Recently, a kind soul has translated the very first chapter of Grappler Agitou by the great Keisuke Itagaki. Let us have a storytime!
>>283651772No idea what's with Itagaki and people pretending to sit. It shows up like 4 different times throughout Baki. Starting to think his writing style might be just autistic ticks that he expresses eloquently.
>>283651418Ahh Itagaki and his depiction of bizarre feats of strength and dexterity, now I know this guy is strong because he yanked a womans pubes out.
>>283651875They are Chekov's pubes as seen in the panel below.
>>283651783>No idea what's with Itagaki and people pretending to sit. It shows up like 4 different times throughout Baki.I would guess some trainer told Itagaki to do it when he was a teen/young man and it formed a lasting memory of "wow, you would have to be strong".
>>283652010I've done it for training before, it's called the Horse Stance and it originated from CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS(With the proud history of FOUR THOUSAND YEARS.),It's really really good for your spine as well as the muscles of the core.
The end. The future chapters vary from untranslated to lost-media. Same with Make-Upper, a manga where an absurdly strong man travels the world making those in need BEAUTIFUL again. Also by Itagaki.
