You aren't the only one OP. I will not let this thread die without 1 reply. Why did this mangaka have to die but fucking Nisekoi guy is still walking?

Tepuu isn't super popular but it definitely isn't unheard of.
Did the author actually die? I thought he was just really sick.

I heard he rushed the ending so it would be done before he died.

Natsuo is the best MC of any sports manga. Also this manga is a godsend for anyone who loves tomboys, delinquents and badass girls in general.

I do think it would make for a great anime, there's so much potential to flesh things out a bit. A competent director could probably make those scenes of Natsuo's family life that much more dread-inducing, also some sharply animated fight sequences could really freshen up the rather dull-looking first few volumes.

I remember reading it and dropping it because it felt like this bitch was just unstoppable, overpowered characters are not fun.

Author is alive.

That's sort of the point, which is why her losses are major story events which incite character development.

It's sort of like an inverted shounen manga where you WANT the MC to lose, for her own sake.

Also for the few volumes it's not even clear she's overpowered, as soon as she joins the MMA gym she starts getting her ass kicked until she hits the tournaments.

>for the few volumes

for the first few*

I read it and loved the shit out of it.
I follow MMA intensely and do it myself so reading something as real as this was a perfect fit for me.
It's a real shame it had to end the way it did but at least we got an ending I guess?

I still find it funny that this series was plagued with hiatuses and still managed to fit neatly beginning to end I to the time that Guts was on the boat.

What was the ending again?

Also I might have this wrong but wasn't she a sadistic bitch who gets off her brother becoming a shut in loser because she told off the bully who was targeting her brother thus making everyone else make fun of him even more?

>It's a real shame it had to end the way it did but at least we got an ending I guess?

Yeah, though I think the background characters were the least fleshed out aspect of the manga. I loved Yuzuko as a character and her backstory was cool, but the Brazilian girl just wasn't distinct enough from her (happy go-lucky, loves MMA) to make me want to see where her career would go. Natsuo's coach's mentor felt somewhat out of place as well, I assumed he was just going to be a joke character in the beginning but his grudge with the Brazilian guy was made out to be important for some reason.

>wasn't she a sadistic bitch who gets off her brother becoming a shut in loser

The opposite, she loved her brother and wanted to protect him but it just made things worse. There's an amusing dream sequence where Natsuo's brother is a huge badass and Natsuo is a popular girl loved by everyone.

It's pretty interesting that this idea of emasculation is the cause of Natsuo's falling out with her brother, a lot of manga wouldn't have gone there.

She was choked out by the other girl who had being doing mix martial arts all her life, which is what would happen.

And what this guy said about the whole brother thing.

Thanks user, thought for a second I really was the only one who read it. Sucks it never went further but yeah.

Yeah, Natsuo was great all around. She definitely fires up my neurons.
I feel like this is one of those manga that really deserve an anime, it would be so good.

imo Natsuo had to be overpowered because otherwise there would be no reason for half of the story. I rather enjoyed watching a /fit/ 6 foot highschool girl beat the shit out of her classmates.

Absolutely. It seemed like their were plans for a majority of the background characters that just didn't get to happen. I haven't read All Rounder Megaru, or whatever, but so far it seems to be the most well done MMA themed manga.

Wrong, I love Teppu and would be delighted to have more manga or an anime. Shame it never caught on and ended so abruptly.

I think Natsuo is literally the best MC of any manga I've ever read. Anyone familiar with the series would be hard pressed to name a better one.

There were many threads bitching about a lack of scans for months back when they were released. You might've missed them.

I cant find the others vol in spanish.

If it's not on bato it's not anywhere

I still haven't read the final chapter. I don't think I ever will.

Fuck yeah, I loved Teppuu. MC was best girl, which is unusually rare

I can't figure out if she's actually a well-written character, or if my huge boner for dominant athletic girls is clouding my judgement.

Natsuo is my waifu even though she would probably look down on me and think I'm trash. (Also lanky muscular body types are perfect and woefully unrepresented in manga.)

