girl learns to punch harder!
this was pure fun to read :D
i like the premise. girl gets dumped, girl gets angry, goes to the arcade and punches a boxing machine. second girl comes up and shows her how to punch better! second girl is featherweight world champion, and invites girl to her match tonight. girl decides to become a boxer.
i love how the young women in this manga are drawn to be strong. they have muscles, and a strong stance. sometimes it's a bit of a caricature, but it's quite restrained really.
i really love the glee in Yuri's face (our protagonist) as she learns to punch harder.
beyond that, there's no deep conflict or story or anything, and with only one more volume published so far, i don't expect there to be much more to come. i guess i'm a girl of simple tastes :D
as far as difficulty/learning goes: full furigana, short sentences, straightforward grammar. a lot of casual language, some crude language, which was new to me. some boxing-specific vocabulary, lots of anglicisms. fun with kanji writing out japanese text, but furigana showing english text (transcribed into hiragana). one character with even more anglicisms.
which adds up to a reasonably easy text, but with lots of linguistic quirks. which i also found a lot of fun.
