>What is this about?>Kenichi, who has been bullied but wishes to be strong, joins Karate club upon entering senior high school. However, he gets picked on by the other pupils in the club everyday. One day, Kenichi meets Miu, a beautiful girl who has just transferred from another high school. On Miu’s suggestion, Kenichi decides to be a disciple of Ryozanpaku, a mysterious training establishment. Kenichi could not imagine the brutal training he receives from the martial arts masters there… However, now Kenichi is marked by Ragnarok, a street gang group, and he is constantly defending himself from them.In light of recent sequel news I thought I could do with a rereadI haven't read this since it ended back in the day so in a lot of ways this will be more than just a refresherApologies for the scan quality it's the best we (I) haveAt a volume per day we should end a little bit after the new chapter hase come out
the scans are fucking shit tho, i was waiting to do the same but the scans are garbage
>>285742949We'll suffer like our forefathers did
It isn't even so much the scan quality that will bug meIt'll be the typesetting and the fact the series goes through like 20 different TL groups
>>285742850>Chihiro:tch, I'm way better....>except for the chest....>kenichi:that is quite the oldfashioned gag.>miu:my glasses, my glassesFor those wondering.

>PDAIt really is the mid 00s
I remember the main girl was the worst girland that a side character ended up with a better haremand the rival was a lolicon
>>285743117Reading his secret agent kenichi manga I noticed that the author really likes using those dramatic black speech bubbles.
>>285743244did he ever do anything remotely as good as kenichi?
>>285743217>the rival was a loliconIn his defense there is only a 3 year age gap.She just got really uguufied.
>>285743297I remember that over time she becomes shorter and shorter but her hips and butt become bigger and bigger
>>285743280Only other work I read was his secret agent manga and it basically was Kenichi, but he is a secret agent now and his love interest was not!shigure.It was alright and it had reslectable run, despite it never getting an anime.That being said I remember Kenichi being better, but it's been over a decade since I last read Kenichi.His manga right after kenichi got axed and only got a few chapters translated and his latest manga also got axed appearantly and never got translated.
>Y/N?
>>285743360Also pretty based
>>285743280There was one about a 3-way war between ninjas, robots, and sorcerers, but the scans stopped coming in, so I don't know if it ever reached the same heights as Kenichi.
A real team effort there
I've noticed that the second chapter already has names being written differently
>>285743983>I'm being bullied because I'm not strong/smart/attractive>WRONG>you're being bullied because you are differentToo real...

>>285744335>>285744355there we go, the little sister that slowly becomes a loli even though she is clearly a teen at the start.

>>285745432I really loved seeing the slow progression of Kenichi's combat abilities.
Good for you, senpai
O.O
>>285745426I like how I can actually understand what he's doing.
>>285745572The movements in this series aren't always super duper clear, but that one is well done

>>285746288Good idea. This manga puts me in a training mood.
>>285746065My favorite tsundere master
>>285745997Sex incarnate has arrived
>>285743184MY GOAT FOR REAL!!!>>285746202>>285746288Thanks Magister. Are you hyped about the sequel? I hope Kenichi could make better use of the manga's early ideas, such as Musashi's overall "using the land's power in your favor" in that wild kid's mini arc and Kenichi try to really learn/understand more about weapons from Shigure, that Staff's Master could also help in that since it isn't a "lethal weapon" per say. Furthermore, I would like Shigure and Renka's romantic interest in Kenichi to be handled more clearly from his point of view, even if it's not a top priority for the story right now.>And as a fun little extra; alongside Kenichi's effort to strengthen himself through martial arts I'm going to see if I can lose an appreciable amount of weight over the course of this storytimeFor that, consistency is essential. Try to perform exercises that don't put too much strain on the knee. As for sports, I would suggest swimming as it uses your entire body to move around the pool and doesn't cause as much knee damage as other sports.
>>285743117>>285746840truly.
>>285748549My main method is basically going to be cutting out snacking and maybe throwing in some light exercises I'm not going for anything dramatic or life style changingBut having a few dozen eyes on me that won't hesitate to jeer will still pressure me to give some kind of resultI don't wanna go swimming cuz I'm fat :c
>>285746288Gl bro you can do this
>>285745148not so hidden nipples
>>285746202thanks op.
>>285743184En to the TER.
>>285746202Thanks for the dump Magister. I've been waiting for someone to dump this.
>>285749189>My main method is basically going to be cutting out snacking and maybe throwing in I'm not going for anything dramatic or life style changing>But having a few dozen eyes on me that won't hesitate to jeer will still pressure me to give some kind of resultThat's okay. I believe that you should try exercising while reducing your intake of snacks if you want to see benefits faster. Homeostasis is a system in our bodies that regulatesparameters on it, including weight. It controls your present weight. Your intention to lose weight by altering your food intake will upset this equilibrium, but your body will still attempt to maintain your weight by consuming fluids. As a result, I suggest that you work out or exercise while doing that, attempt to cut back on their snack intake rather than completely eliminate them, by find healthy substitutes for them that avoid problems like "I will my change snacks for penauts" that might have the same fat intake that you are trying to avoid.>I don't wanna go swimming cuz I'm fat :csome light exercisesThat's fine, don't feel pressured to do something that you don't think you will be confortable on doing. When I was younger( and even nowdays) I don't like to be shirtless around people too.

