We here at Comicbook.com definitely have a soft spot for Hajime no Ippo, the boxing anime series that has been a part of the anime universe since debuting as a manga in 1989. Spawning a number of television series and movies over its history, with the last being Hajime no Ippo: Rising back in 2013, the series has continued from creator George Morikawa for decades to this day. Recently, the mangaka did reveal that he has an ending in mind for the series, which would bring Ippo’s long boxing journey to a close.
17歳でデビューしたので1月の誕生日をもって漫画家40年になりました。そのうちの34年ははじめの一歩です。わりと長いと思いますが誇れるものはほとんどありません。自分で連載を終わらせたことがないからです。一歩の最終回は決めてあるので読者の皆さんと一緒に迎えられたらいいなあと思います。
