Why couldn't Kenichi just be about real martial arts, kind of like how it was for the early arcs?
It just went for the generic superpower Dragonball Z freakshow route.

I FUCKING KNOW
God that was a good anime.
Matthew Hill
Read Holyland, more street though.
Can't tell what's worse, HSDK or Tenjo tenge.
Samuel Collins
Real martial arts actually requires decent animation.
Nathan Mitchell
That's why we don't have any anime outside of the ragnarok arc.
Kayden Moore
Why couldn't the masters actually have weaknesses? Their fights were all shit because they were too OP (even Shigure's).
Adrian Sullivan
The masters are literally flying in the early chapters. What did you expect? The non-master fights are great and realistic enough so it's fine on this point.
Thomas Hernandez
Tenjo Tenge by far. Normally I'm fine with rape and NTR, but it felt really pointless and hamfisted in this manga; plus, almost none of the characters were likable
Yeah, master fights should have just been for comedic purposes, like they were early on.
Jonathan Gray
I hate how we never got see Kenichi's adult form, all we see is his giant ass muscular arm and how he writes that he became the greatest Martial Arts master in the world. He also had kids with Slutty Cowtits Mcgee, right? I was happy they ended up together, they made a cute couple. I just really wanted to see Adult Kenichi in action, or at least what he looked like.
Chase Robinson
I just wanted him to be a doctor that punched people healthy than a writer.
Jeremiah White
I tried reading his new manga and it just made me realize I don't really like his current art style. Plus some of the characters looked like they were ripped straight from Kenichi and he just added some more details to them. I actually liked it better in the beginning.
Jaxon White
Kenichi is basically wuxia right from the beginning. The masters' place is even called fucking Ryouzanpaku (aka the place most noted as being the setting for Water Margin, one of the earliest wuxia novel ever). Sorry, but the jokes are on you if you were expecting purely real martial arts.
Hunter Powell
The jokes were on everyone who stuck with this, considering how shit the master-level fights were, or the slow-ass progression until the terrible abrupt ending. It was like trudging through a desert and at the end of the journey someone peed in the oasis.
Blake White
No, no, I like the eastern fantasy elements, but there's a limit. Master fights went too far, but disciple fights found a happy medium
Leo Anderson
>Master fights went too far, but disciple fights found a happy medium
Just like the typical wuxia work. It's not a coincidence that people aware of the genre were making comparisons with works like Condor Hero.
Asher Baker
Read Baki, OP. The power creep is there, but instead of going DBZ it goes awesomely retarded.
Charles Green
That is creepy looking as fuck, my god. Did he just envision his skeleton having armor on it? I'm trying to figure out what is going on here, it looks like he is trying to picture his skeletal system.
And what the fuck are those things protruding out of his knees and connecting to his ankle? It looks like some alien armored skeleton human hybrid.
Jaxson Smith
He's using the power of imagination to pretend he has more joints so he can supersonic punch. Obviously.
Christian Diaz
Even the early arcs were retarded chinese martial arts.
Read Shamo for proper fight choregraphy, Baki for powerlevels and Holyland for drama.
Luke Watson
Does he do it and shatter all his bones in the process?
Noah Barnes
Kind of.
Adam Sanders
>This months releases getting fully translated
Angel Wright
I never forgive Oh great for killing off Maya Natsume.
>Gets pummeled and goes into a coma for a long time. Finally recovers for final arc and gets killed off for good.
Good writing.
Eli Russell
should have banged Renka
Daniel Gutierrez
Jesus fucking Christ....I can see the bone but it's still intact. It looks like he ripped his flesh in half down to the bone and you can see the muscle tissue, in all honesty it looks like he spilled acid on his arm and it's corroding right in front of him.
Also how his fingers are twisted, cringe as fuck.
Oliver Cox

At least Masataka got to be the one to take down the big bad. He deserved that middle school sword loli and so much more.

Kenichi did have amazing fanservice, it's only one of the reasons I thoroughly enjoyed the manga. It was about as close to borderline hentai as you could get without actually showing full on nudity and what not.
Ethan Lewis
Wish the Fairy Tail author would hurry up and show borderline nipples like Kenichi. No one gives a shit about the plot and it's already just a fanservice series.

Don't know how it got away with this level of fanservice in a major shonen mag, honestly. I was always surprised, every week, at the shit it got away with. But then, TLR exists.

Did it end already? I dropped it when they invaded that island to save the weapons girl
David Bennett
that was pretty much the last arc. You dropped it right near the finish.

There's only a handful of artists that could draw that. And I don't think anyone could do it in his style
If you think this is badly drawn you've probably never touched a pencil.

It seems like he could show nipples anytime he wanted without them being covered, I guess that's just the author's fetish.
