Synopsis

Satoru Tsukishima has just been confessed to by fellow high school boxing club member Yae Saotome, who is currently the Kanto region's Female Featherweight Champion. Overjoyed at first, Satoru isn't able to accept her feelings as he believes that she should be focusing on boxing instead. Yae's championship will soon be on the line, and the entire school is counting on her to someday represent Tokyo in the Olympics. It also doesn't help that he's nowhere near as skilled as she is, conflicted by the thought of a rising star being in a relationship with someone as average as him.

But when their coach finds out about the confession, Satoru is assigned as Yae's trainer so the two can secretly date and spend more time together while also engaging in club activities. However, if anyone finds out about the two, it will mean the end of their relationship. With this in mind, their pure and awkward romance begins!

The first 50-ish chapters were a slight drag. By around chapter 70 it picked up steam. By the end it gets real fast.

I don't particularly mind, as it stuck the landing, especially considering that he had to wrap it up in four chapters.

The story is good. Nothing particularly new, just done fine. No weird dramas and weird one-dimensional characters.

The romance is muted.

The art is fine. And author never fails the midriff.

Saotome Senshu is not bad, but it kind of ends out of nowhere, so you're left feeling that you wanted more of this. I really wanted more, but it's a really good manga. You won't regret reading this one; it is funny and good. I honestly would recommend everyone read this one.

The art is very good. It starts off a bit disappointing, but gradually it begins to improve more and more, and it ends up being very good. Really good. To the point where the characters are well-drawn, you feel their embarrassment, and, in the end, it's quite fun.

I don't get it. I don't get the hype. It has a bland story. Almost no romance. No comedy.

A little more about it. The story is meh, at best. I'm not saying you can't enjoy it, I'm saying it is meh. Bland. There is something that seems like the start of some plot elements, but in the end its light, bland, meh. Some forced drama, but still light.
Next, no romance. Some cutely scenes, but thats it. You can't say that makes it a romance. Imagine a 2-hours war movie with 5 minutes of some people hugging and calling it a romance. Yes, the ...
