Sheeeeeeesh, Actually really well done so far, loving it. Just want more chapters i cant lie, great artwork, raw masculine rugby just the way i like it. Standard story but done well, characters are sick would 1000% recommend it to those that enjoy sports manga in general.
One of the manga's strengths is its balance between on-field action and off-field character development. You'll find yourself rooting for the team not just because of their prowess in the game but also because you genuinely care about the characters and their personal journeys.

The pacing is spot-on, keeping the momentum going without sacrificing important character moments. Whether you're ... a die-hard rugby fan or a newcomer to the sport, it manages to blend excitement with a touch of humor, making it an engaging read for everyone.

This is my first rugby manga and actually my first rugby related read or watch ever!
Rugby honestly seems like such a boring sport because its all about tackles (Atleast to me) but one day I suddently decided to read this manga and I'm gonna be totally honest, It has a nice premise and a nice and extremely likeable Main character.
The main character Kinzan Yamada has that glow that reminds me of Hinata from Haikyuu and this series actually has its own take on the Generation of miracles (If you've seen Kuroko no basuke, you will get this. Btw side note definitely go watch that its ... a really amazing basketball anime/manga).

This manga has all the things it needs to succeed, and although the plot and tropes are similar as in other sports manga, I definitely think it has the potential to become the next great Sports manga or atleast a good one. The action is conveyed clearly with the beautiful artwork. Movement is so cleanly defined aswell. I'm honestly surprised why this doesn't have more readers.
I just hope more people read this manga and it actually becomes popular so that it doesnt get axed,
Thanks for reading and definitely check this manga out!

Too long have I been waiting for a good rugby series. Even longer I’ll have to wait.
My issues so far do not necessarily come from a predictable zero to hero origin story. Nor is the aged humour a concerning aspect. Even with my general knowledge of the game, I wasn’t even put off by the idiots guide explanation to the sport. No, what troubles me most about it is what I often let slide in many other series. The art.
It lacks a refinement and minimises the massive impacts that occur in a match. It forgoes showcasing sequences of movement with too much standard ... panelling that doesn’t illustrate the full extent of what happens on a field. I’m not expecting Inoue level of art quality but I want something cool and powerful much like what is delivered in Blue Lock. Rugby is both tough and rugged and open and free and the action is not reflected so far in the art of the series.
While I said I was primarily unbothered by the series explanation of the game, I feel it does a poor job introducing newcomers to the sport. It follows an idiot protagonist, which isn’t in itself bad but is uninspired, and does little to nothing in its early parts to allow an investment in his journey. I understand his character is mostly a gag but the fact he is already so much stronger than characters that we’ve been told to be the best in the world really lowers the stakes of the series.
There are aspects of this series that offer potential but are undeveloped. The laissez-faire management of the team and the unmotivated players provide a platform for the team to really come together and tackle the challenges presented. But so far we know nothing about anyone outside of a couple and even the two characters we know something about, we know not enough to empathise with their involvement in the team and the sport.
I want to give the author some time to iron things out and present an exciting plot and story arc for its characters but so far the pacing is very haphazard and the story beats better applied in other stories. For now rugby rumble is not worth your time if you’re looking for the next Haikyuu or Ace of Diamond. It lacks the heart that those series have and the stylisation that brings the sport to life.