Part of what makes her so interesting is that even though the manga gives her a "tragic" backstory, it never exactly forgives her for being so cruel or suddenly redeems her. Her arrogance is just a facet of her personality and it's paradoxically easy to like her when you see that she's just a lonely sort of kid with issues.

It's good, and it leaves the series open to be continued. You should do it.

maybe i'm an idiot but what was Natsuo's motivation? Was she trying to win back her brothers affection by beating up naturally talented people like herself, or is she taking it out on herself for being naturally talented by beating up other talented people?

She fetishized it all. On top of it, he hated herself.

>he
Obv she

so just jumped the gun then

Doubtful, he was probably in remission or something

She wants to be normal.

She's a genius type character like Agon, but thanks to her family situation and lack of peers she's incredibly lonely, and she wants to be happy, which she associates with being normal because all the normal people are happy. She joins MMA because someone finally bested her, showing her that she did have peers so now she's trying to do the shonen training montage and overcome her hurdle so she can be "normal" and become happy

As far as her brother goes, I think she wanted to become so good at fighting that nobody would fault her brother for being emasculated.

Her other motivation is simply beating the shit out of happy tryhards.

She was jealous of people like Yuzuko who were well-liked and had something to strive for. So part of it was revenge and just pure malice. There was also that self-hatred element as says, though judging by the ending she also found meaning in doing MMA and actually working towards a goal.

She liked having to work hard at something.
Also I think that she wanted to try her hardest at something and still lose, because she thinks that will make her brother not hate her anymore.

This is my dilemma as well.
Though I think she's genuinely just a good character.

So really, who was the S and who was the M?

I don't know man but I always had a thing for this manga but never could explain why

Then I found Ryona... wew lad

Disgusting.

I think Natsuo's the only sadomasochistic one, Yuzuko was just a bonehead.

Why do you even like this then? some dominant queer fetishist you are

The personalities and their clashing, you sick fuck.

>Ryona
>Sick

>Personalities
Literally everyone in this shit is a terrible selfish person that disregards others, only one who doesn't seem to revolve around that is the NOT SHIROU dense girl

Looking back on it, Natsuo was definitely into Sanae.
Their whole relationship was really weird.

>ryona
>not sick
this place has gotten to you too much

>Literally everyone in this shit is a terrible selfish person that disregards others,
heavily debatable, to the point where you're strawmanning.

I'll help you out here, user. Sadism and Masochism are two different things. Sadists like to inflict pain. Masochists like to receive the punishment. They go together to create the term sadomasochists.

I think the manga covered the fact that Yuzuko was actually a sadist unconcerned about the well being of anyone else, and that she loved the sport enough to do anything to win.

There was a moment in the final match where Natsuo could have one by abusing the gash on Yuzuko's brow, but she didn't due to the fact that she wasn't a sadist. Natuso turned out to be the masochist who wanted to feel challenged and tested for the first time in her life. She may have opined about beating the grins off of everyone's face, but she was always excited when she was getting beat on or was near losing.

Just food for thought.

She feels haunted by her past. From what I gather she thinks if she had been just cute little sister instead of the tomboy protector of her brother some stuff wouldn't have happened.

Older brother would be dating karate girl and everything would be great.

Like she doesn't feel comfortable being a protagonist because she stole the role from big brother.

But now she is getting her ass handed to relieve stress. Going Pro ain't that easy.

I mean the manga makes jokes about Natsuo being a masochist all the time, and considering her attitude to people like Sanae, it's not subtle that she's into both giving and receiving.

But I don't think you could call Yuzuko a sadist any more than you could call any competitive sports player a sadist. She doesn't express any kind of pleasure in the act of beating down opponents, she just cares about having fun and winning. She stated over and over to be so single-minded that she doesn't care about the nature of her opponent, so I doubt she gets pleasure in seeing their pain. (Keep in mind that she never seems particularly bitter towards Natsuo, only anxious to fight her - if she were the type to carry grudges, or had an ego to defend, I could definitely see it. But she doesn't seem to care about things outside of fighting.)

