Chapter 62: Parfaits & Weight Loss
>>287066192Heh.Oh crap. My passport's expired, too. I have to renew it with a new selfie, too... Ugh...
>>287066508Kek, I had a similar experience a couple of years ago.
Would you an angry Akane?
Chapter 63: K.O. Time Announcement?!
>>287066785Yeah. As a 188cm Dutch-guy, I haven't met a woman who (even if angry) could fight against me.
TL-san...
Chapter 64: Each Of Them, The Night Before
>>287067486>would rather cut her teeth than her hairnow that's kind of silly
>>287065706oh no, okome can't have children anymore
>>287067652It's ok. The fat tanked it.
>>287067486I get what they're going for, but it's such a minuscule amount of weight. a tooth is like 1-2 grams. cut every tooth and you're only saving like 60 grams. how can that possibly be worth it?
Chapter 65: A Father's Voice, The Twentieth Time
>>287067817>>287067842these hoes are mentally ill
>>287067040I can already see what's coming...>>287067273>>287067295And these are reinforcing it...This is great.
They deserve it
>>287067398Oh god, this is just making what I KNOW is coming better.
>>287066785>Would you an angry Akane?It's not something I get to decide.
Can you see her naked in this story? (please say yes)
>>287067627>>287067792Not to (falsely) spoil anything, but my guess is she knew she needed dentistry done weeks or months or even years ago, but since she's afraid of doing dental surgery (or paying), she's been putting it off and off and off until she was just in too much distracting pain to ignore it anymore. And right before her world title match!?!? Stupid Ruby!!!!!The idea that the author brought up "weight loss" and "needs to just shave off a bit more, despite starving circumstances" is coincidental specifically for the purpose to get the reader to believe "she needed to lose weight, so she ripped out teeth from her mouth" and have enormous pity for her... but the reality is she just needed cavities filled or a general clean-up and it had NOTHING to do with her "losing weight." She's numb in the mouth from anaesthesia and doctors orders say "don't chew" so she eats soup. It's hysterical.We'll find out if my prediction for this is correct, but yeesh, this is well-written, imo.
>>287067710She's not fat! She's a 100% muscle machine!
>>287068290is this girl supposed to be half-black or something?
>>287068299The Osaka equivalent of a Korean.
Baller MC.I wonder if he's based on someone.
>>287067934OH, I THINK I SEE HOW THE "REVEAL" OF HER DENTAL WORK IS GONNA HAPPEN!! She'll make a huge smile when she enters the match and her teeth will be perfectly aligned and white and shiny, and the audience will be enamored by the sight, but all her friends will realize this was all out of vanity and had nothing to do with weightloss and become bitter.For the entire volume, if my guess is correct, I am LOVING this!
Chapter 66: Bell & Rush
>>287068492One of the things this manga gets absolutely right are the bonkers audience comments.
HERE WE GO!
>>287068622>Now: One of the biggest in the entire Featherweight>Soon: One of the smallest in the entire LightweightYou're in for a rough time, there, Ruby... Llemme see that smile you've been hiding!
Great expression.
>>287068786HOLY KWAB
>>287068771>Great expression.Yeah... But I'm becoming disappointed about the humor I was predicting...
Chapter 67: Before Your Moves Are Read
>>287068885>can't grit her teethdidn't even think about that. choke flag incoming.
I love how the lack of force from not being able to bite is acknowledged.
>>287068771>>287068873Oh, wait wait wait... OF COURSE! She's still wearing a mouthguard!!! It when she REMOVES THE MOUTHGUARD after this match is over (probably winning) and everyone gets to see her brilliant, bright, white clean teeth!! THAT's the reveal!! My hopes are revitalized!!>>287069059True, you could read her inner monologue as regret, but I read it as justification. She is actually HAPPY with herself, when she went to the dentist, that she DIDN'T get any teeth pulled; she just got a cleaning. Oh I want this volume, this fight, to go the way I'm guessing. That will instantly get me to torrent this and start suggesting it. I have to see it resolve itself like that....
>>287069135YES! YESSS!! THIS HAS TO BE WHAT I'M THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!I WANT THIS SO BADLY!!!
>>287069171....wait!WAIT NO!DAMN IT!!!
>>287069279sheesh, I cringed. this artist is good at hard impacts.
DOWN!!
>>287069360>She seems quite desperateOh please let this all be build up to the reveal.>Gotta finish this round quickly!>I can't let this go on long!>I can't let her hit my head!>I'm in the worst possible state for that!>It would ruin everything!I want this payout so much.
Chapter 68: Counter Devotion
>>287069575She's in her head.
>>287069712knocked silly
>>287068949>a pro boxer ain't a woman!savage
>>287069762And now Ruby is gonna be PISSED!You hit my face after I went to the dentist!?!? You RUINED my announcement to promote myself to lightweight! Now my tooth is crooked!!!All this volume, introducing Ruby as a woman who needs to overcome her fears (height), a woman who is constantly fighting against her weight to meet outside standards, a woman with years and years and years of experience but still wants more, she knows what she's doing at every part of her life and even though it's hard on her, she knows to be making the better choices... but she just got counterpunched!? To her jawline!?!? OH THAT BITCH IS GOING DOWN, NOW!!!!
Chapter 69: What Ever Happened To Tenkai Ruby?
>>287069964>What Ever Happened To Tenkai Ruby?Chapter title!!!! YES YES YES YE SYE SYOP, I'll tell you this right now; I'd never heard of, or seen, this manga.But I am LOVING this!And everything I'm reading HAS TO BE pointing to what I think the payout is, and I LOVE YOU for posting it! This is extremely fun to read and I am thoroughly enjoying myself... even if I turn out to be wrong.