>>285746202Thanks.
Oh this was one of the first mangas I've ever read. I do remember enjoying everything up until the last arc. The anime also did a really good job adapting this.
>>285742967God those those legs are divine.
>>285744452Her bodysuit permanently altered my brain chemistry.

The curves are nice and all but the eyebrows are what really gets me going here, fun shapes for everyone
time to enjoy pure kino before it devolves into shit after ragnarok
>>285754757The arc with the russian disciple was still good. It's a shame he didn't officially end up with the teacher.
>>285754757The disciple tournament was bretty good
>>285744452She is so perfect
>>285743628>>285743641>/a/ would make fun of Deku but not this guy

>>285745408>>285745413>>285745426>>285745448>>285745509I really enjoyed this scene in the anime. Coloring and cuts with the music had great impact.
>>285745570Having an alien on your side is always a good sign Kenichi or is it?
>>285747132These are artifacts of a bygone age now, anon. Unless it gets a new localization, this is likely to be the best scans you'll ever see.
>>285755553She is distractingly hot
>>285743668>>285743683>>285743692Based on what I've seen from this series, I am astounded that the most we get of a pantyshot in this sequence is a hint of it on the third page.I guess it took some time for it come out of its shell.
>>285743721Oh no, she cocked her fist! Do you realize how fucking powerful that makes her?!
>>285748549Martial arts katas are another good way to exercise without hurting your knees.
>>285745853Ah there she is, I assume.
>>285745997I'm a simple man: a see black hair in a ponytail with a katana, and I read. Also makes me wonder who I need to thank for this. Just general Japanese cultural archetypes going back centuries?
>>285755609The constant pokies from her sure is distracting
>>285755054it had some nice ass and titties
>>285746105It isn't that uncommon.Fma, the hero is dead, YYH, HxH and kuroko no basuke had the protags being trained by women.And those are just from the top of my head.
>>285754757Ragnarok was the point of no return because any sort of realism HSDK had until that point was thrown out of the window and it became "it's magic, I ain't gonna explain shit" kung-fu vs kung-fu in worldwide scale. Mind you, it could STILL work, but then the main issue of the manga kicked in: good guys are absolutely NOT ALLOWED to lose. No matter what. Nope.And there are three main drops in quality after thatKano Shou LOSING to Kenichi was the first and biggest one - sorry, but this one make no sense and mangaka is retarded for doing this. A prodigy from a 1000+ yo clan of supreme martial art warriors being trained since his very early years by some of the best masters in the world AND a genius teacher as his personal master does NOT lose to a kid with zero talent and only doing martial art training for a year at best, even if he's also being trained by some of the best masters in the world.Apachai surviving the fight with Agaard was the second one - it was the perfect moment for good guys to get their first loss and it was a great draw match where Apachai won with Saving Fist ideology by beating Agaard while Agaard won with Killing Fist ideology by killing Apachai. But nope, apparently you can fucking sew huge donut holes in people bodies! Doesn't help that Apachai does fuckall in manga after that.Jenezad losing to Hongou was the third one - no, losing for 99% of the fight and being overall inferior against your opponent only to pull a teleporting one punch with your body being broken is not TENACITY, it's bullshit plot armor.I'm not gonna talk about Eternal Sunset, that arc was rushed and over-the-top retarded.HSDK is full of great girls but man, all these years later I still want to breed Renka day after day after day.
>>285756039powerscaling fag please
>>285756039>>285756039Martial arts fights are about philosophy and ideals not power level.
>>285756083>powerscalingretard
>>285756251that is literally what you are doing
>>285755149What was Deku doing to self improve prior to being handed a silver platter? Ken was at least attempting
>>285744250Karate? Chump arts. Learn a real Martial Art. A simple redirection of force is all he needs
>>285756270Powerscaling would be listing every goddamn master in the series starting from Fortuna and ending with Elder and that old weapon guy with two zanmatos, same for disciples and "people in-between". Pointing out poor writing is not powerscaling.>>285756247>philosophy and idealsToo bad, this is not the manga where it matters. Which is why later HSDK is only good for fanservice.
>>285744620As bait for people to attempt (and fail) at challenging her
>>285756360>Too bad, this is not the manga where it mattersExcept that all fights in this series are dictated 100% by philosophy, from the very first fight.You think some retarded manlet like kenichi could really defeat a giganigga like the karate guy after practicing ONE MOVE for ONE WEEK?
>>285745012Boy needs to buy himself a 16-bit Smegma Kenesis machine
>mfw I am a bred for murder and rape killing machine containing trillions of cells and die due to a mindless self-replicating viruswho balanced this dogshit?
>>285756389>You think some retarded manlet like kenichi could really defeat a giganigga like the karate guy after practicing ONE MOVE for ONE WEEK?Yes, because him and Miu bet on everything with that move thanks to rules in the official karate match working in Kenichi's favor (and the karate dude he fought wasn't the smartest guy around). Now if the fight happened on the street then sure, he'd beat the shit out of Kenichi who had no real training prior to that.
>>285745997Christ Almighty. Look at those eyebrows. Pure sex
>>285745997should've been raped
>>285756494>manlet that literally never fought before would be able to knock giganigga unconscious after 1 week of practicing one move because karate ruleslol
Can we keep tabs of designs that were inspired or blatantly ripped off from other sources? Miu is clearly Cammy White inspired for example. and I believe one guy took come cues from Terry Bogard
>>285743641classic Holyland maneuver
>>285746105Tenjou Tenge Maya x Nagi is pretty good
Shigure is hot but so is Miu. All the girls are good in this manga, really.
>>285757401Best girl is the loki fangirl with the goggles
>>285743481Yeah Miu is cute>>285743526Kenichi it's going to be a hell of a journey

