An anime adaptation of Yuu Muraoka's Mou Ippon! ("Ippon" again!) manga was announced on the 32nd issue of Weekly Shounen Champion magazine on Thursday.

Synopsis

Muraoka began serializing the martial arts manga in Weekly Shounen Champion in October 2018. Akita Shoten also began posting the chapters on its Manga Cross web magazine in April 2019.

The first compiled volume was published under the Shounen Champion Comics imprint in Japan in February 2019. Akita Shoten shipped the 13th volume on Thursday, which also features the anime announcement on its wraparound band. Mou Ippon! was nominated for the fifth Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Awards in 2019.

I agree. I appreciate both of these mangas for being a pretty good mostly all-female MA who doesn't try to be hyped through fanservice.


True, its not just some cheap fanservice, you can see the effort in a lot of pages, also, I love this type of comedy

Well, if her senpai were a boy or both of them were boys, it would sound like your typical shonen, but yes, we're talking about the same manga. I started reading Ippon precisely because people in the comments suggested it was similar to this manga.


Nice! Style is pretty good, gotta catch up with the last chapters, I think there's only 2 or 3 chaps on the web Im reading it

A judo anime huh, I can't think of alot of those off the top of my head aside from Yawara by Naoki Urasawa.

cute girls doing judo, I'm in. It can't be worse than Yawara


Comparisons to Yawara are logical, but personally I would compare it to the judo version of the Bamboo Blade.

Surprisingly good news, the manga only received its first fan translation six months ago.

Jul 7, 2021 9:30 PM by RobertBobert

Looking good tho. Will watch.
