a few webcomics that deserve a anime adaptation. Especially since some of these webcomics are a lot better than some mangas
i think "the boxer" is one of the best comic i've yet to read. Its a unimaginably beautiful story about finding the purpose of life, what it means to be human. Its premise is mainly in boxing but the depth in each character is incredible, you cannot possibly end with hating a single person. Everyone has a past and their respective choices in life, everyone has a story. Its a almost a perfect story in my opinion
The Boxer is definitely one of my favourite webtoons. It shows that, pain, suffering, joy, happiness and death are all a part of life. And there is no why to human existence, it just is. And while some see only that Meaninglessness there are also those who find thier purpose or make one as an anchor or a path to move forward in life.
Bro I was so hype when I seen this posted I'm glad the boxer is getting the love it deserves one of my fav not just webtoons but stories overall I've ever read just beautiful writing 😩
i think this webtoon does a great job of expressing that even if sorrow and death are apart of life, there is still joy to be found. the contrast between the boxer j being the light and yu being the darkness was so brilliant- the webtoon did such a great job contrasting opposite ideals and blending them together. the idea "even in darkness, there is still light" possess themselves between the characters and thats really beautiful.
the boxer is one of the very very few media (movies, manga, webtoon, ect.) that had such an impact on me and went so deep that it genuinely made me question my own sanity and morality. especially when it was showing yu's full past. its one of my all time favorite pieces of media period. and it flows so naturally and smoothly. the art style looks basic at first but its so so good once it starts getting serious. the characters are all awesome (especially the goat himself, Viktor Grigoryevich) and all feel realistically fake. jay has his charisma and determination with a very bright personality and big heart, yu is a hollow shell of a person sinking deeper and deeper into his own personal hell, and coach k can suck a phat one. the boxer is literally peak fiction
The Boxer is not even truly about "Boxing". It uses Boxing as a tool to explore different and deep themes and does it so well, it is one of the best if no the best manhwa or webtoon I have read.
Yea with everything that I went through in past two years reading manwha, LNs, Webtoons, and manga have really been a light in my life. Omniscient Readers Viewpoints LN blew me away and Yu's story beginning to end hit too close to home. I loved it and was quite literally in tears while reading. This story holds a special place in my heart.
@@zooidiotgaming5784 lol yea I'm caught up on the webtoon and I've read to the end of the LN. Though I keep stopping before the end and re-reading the LN.
Its just perfectly crafted start to end. And even with the follow up chapters. Not just my favorite webtoon but one of my favorite pieces of any media ever created. So beautiful and poignant. I have some form of attatchment to every single character and that is a rarity. I love The Boxer with all my heart
The Boxer is easily my top favourite webtoon, so far. I don't think I can express enough just how much I freaking love it. From the intense hype fights to the chill moments told and portrayed with wonderful story-telling and art, especially the story-telling. It was just SO compelling from start to finish that I've never felt bored nor lost interest of it in any chapter every week, it really just sucks you in and never lets you go even with the side characters. I've read a lot of webtoon for years and I've never been as hooked as i was with The Boxer. At first it gave of the feeling of "oh yey OP boxer dude pows down school bullies, hype fights let's gooo!" but it instantly proved that it's MUCH MUCH MORE than that. It was about life, how each and every character went through it, how they learned and grew throughout the series, and of course Yu's journey to finding meaning in life. The way everything was portrayed and told is simply fantastic. Add to that how wonderfully JH (the author) blended in Christian/religious undertones too with the representations and all that. Everything about The Boxer is just wow, I don't think I'll ever have a read like it. I have yet to read The Horizon but I'm already pretty sure that I'll be in a ride. JH tells a story in such a beautiful and interesting way, I'll literally read anything he writes, lol. That aside, just like everyone is saying, i highly HIGHLY recommend The Boxer
The boxer is an outstanding story, I like how the character writing is done progression and so on. I am glad, I read it almost since the start of it. Crazy to think it's gotten this far.
The Boxer and Solo Leveling are two pieces of fiction that really changed my perspective on things, The Boxer really does good in portraying just how bad mental health can get and how evil someone can truly be, Solo Leveling shows how people can be doing bad things for good reasons and how even the hero can turn evil.
The boxer is without a doubt the best webtoon I’ve read. The mc’s lack of emotion is used to contrast with every other character in the story and to see him find the light that he was searching for is incredible.