>>285758343I think that's the word yeah.
>>285743264>looks averageCloseted faggot or has some goodness in him?
>>285746202Thanks I haven't read this story in years and never finished it because of the scan quality. The girls are still hot and Kenichi masters are just as cool as I remember.
>>285746288I'll be one of those dorks and admit a combination of Kenichi, Joe, North Star, and Kinnikuman got me into the gym daily at highschool. I was one of those 90lbs dweebs as a freshman. Even the runt of a martial arts club (boxing)Thank you, Shigure. Your round and shapely bum kept me motivated on those cold rainy winter runs
BASED, THANKS!Also, iirc this is Kenichi 2/RebootWhat happened, why did Shun remade Kenichi?
>>285758694>bumwhy do you bongs call the ass such an unpleasant and unflattering termnot as bad as others but still
>>285759059I prefer the term "bunda" personally.
>>285745262>>285745034>>285751445The power of "Girls will be watching."
>>285745807Women love violence, everybody knows that.
Honestly I love Boris act, he is probably the best rival Kennichi has. The rest kinda one-note to be honest.
>>285757401Kisara, Freya, Renka, Rachel, all good.
>>285759785I even like the bitchy kodachi user from the last arc. Matsuena was inspirared here.
I had only heard of this manga in passing. How long is it? Might be fun to follow along the daily.Also, how did the mangaka get away with "draw chicks buck ass naked complete with nipples and cameltoe, then lightly color in a leotard"?
>>285760315it was a different time
>>285760315Flame of Recca had nudity and that was an amazing Shonen too
>kenichi>Flame of Recca>kenshinI really should go back and finish reading all these old shounen manga that I only read the startshame the scans are probably gonna be shit
>>285756039Allow me to disagree with your first statement. As a martial artist Ragnarok was totally realistic. Actually most things are, I tried all techniques in the manga they're all legit except for the masters, guys are flying and punching through walls but I guess it's the comical aspect of the manga.>the kenichi have no talent memeI'm pretty sick of this bullshit. Ken-chan learn a technique in 1 fucking week and throw a big karate/judo guy at his first fight. Kenichi have the greatest talent of all : Being able to train 7 days a week without fainting. My body don't allow me to do that and that's the only reason why I'm not already a black belt. This guy have 5 masters training him and still manage to be alive, if it isn't a talent I don't know what it is.
>>285742904hnngh
>>285760391It was the best of times. It was the coomest of times.

