In Teppei we follow a boy named... well... Teppei. He is brought up in the mountains by his father who ran away from his familly and somehow ended up taking Teppei with him. Teppei has never gone to school and is pretty dumb, but he is tough as nails. One day he and his father is reunited with their family and Teppei has to learn to live in a normal society, which is tough for someone who was raised in the woods. Teppei does have a natural talent for sports though and ends up joining the kendo team in hopes that he can learn about rules and social norms through the art of kendo.
Now, Teppei can basically be described like this. Slapstick comedy turned up to 11. This is more or less a straight up comedy and loves to show Teppei get beat up, or beat someone else up. As for the entire kendo part of the show, that didn't even happen until halfway through the series, and by that point I was pretty fed up with this show. I'm not gonna lie, I had hopes going into this because it was by the same mangaka who made Ashita no Joe, but this is nowhere near as good as Joe. After watching 14 episodes of this show I could not take it anymore, so I dropped it.