Legend of the northern blade is worth your time because it's like a fantasy about the murime Korean time line about the single linage of a boy having his family gone and the story develops from there adding more sects to add to the world building and the fights are quick paced. Yh I think people should read this if they have the time because the art,story and characters are written pretty well.
Everyone knows northern blade like everyone bro I see at least 10 comments of the same thing on literally every video it's either northern blade solo leveling and a few others it's been popular for months
Hey man! Just so you know, there's an anime out there called Idaten Deities which is being heavily slept on. Its got dark themes and can sometimes be confusing or seem wrong. A lot of people disliked that so I was hoping you'd consider making a video about it. If anyone can understand it, its you. Have a damn good day.
You have a really cool presentation. The boxer is one of my favorite webtoons, and I love that we get to see more of Jay's story after the end of the main story of Yu
It's weird to see how popular this webtoon is, I never really checked the popularity whilst reading it but I'm so glad to see the traction it is currently getting. The characterization and the time the author gives to every single character had my praise
very interesting webtoon, thank you for the summary. thank you for the memes in between the explanation i cant focus on anything for more than 3 seconds.
when i was reading the boxer when it still had like 12 chapters, got my hyped up because of the art style and it's action scenes, then made me decide to stay and stick to it and read, then after like what, a year? i can't even comprehend how famous and loved it is by the webtoon community. I got a lot of emotions that passed through me reading this masterpiece.
I remember I started this a while ago but forgot to read up on it as AOT was going on at the same time. But I'll give it another go as I go through different series to read.
i love the way the author writes characterization, he makes every one of them seem human, but when you say outloud what some of the actions have the characters do, it seem so monster like and inhumane.
I think the time warping is on purpose. I think it shows how yu himself is soo enthralled in his depression/his training, that time isn't even real to him. It's just something that happens. Something that's constant but unseen
OMG YESS I ACCIDENTALLY AUDIBLY SQUEALED WHEN SEEING THIS VIDEO I'm so glad someone is finally talking about this webtoon, it's so well written and has really solid themes. From tricking the reader into thinking Yu is the protagonist and then revealing that he was basically everyone's antagonist all along and everyone else is the protagonist (he plays a lot with the assumed roles characters have in a story, and subverts expectations with it, it's really interesting), to the nuance each of his characters have, The Boxer makes me gush as a writer every time I read it. I also love how well the writer integrated Christian subtext, cause there aren't many great stories that use it to it's full potential, and The Boxer does it really well without shoving it in the reader's faces. I can go on and on about what makes The Boxer such a great webtoon. The art, the panel placement, pacing, there's soo much to cover. It's kinda sad that a lot of people don't give it a chance cause of the premise, or how stereotypical it seems at first glance.
YES BRO *edit I’m seriously proud that your doing the boxer Your growth is immense and I remember when you went by the name dressrosa keep it up man. 👍🏾
I didn't expect you to make a video on this but I clicked immediately when I saw!! The Boxer actually has a spin-off series now going, centered around Jay and Ryu! (Called Ill-Fated Relationship) I've finished The Boxer and am caught up with the spin-off- it was one hell of a ride. I really love how the author would show a seemingly random imagery on one hand, before hitting you in the head with the other. It made every episode seem planned with all this foreshadowing! If you want, I have a mystery thriller recommendation! It's called Pig Pen by Carnby Kim. (Author of Sweet Home, Bastard, and Shotgun Boy). About this man stranded in an island, not remembering who he is, while he finds himself in trouble between a family that could be serial killers. We follow the protagonist trying to pick up clues about the family, this place, even memories of himself. I have to tell you, the story beats where we learn everything with the protagonist is a total _mind fuck_ I hope you can check it out!
Literally adding Pig Pen to my read list right now!!! I didn't know the author had started a new series but Sweet Home and Bastard were 2 of my favourite webtoons
@@SIX06_ Pig Pen came between Sweet Home and Bastard actually :D! And Shot Gun Boy came after Sweet Home. (A spin off, too). Now I hope you're prepared to experience Pig Pen, I'm not kidding when the mind fuckery escalates
I stopped watching this vid from the start and decided to read the manhwa. Now I finished the manhwa and decided to watch this vid again, I can just say that its beautiful, It made me feel mixed emotions, 1 chapter I'll be crying then next chapter I'll be laughing. Its really a masterpiece. Shame that I only discovered it this late.
I'm not sure if you've read it, but you should definitely try reading "The Horizon" by the same author. I don't think it's officially translated but it's the author's debut work and it's probably my favourite manhwa by far.
