What it is about
Ring ni Kakero debuted in Weekly Shōnen Jump issue 414 on December 14, 1976. Created by Masami Kurumada (later known for Saint Seiya), this boxing manga follows siblings Ryūji and Kiku as they pursue glory in the ring. It was an early hit for Kurumada and helped establish the over-the-top fighting style that would define his later works. Its debut issue also carried Kochikame, Toilet Hakase and Circuit no Ōkami.
