Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru Manga

Minoru Kohinata has just become a student at Reinan University, a learning institute known for training Olympic-caliber athletes and martial artists – not for its academics. Having been kicked off the gymnastics team, Minoru’s only link to his former sport is his long-time friend Nana. But after trying to protect her from harm and being saved by the ruthless karate expert Ryuuji Mutou, Minoru finds himself quickly involved in the 2nd Karate Club, eager to finally become stronger.

its a good manga and i really like it but the longer i read it the more annoyed i get. it annoyed me so much that i just had to write a review. this manga suffers from the "dragon ball Z" siickness of having a formula and NEVER changing it and becoming REALLY god damn predictible. i really like the art-style, the characters are great and if it wasn't so god damn predictible i would love the story. SPOILER:heres the formula: Minoru enters a tournament, he wins some hard matches and goes to the finale, ones there he loses. thats it... thats what has been happening for the last 400 issues. the problem is that the manga ended in 2012 and it went for 500 issues and the translator is almost at 400 and the main character Minoru is still a weakling that gets beat up by EVERYONE yet we are ment to believe that hes going to do a 180` and become atop fighter in 100 issues even though he has been failing for 400? in just worried about the ending and the way things are going it ain't looking good.

With it's realistic and complex characters, top tier art and fast-paced high-stake fights, KSKM is one of the definitive sports manga of recent years and is an absolute must for any fan of karate or great sport and action manga alike.