When I woke up today I didn't expect to spend whole day reading the manhwa but now that I finished the boxer I can say that you are definitelly right in that it has less to do with boxing and more with characters around it. I would say that this manhwa is about what iis the meaning of life more than boxing. I mean it was kinda obvious closer to the end but I had that feeling through whole manhwa
I’ve already started and it’s… wow. Every character gets there time to shine. Guys I’m guessing we’re not gonna see again get backstory’s that explains there story. Like the guy with orange hair and red eyes. He worked his ass off only for him to see that despite his hard work. He isn’t gonna be able to achieve his dream because there are one in a thousand people and theirs are one in a million people. I’m honestly excited to see how it goes and I’m excited how they’ll write the higher ups
The boxer is more than comic, it is art, it tell us more than what was shown in the page. Sadly, just like art, it is not for everyone, I shown some of my friends the boxer and they said it suck since the fight is not very well explained. (They compare it to Hajime ippo). But ofc, the boxer was never just about boxing, boxing was just a tool to tell the story.
Just got done reading this. Man it was so good but after he fought the two brothers it’ felt rushed. Especially his last fight. But over it was still very good.
Boxer is the first manga/webtoon/manhwa to make me bawl my eyes out like a b*tch. Truly far more than I expected but everything I wanted, this story did the best thing a story can, it make me feel. One of the best pieces of fiction out there
Sports stories are usually not about sports! That doesn't sound weird at all. Sports are a really neat device for moving characters along. a game or a match has some obvious beginning, middle, and end, and frequently forces friends and rivals alike to compete. They also lend themselves well to mentorship arcs and overcoming adversity. Webtoons sleeps on sports webtoons like nobody's business.
I hope you talk about love advice frome the duke of hell next. I know it sounds like a shitty isekai or sth but its a rom com but with internet humour. It is incredibly funny aand deep too.
OHHH thiss webtoon, i remember dropping this before bc fighting webtoons wasn't my thing back then and I was choosy af on choosing what I read, looks like I'm reading this later
the boxer as the best story out there its not going to be a debate. it change the way i think and im not the type to cry but this series made me do that more then three times. i highly recommend this to anyone who can read.
The Boxer is a fantastic series that truly stands out from the rest, a series that I 100% believe is the objectively best WEBTOON, glad to see people agree.
The Boxer is without a doubt my favorite webtoon. From start and towards the end, I was addicted to this webtoon the moment I saw it
felt asf
No, fr. It was so good, I agree.

The Boxer and Solo Leveling are two pieces of fiction that really changed my perspective on things, The Boxer really does good in portraying just how bad mental health can get and how evil someone can truly be, Solo Leveling shows how people can be doing bad things for good reasons and how even the hero can turn evil.
Solo leveling is not good, don't compare it to the boxer it's an insult.
@@Storse …
I respect that you like what you like but man I feel bad when you compare the two
@@Storse solo levelling is way better
Man solo leveling is good but boxer better
Yes! I’m so glad that The Boxer is getting more exposure!
The boxer is without a doubt the best webtoon I’ve read. The mc’s lack of emotion is used to contrast with every other character in the story and to see him find the light that he was searching for is incredible.
Legend of the northern blade is worth your time because it's like a fantasy about the murime Korean time line about the single linage of a boy having his family gone and the story develops from there adding more sects to add to the world building and the fights are quick paced. Yh I think people should read this if they have the time because the art,story and characters are written pretty well.
Everyone knows northern blade like everyone bro I see at least 10 comments of the same thing on literally every video it's either northern blade solo leveling and a few others it's been popular for months
Hey man! Just so you know, there's an anime out there called Idaten Deities which is being heavily slept on. Its got dark themes and can sometimes be confusing or seem wrong. A lot of people disliked that so I was hoping you'd consider making a video about it. If anyone can understand it, its you. Have a damn good day.
I haven’t cry reading some book or manga in a long but the boxer final made it happen and more than once amazing WEBTOON
I didn’t realize so many people liked this, my favorite WEBTOON of all time.
Loving the variety videos on everything you’ve been reading, keep up the great stuff and keep drinking water 👍
the recommendations don't stop coming! keep it up sufferents, i'm reading everything you talk about on your channel :)
You have a really cool presentation. The boxer is one of my favorite webtoons, and I love that we get to see more of Jay's story after the end of the main story of Yu
It's weird to see how popular this webtoon is, I never really checked the popularity whilst reading it but I'm so glad to see the traction it is currently getting. The characterization and the time the author gives to every single character had my praise
My man here pumping out banger videos one after another
Thank you for this video, I happened to click on this because it was in my "Recommended". Having a blast reading it!
