Ippo stands confidently in my top 10 next to the likes of Slam Dunk, and hearing that there’s another series planned makes me happier than I can really explain and still sound reasonable.
Awesome, can’t wait! I doubt it will get licensed over here, especially since Geneon is long gone, but something is better than nothing (even if I do have to download it illegally).
