Regardless of Ippo's boring fights, there are moments of interesting boxing action. Specifically, the writing and choreography of the fights seem to become levels better when Ippo is not one of the participants. This shows in two places in the show - a short arc about Ichiro Miyata training in Mexico, and the subplot about Takamura Mamoru earning and defending his title. In both of these the viewer finds more complex characters and detailed, well-thought out fights that capitalize on everything their respective subplots have to offer. If only there was more of these sorts of fights and less of Ippo winning not because he deserves it but because he has to win somehow for the plot to progress.
The manga has been compiled into three print and four digital tankōbon volumes. An anime television series adaptation produced by Lapin Track aired on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block from July to September 2023. Plot[edit] Set in an alternate timeline, during the Belle Époque era in the late 19th century, where supernatural creatures such as vampires and oni exist in the same world as humans. Tsugaru Shinuchi, an experimental half-oni known as the Oni Slayer, accepts a job from an immortal woman named Aya Rindo with her loyal servant Shizuku Hasei. Tsugaru wishes to find a way to extend his lifespan, while Aya exists solely as a talking head who wants to die. When they both realize the person behind their current predicament was a wealthy foreigner with an "M" printed on his cane, they leave Japan for Europe and try to track him down. While trying to locate Aya's missing body and hopefully their target with it, the trio take on supernatural mysteries across Europe with Tsugaru taking on the persona of "The Cage User" for the birdcage he carries with Aya's head inside. Characters[edit] The Cage User[edit] Aya Rindo (輪堂 鴉夜, Rindō Aya) Voiced by: Tomoyo Kurosawa[2] A young Heian era woman and a yōkai, who is beheaded by an unknown half-demon assailant from Britain and has her headless body taken away. Since she is a demon, she cannot die (though being decapitated by a half-demon means she cannot heal herself) and thus her head continues to live on, ultimately seeking support from Tsugaru to get her body back and take revenge on the man who left her like this. Tsugaru Shinuchi (真打 津軽, Shin'uchi Tsugaru) Voiced by: Taku Yashiro[2] A former member of a special oni extermination squad charged with slaughtering monsters across Japan during the Meiji Restoration. At some point, he was injected with oni blood by the same man who beheaded Aya and turned into a half-oni himself.
