>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 reread
I haven't read this since it ended back in the day so in a lot of ways this will be more than just a refresher
Apologies for the scan quality it's the best we (I) have
At a volume per day we should end a little bit after the new chapter hase come out

Only 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.

MY GOAT FOR REAL!!!

>>285746202
>>285746288
Thanks 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 storytime
For 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.

That'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 :c
some light exercises
That'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.

>>285754757
Ragnarok 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 that
Kano 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.

Powerscaling 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.

You think some retarded manlet like kenichi could really defeat a giganigga like the karate guy after practicing ONE MOVE for ONE WEEK?

>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.

I'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)

Allow 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 meme
I'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.

>>285756039
I 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 fast
I 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 manga

Last spoiler 100% agree, completely validates everything.

No, 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.

Iirc, the manga got axed, including all the concurrent running series in the magazine because some dumbfuck had the bright idea to axe all running series for the magazine's anniversary. Not sure if it's the 50th or 100th anniversary but it doesn't matter.

Thank you OP. This is as good as I remember, maybe even better.

It's striking that it has a roughly similar premise to Violence Hurrah (hot girl lures loser to the path of battle), but the execution couldn't be any different. We at least get a glimpse of Kenichi's life and he has genuine friends and connections outside his next opponent.

Manga back then really had the luxury of fleshing things out.

but he's so cool, so it's okay.
>>
>>285768374
One of the points of the fight is that even a weaker fighter can defeat a stronger one with the right mindset. Jenazad was better in basically every way, but he didn't have the "tenacity" of Hongo, which created a mindset that made him make the wrong bet at the end of the fight (he didn't think Hongo would attack him with his broken hand/arm; I don't remember which).

It did make sense. The whole time Jenazad treated Hongo as a sideshow and wanted to face both karate masters at once. He was on a completely different level from them and Elder-tier, and that made him complacent. Hongo caught him with a gamble and won. If Jenazad gave Hongo his full focus and treated the fight with respect, it would have ended without him getting a single notable injury
