After Nagumo lost to the champion, Miyata asked
Ippo if he was broken. Ippo reassured him that he was fine and that he would train more before his coma-back match for the next stage. Later, Ippo went to the Kōrakuen Hall and watched Itagaki win by decision, Kimura get a draw, and Aoki win by knockout. After seeing those matches, Ippo desired to return to the ring and show off his New Dempsey Roll. Ippo walked Kimura home
since he had the most damage. Along the way, Ippo mentioned how he believed Aoki could get a title match against Iga and that Kimura should move up a weight class so he can keep winning, however, Kimura disagreed. Later, Ippo learned that his come-back match would be soon and would be the semi-final of Takamura's WBA/WBC middleweight title defence. While doing roadwork with Takamura, Ippo expressed how he believes no one can understand Takamura's perspective and thinks Takamura should stop being irritated and take things one step at a time or people would stop supporting him. Ippo asked if Takamura is lonely, to which Ippo was moved after hearing Takamura view the point he and
other world champions see when they reach the top as "extraordinary". Ippo believed that he may not be able to do it, but Takamura suggested for him to not think, but go for it. 10 Months in the Making Arc Ippo, following his ten month break against Alfredo, was shown a recording of his next opponent, Antonio Guevara from the Philippines, becoming the new Filipino featherweight champion after winning against Malcolm Gedo.
[266] In a review of the second volume, Leroy Douresseaux from Comic Book Bin also praised the story, specifically the way it tells comedy and drama. He also compared the series to the other superhero works like Tiger & Bunny and One-Punch Man,
stating that My Hero Academia proves that "manga can do superhero comic books that are every bit as imaginative as American superhero comics". [267] Manga Bookshelf praised the first volume for its art, saying that it demonstrated Horikoshi's skill very well, though criticizing it for having too much narration at some points. [268] Reviewing volumes 1 to 19, Michelle Smith from Soliloquy in
Blue called the plot "very good", but also stated that the main reason she liked the series was the characters, specifically praising most of the main cast.