Great video! The Boxer very quickly became my favorite Webtoon, probably in the first 3 episodes!
Genuinely one of the greatest Webtoons ever.
very interesting webtoon, thank you for the summary.
thank you for the memes in between the explanation i cant focus on anything for more than 3 seconds.
Great video! keep up the great work, have a nice day!
when i was reading the boxer when it still had like 12 chapters, got my hyped up because of the art style and it's action scenes, then made me decide to stay and stick to it and read, then after like what, a year? i can't even comprehend how famous and loved it is by the webtoon community. I got a lot of emotions that passed through me reading this masterpiece.
I remember I started this a while ago but forgot to read up on it as AOT was going on at the same time. But I'll give it another go as I go through different series to read.
I've read this webtoon thanks to you, and I'm really glad I did! Keep it up with the wonderful suggestions and reviews!
i love the way the author writes characterization, he makes every one of them seem human, but when you say outloud what some of the actions have the characters do, it seem so monster like and inhumane.
YO IM SO HAPPY U MADE THIS, THE BOXER IS THE BEST WEBTOON IN THE HISTORY OF WEBTOON!!! TYSMM🙏
IF THIS AINT IN YOUR TOP 3 WEBTOON I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS cause this series is fire
I think the time warping is on purpose. I think it shows how yu himself is soo enthralled in his depression/his training, that time isn't even real to him. It's just something that happens. Something that's constant but unseen
OMG YESS I ACCIDENTALLY AUDIBLY SQUEALED WHEN SEEING THIS VIDEO I'm so glad someone is finally talking about this webtoon, it's so well written and has really solid themes. From tricking the reader into thinking Yu is the protagonist and then revealing that he was basically everyone's antagonist all along and everyone else is the protagonist (he plays a lot with the assumed roles characters have in a story, and subverts expectations with it, it's really interesting), to the nuance each of his characters have, The Boxer makes me gush as a writer every time I read it. I also love how well the writer integrated Christian subtext, cause there aren't many great stories that use it to it's full potential, and The Boxer does it really well without shoving it in the reader's faces. I can go on and on about what makes The Boxer such a great webtoon. The art, the panel placement, pacing, there's soo much to cover. It's kinda sad that a lot of people don't give it a chance cause of the premise, or how stereotypical it seems at first glance.
loved this webtoon so much its so much deeper than it seems
in my top 3 for sure ive reread it so many times
This man's scripts are beyond God tier...
Hail SUFFERENTS-SAMA (THE GOD OF SCRIPTING AND VOCABULARY)
YES BRO *edit I’m seriously proud that your doing the boxer Your growth is immense and I remember when you went by the name dressrosa keep it up man. 👍🏾
(I am Brazilian)
I loved your review about this webtoon. I'm a big manga lover and I found this webtoon amazing
I started reading it when it was in a really early stage and it has been one of my favorite webcomics, great stuff, very emotional 10/10
the quick cuts with the black and white filter keep fuckin getting me man
I didn't expect you to make a video on this but I clicked immediately when I saw!! The Boxer actually has a spin-off series now going, centered around Jay and Ryu! (Called Ill-Fated Relationship) I've finished The Boxer and am caught up with the spin-off- it was one hell of a ride. I really love how the author would show a seemingly random imagery on one hand, before hitting you in the head with the other. It made every episode seem planned with all this foreshadowing!
If you want, I have a mystery thriller recommendation! It's called Pig Pen by Carnby Kim. (Author of Sweet Home, Bastard, and Shotgun Boy). About this man stranded in an island, not remembering who he is, while he finds himself in trouble between a family that could be serial killers. We follow the protagonist trying to pick up clues about the family, this place, even memories of himself. I have to tell you, the story beats where we learn everything with the protagonist is a total _mind fuck_ I hope you can check it out!
Literally adding Pig Pen to my read list right now!!! I didn't know the author had started a new series but Sweet Home and Bastard were 2 of my favourite webtoons
@@SIX06_ Pig Pen came between Sweet Home and Bastard actually :D! And Shot Gun Boy came after Sweet Home. (A spin off, too). Now I hope you're prepared to experience Pig Pen, I'm not kidding when the mind fuckery escalates
Been a while since a book could make me cry but this did it. Absolutely a favorite now and getting recommended to everyone in ear shot
I stopped watching this vid from the start and decided to read the manhwa. Now I finished the manhwa and decided to watch this vid again, I can just say that its beautiful, It made me feel mixed emotions, 1 chapter I'll be crying then next chapter I'll be laughing. Its really a masterpiece. Shame that I only discovered it this late.