>>285745807Her nipples are always hard.
>>285745742There were plenty of artists when this came out that could draw nice tits, but hardly any that could draw such a good figure. Hips, core, butt, legs, he had it all and was way ahead of his time in that regard.
>>285756039I disagree with your first point It's shonen so the MC should win, kenichi isn't a zero talent it's more he has insane talent to pick up everything so fastI do agree with point 2, or at least leave him noticeably crippled for a while after.The last arc was the worst, it just felt like he wanted to wrap it up. Definitely the worst arc in the whole mangaLast spoiler 100% agree, completely validates everything.
>>285761675he shoved in so much shigure ass to make it tolerable
>>285761532imagine naruto girls drawn by this guy
>>285755662The manga really amped it up towards the last 100-150 chapters.
>>285761009Jesus that's long. How do you keep a manga running that long and still have a rushed ending?
>>285756039I half agree.
>>285757401I actually prefer the girls other than Miu and Shigure.
>>285761906>To celebrate Weekly Shonen Sunday's 55th anniversary, 55 new manga series were launched throughout the year beginning in March 2014.They had to make room for these new manga so axe, Axe AXE!
>>285761984for me, it's Freya
>>285762194best part is all those 55 were shit
>>285762370She's real good.
>>285758343>shes a satsujinkenNo, satsujinken is the philosophy that martial arts' purpose is killing and that's not the case for her.She is however a "dou" ki type (ki that explodes from emotion), which more commonly leads to death during battle.
>>285760705>if it isn't a talent I don't know what it is.Not talent, but actually good teachers that adapt to the disciple's abilities.
>>285762194>>285762379Is the person responsible for that decision still around?
>>285762558Are you implying my muay thai sensei is abusing his students by forcing 600 abs at the end of the training? I can't believe you.Okay I wrote this as a sarcasm but when you see ken-chan's training it's not very different.
>>285745948>Apachai is now younger than meIt's over. Re-reading older manga is a mistake.

>>285763094tenth degree master baitor
>>285761700Yeah shigure pretty much was the only reason to keep reading for that part.
>>285762370Her eyes and eyebrows made it seem like she was related to Shigure
>>285745396A hunter is a hunter, even in a dream.
>>285763740thats what i thought at first but a bunch of people have the squiggle brows. and kenichis hairstyle appears a bunch of times too
>>285742904Holy moly!How could I have missed this masterpiece?!
>>285764226Well, no better time to get acquainted
Why are there 2 Kenichi manga series?
>>285764185eyes and eyebrows aren't the only thing they have in common
>>285764504There was an original one that had a short run and another that was a complete reboot that repurposed characters and extended the story. The second is considered canon.
>>285764751The series always had fanservice, but the last 2 arcs really overdid it. All of the girls were fighting naked and every panel was angled to be 80% tits/ass.
>>285764813the author probably just tried to do everything he could to avoid the axe (which wasn't really warranted because the series got replaced with a bunch of garbage anyways).
>>285764751>>285764865>FreyassHNNG
I knew we occasionally had Kenichi threads, but I'm still surprised about how many people still care about this series.
>>285743184ENTERENTER
>>285743297Tanimoto is just a wise boy playing the long game. Have you seen Kenichi's mom? She'll get to enjoy the best of both worlds eventually as she grows up.
>>285765738>playing the long gameHe never had a choice to begin with.
>>285765738>>285765849she unironically grooms him.
really this manga should've been filled with rape
>>285765123I used the sequel news as a jumping off point but it's felt like /a/ has been lightly buzzing for a Kenichi storytime for a long time
>>285743184/our liege/!
>>285755602Fuck
>>285765022>>FreyassTop 3 between her, Shigure and Miu.
>>285766484>no rachel
>>285766484One legged jeans girl with the smol chest has the best ass actually.
>>285766484I hate how Takeda cucked the sumo guy out of nowhere, instead of organically ending up with Renka.
>>285766484its criminal that everytime someone brings up brown tomboys they arent talking about freya
>>285766862highly molestable boobies
>>285766908that belong to judo-kun
>>285766951The judo guy had a better harem than the main character>freya>Kisara >jujitsu loli
>>285766862hopefully she has some part to play in the new sequel
>>285766484Rachel got a nice ass but not top 3
