Synopsis

Hiroki Endo's series tells the story of two old friends, Meguru Takayanagi and Takashi Yamabuki, who after a long time meet each other again at an amateur shooto mixed martial arts contest. While Meguru only practices MMA for fun, Takashi is pursuing a serious goal. Even though each of them has their own reason to fight, both are becoming stronger with each match...

Universally praised for its realism and accurate depiction of martial arts, All Rounder Meguru is one of the first manga to provide a glimpse into the energetic and exciting world of modern MMA.

Revisiting All-Rounder Meguru (ARM) reaffirmed its strengths while making some flaws more noticeable. The story follows Meguru, a well-rounded but unremarkable fighter, and his ambitious childhood friend, Takeshi. Their contrasting approaches to MMA create an engaging dynamic that remains one of the series’ best aspects.

ARM’s grounded, technical fights still hold up, especially in grappling exchanges, making each battle feel fluid and satisfying. The supporting cast is also a standout, with characters that feel like they exist beyond Meguru’s journey. However, pacing issues—especially mid-fight backstory dumps—felt even more jarring on a reread.

Meguru’s lack of ambition, while intentional, makes him a dull protagonist compared to the fiery ...

I am not a person that has ever taken part myself in MMA, but I have watched plenty of it in the UFC and Bellator in the past for my 'experience' with it. And I have to say, All Rounder Meguru was a really good series that I feel deserves more attention and love.

Hiroki Endo, the mangaka who was also responsible for Eden: It's an Endless World, was someone that clearly put his heart and soul into exploring the various MMA styles present. The story is really simplistic and nothing too revolutionary, and the art and storyline doesn't really exude 'hype' that much, but the ...

From start to finish it's a masterpiece. If you've done any amount of Muay Thai, BJJ, Boxing, or Wrestling this is the manga for you.

The art is also super realistic and fluid, really helps you imagine the tweens between each frame drawn.

The characters are likable and full. No random melodrama or dark backstories. Real people in the real world.

I personally enjoyed the entire series from beginning to end, even the extra 5 chapters.

The stories are fun and realistic. It ends well too. Most importantly it stays realistic in its depiction of MMA as well as its characters.