I'm not sure if you've read it, but you should definitely try reading "The Horizon" by the same author. I don't think it's officially translated but it's the author's debut work and it's probably my favourite manhwa by far.
great video! I really enjoyed The Boxer for the same reasons you stated. I'll have to add Horizon to my reading list!
When I woke up today I didn't expect to spend whole day reading the manhwa but now that I finished the boxer I can say that you are definitelly right in that it has less to do with boxing and more with characters around it. I would say that this manhwa is about what iis the meaning of life more than boxing. I mean it was kinda obvious closer to the end but I had that feeling through whole manhwa
i love this editing style
I’ve already started and it’s… wow. Every character gets there time to shine. Guys I’m guessing we’re not gonna see again get backstory’s that explains there story. Like the guy with orange hair and red eyes. He worked his ass off only for him to see that despite his hard work. He isn’t gonna be able to achieve his dream because there are one in a thousand people and theirs are one in a million people. I’m honestly excited to see how it goes and I’m excited how they’ll write the higher ups
Not sure if you saw btw it’s getting an anime adaptation 12 episodes but no confirmed release date
Best Manwha I have ever read, made me cry so many times
this is what made me move i cryied at a hard part of my life i was emotionless but for the first time in a year i cryied
1that season finale legit made me cry.the music is so well done.
The boxer is more than comic, it is art, it tell us more than what was shown in the page. Sadly, just like art, it is not for everyone, I shown some of my friends the boxer and they said it suck since the fight is not very well explained. (They compare it to Hajime ippo). But ofc, the boxer was never just about boxing, boxing was just a tool to tell the story.
Is so well written bro I Fucking love this so much
I think he does care if he lives or dies I mean at the start he dodged a punch that could kill him so I think he does care about death to an extent
I walked into this story wanting to read about boxing. I walked out with an entirely different perspective. I love it.
Side note but really like the editing
this has been in my backlog for months but now i'm getting into it
Went in for boxing left with life lessons and puffy eyes.
I am proud to say I was there when they only started out with little chapters
Like Yu and J is still getting beat up by that Albino Bakugo early
I think there are like 4/5 webtooms that drag me in like the boxer did, and all of them are fabulous.
I love ryu the end was amazing
Thanks for putting me on
Just got done reading this. Man it was so good but after he fought the two brothers it’ felt rushed. Especially his last fight. But over it was still very good.
Boxer is the first manga/webtoon/manhwa to make me bawl my eyes out like a b*tch. Truly far more than I expected but everything I wanted, this story did the best thing a story can, it make me feel. One of the best pieces of fiction out there
I think the author integrated the backstories of the characters very well
>see emotionally crippled child in the streets
>”the stars are shining just for you”
>leave
Fking madlad
"I SEE where they're coming from"
I don't know what you see with all the feels and tears reading this
The ending i read 16 times its sooo good
It's a plesant surprise when I saw that there was a video essay on this Webtoon
Sports stories are usually not about sports! That doesn't sound weird at all. Sports are a really neat device for moving characters along. a game or a match has some obvious beginning, middle, and end, and frequently forces friends and rivals alike to compete. They also lend themselves well to mentorship arcs and overcoming adversity. Webtoons sleeps on sports webtoons like nobody's business.
I hope you talk about love advice frome the duke of hell next. I know it sounds like a shitty isekai or sth but its a rom com but with internet humour. It is incredibly funny aand deep too.
I still remember reading the last main story episode and I started crying in the middle of reading it, obsurdly powerful
The boxer has been one of two WEBTOONs to make me cry and I love it
this is one of my (if not the) best manhwa I've read in my life I SWEAR
The boxer is getting an anime adaptation, it was announced in april 17 can't wait
a well crafted story that anyone would love!
OHHH thiss webtoon, i remember dropping this before bc fighting webtoons wasn't my thing back then and I was choosy af on choosing what I read, looks like I'm reading this later
the boxer as the best story out there its not going to be a debate. it change the way i think and im not the type to cry but this series made me do that more then three times.
i highly recommend this to anyone who can read.
glad to see someone talking abt the boxer
The Boxer is a fantastic series that truly stands out from the rest, a series that I 100% believe is the objectively best WEBTOON, glad to see people agree.
this one made me cry and i felt emptiness and i tried to unalive myself