>>287070046Glad you're liking it.
>>287070120I like ruby, I hope she doesn't job even though that's where the story seems to be pointingruby jobs, okome gets crushed seeing her senpai get fucked and then gets filled with determination to avenge ruby and japan. and then big ugly gets humbled. who knows
Amateur has to learn to grow, introduced characters have to learn self-confidence, the readers need to empathize or even sympathize with how difficult preparing for fight is... let alone participating in it! Physically and emotionally!And, by contrast, we discover the champion with so many years of experience and battles, a woman who still quietly has her own fears to try and overcome, who we need to see as someone to look up to and respect and see as "wise" and hold as an example to idolize... is actually wild in-fighting and vain! Just like the heavyweight opponent is all those things but downright narcissistic in her ideal of self-beauty.
>>287070342>tearing your ACL in boxing of all sports
>>287070201>who knowsI'm guessing the jobbing from the established champion Ruby is all flags. It actually meant to do two things: build up the self-confidence of this clingy, shy korean fighter when she loses but realizes she wants to continue, and the second is pull the rug out from under the reader in a comical plot twist of "Ruby was NEVER in a worse condition without her teet: it's all 100% vanity and she went to the dentist so she'd look pretty when she announces her goal to take the lightweight title after she defends this featherweight title" which will make all her friends/coaches/side-characters immediately feel like Ruby has been purposefully fooling all of them and become bitter about it, becoming angry with her.As for Okome, I have to imagine she going to learn more about boxing and maybe learn some more restraint.They'll both win, I think, though.
>>287070222>beautiful>fancyThis is all helping~
Chapter 70: No Knocking Out!
>>287070364>Ruby wants attention, any way she can get itTHIS IS HEADING THERE, IT HAS TO
Girl, you stupid!
>>287070697WOMAN MOMENT
>>287070697HAhaha! YES! Keep it coming!!
>>287071063>tragic flashbackI've seen enough. Pack it up, Ruby. You're done.
And done!How do you like the fight between them so far? For an appatizer it's been enjoyable. It's hard to deduce who's going to take the victory.Again, all thanks to the anon who is working on the manga. And see you when volume 8 gets translated.
>>287071122It's fun. Nice to have a serious and brutal fight when Okome's fights usually have a bit of slapstick.
>>287071122I can only hope my observations, both of the fight and author, come to fruition.Also, I'm going to go read that desuarchive and then probably download a torrent, now.
>>287071122Thank you for posting.
>>287070892>go up against an opponent whose entire style depends on understanding your boxing>be resistant to switching upIf anything, her multiple-style mastery should absolutely destroy this opponent.
Never heard of this manga before. Can someone redpill me on this cute fridge and what you like about her?
>>287067317This page is dangerously lewd.
Looking at the desuarchive iteration of Ruby, she's depicted as open-mouthed, big-nosed, and more than a little uncouth and rough all the way through.Yet, this volume, once reaching Korea, she's got nose-care done, her eyes are permanently in fashion, she looks in-Vogue, is keeping her mouth closed, trying to look demure...I enjoy an author who is setting up their story, if even for a joke. Quality stuff.
>>287073463Gap moe. Huge chubby redneck punches holes in things and people.
The characters in this manga look like they were designed by someone from the 90's Nickelodeon channel, but the panels and actions are quality. Also, comically, the background art is ridiculously aesthetic compared to the actors
>>287065372the champ is here
>>287074264Sounds hot as fuck. I should give it a try.
>>287065344Cool. I've been keeping up on mangadex. I wish I didn't miss the previous volume dump, I had some shit I wanted to say about it
>>287070725lol
>>287071122it's too comical a manga to have side fights this long
>>287077738The fights are genuinely fun to engage and invest in, though. Plus, given the comical nature, you can still have more fun discussing "why" a side-fight than "who wins" a side-fight.I'm planted on the idea that this Featherweight Title Match is sheer vanity, with the opposite proposed idea of what just happened to her teeth. Seeing that reveal happen will be fantastic; I'm really hoping for it.I mean, I spoiler that only because I recognize this manga apparently ran for 6 years about 10 years ago up to Volume 18, but I dunno if I wrong, either. Plus, nyaa hasn't got CRAP for this series. Volumes 1-3. I'd read the RAWs, but they aren't as easy to find...
BumpPOW
I'll really be glad when we can move on from this pair of cunts. God, they're so fucking obnoxious it's unreal.
>>287081242The Korean pair?I think it's brilliant fun.Soo-Ji (Featherweight) is clearly unaware of what her talent is and also doesn't care to explore it; she loves her "only friend" and just wants to make her happy. We can see it's deserved, too.Bo-Sang (Heavyweight) is both genuinely vain and narcissistic (loving that her friend is always sucking up and acting as her "Yes-man") but she's not a truly loathesome bitch; she looks to have an eye of compassion to her, at least when it comes to the people she likes. I'm betting she's just-as-clingy as Soo-Ji, but is hiding it for her benefit.But, well, the real fun is how her "look at me" contradictory vanity is clearly comical given how big and ugly she is, especially when compared to her friend or the protagonist Okome. It's all setting up to a fun payout, imo, and seeing her cosplaying nonchalence Vogue idiocy is pretty well-written, imo. Writing a character to display genuine flaws, and to keep those flaws, is the right thing to do - making everyone a Superman is much less interesting.