Not that guy but she's still sort of both. She enjoyed beating the shit out of people and also got excited when she was getting beat herself. I mean, she did a lot of sadistic taunting and stuff throughout the manga, can't just ignore that.

You still can't explain why ryona is bad at all

Bet you're one of those fags who think Ryona is Gore or torture shit

Because it is, a light version. With the defining thing being that punching a girl in the stomach for pleasure.
No thank you.

I lost interest in Teppu when there was that eon-long hiatus however many years ago.

Jesus I'm old.

I wish the brother would just man up and accept that his sister is a badass who wants to dote on him and protect him.

The guy's obviously got issues of his own, but still.

Natsuo did mostly nothing wrong

Not him, but ryona is deriving pleasure from the physical abuse and suffering of others, which violates the NAP I'm not into which is why I don't like ryona. Further, I can surmise that ryona on a sadist would be against the point as the suffering seems to be a big part of ryona and I have a dislike of suffering in my porn and should your like of ryona extend to 3DPD, may be illegal.

That said, don't show it to me and I won't give a shit. What goes on behind your closed doors isn't my problem

I didn´t got the good vision that you're talking about (I can be wrong, of course)
I understood that in the present days, she feels guilty about her past behavior. She keeps complaining about how her "talent" makes her good at things and how she feels bored. The fact that she keeps behaving like a jerk (quitting the volleyball team before the nationals, for example) drives people away from her. Her brother is another victim (she tormented him). what I got from the story was basically she having this mindset: "People don´t like me because I have talent and instead of putting good use to it, I simply act like a jerk. So, it's totally not because I behave like a selfish horrible person that no one likes me, it´s totally their fault because they're jealous of me". At least it was this that I got from the story.

Go away, Sanae.

What if the girl likes being punched

still fetish porn, just more fetishy.

Fair Enough;

Got it.

Fucking newfags.

I mentioned that, ctrl-f sadist, then replace it with masochist because I'm an idiot. That said, I'm pretty sure the suffering is the main draw of ryona, which is completelty inverted for a M

>thread nearly ded
Quickly, post best girl

...

worth noting, in these night hours you have just over an hour until a thread will die.

Post "absolutely sublime".

Is this the manga that has Camron Diaz in it?

who?

Best girl.

...

Natsuo/Sanae needed to be a thing and I'm not even a yurifag.

BEST GIRL

How the fuck did she torment her brother? From the looks of it she was just acting like any younger sibling and copying the older one.

I... always thought it was pointing more towards Natsuo/Yuzuko sort of. Even so, now that you've mentioned Natsuo/Sanae I really kind of want to see that.

I'm so mad this ended as it did. It could've gone on and been more.

Her dream was the best part of the whole series.
All we know is that her faggot brother was bullied and when she got involved he was butthurt at the emasculation, so she beat up all the bullies and spat the fact on his manelt face, and that broke his spirit and he never left his room.
She did nothing wrong. She just wanted her onii-chan to notice her.

I want to marry Yuzuko's eyebrows!

There was a time when it seemed like everybody on Sup Forums had read this.

While it was wrapping up. Seems there's a lot of new folk on the period since. How long ago was it, feels like it's only been a couple months

about a year.

sorry, strike that, over a year and a half.

>am the only one who even read this manga

Didnt se lose at the end though?

Yes. It was a good moment

She's a sado-masochist

Sup Forums was crazy about it, but in the end it failed to deliver pretty goddamn hard.

>Natsuo is the best MC of any sports manga
How about you eat a million dicks and read Ashita no Joe, you filthy waifushitter?

>should your like of ryona extend to 3DPD, may be illegal
Nah, just gotta find the right context.

>eon-long hiatus
>never even a full year hiatus
You can't be that old if you were so impatient when it was actively ongoing. I doubt you were old enough to be around when the following was first released:
