Is this basically Japanese Rocky?

>>24538009
lord no - it's actually the anti-rocky
it's not about a guy boxing for people (i.e., rocky fighting for adrian or apollo) - it's about a guy boxing because he gradually discovers it to be his passion, and he can't bring himself to do anything else.
he effectively ruins every relationship in his life in some way or another because of boxing and in pursuit of dedicating his life to it.
it's a very oriental story; themes of glory and passion through the whole thing.
it's the only manga worth your time.

>>24537966 (OP)
No, because the images substitute words instead of complementing them. A children's book, like the little prince, could be read to similar effect without the art, whereas a manga relies upon the art for storytelling purposes. I also believe that visuals trade accessibility for precision, such that an equivalent story in text would be far more interesting. In SBR, for example, the effect of disability on Johnny Joestar's psyche could be explored further.

>it's the only manga worth your time.
Grim if true, but I'll check it out.

>>24537966 (OP)
yes. sayonara zetsubou sensei and dowman sayman's works are more/lit/ than some/lit/ classics even
also panpanya, blame, bokurano, kodomo no jikan, the world is mine, yokohama etc

>>24537966 (OP)
It has its own separate board so 4chang think it's not

>>24537966 (OP)
Yeah sure. Doesn't mean most of them are any good.

>>24537966 (OP)
This question again? Comics are their own medium.

>>24538009
>it's about boxing so it must be like Rocky!
Hajime no Ippo is more like Rocky

>>24537966 (OP)
Yes but not that reddit shit
Actually good manga are ones like Blame, Ponko, Non Non Biyori, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Aria, Azumanga Daioh etc

Also only an actual philistine wouldn't be able to enjoy many different art forms
You aren't a philistine are you anon? You don't want to end up like this retarded faggot >>24538043

>>24538321
>not that reddit shit
>Blame
shit bait.

>>24538375
Despite its reputation being ruined by Pewpdiepie, it's still good and far better than Reddits Bizarre Adventure

>>24537966 (OP)
No, some manga is good.

>>24538377
you havent read jojos right? i like blame and many of the manga you named but jojos is definitely not worse that fucking aria or azumanga. like most other manga jojos main problem is its fanbase, but looking past that its pretty good. sure every part has its problems but so do the manga you listed. i dont even know how you can compare them since theyre all completely different genres from jojo.
