In Volume 17, Ippo sets his sights on the top of Japan's featherweight division and faces a fresh wave of dangerous rivals. The pressure mounts with every bout, offset by the support of his Kamogawa Gym family. Chasing the shadow of eternal rival Ichiro Miyata, Ippo wrestles with the question of why he throws a punch at all. Meticulous fight choreography and raw emotion make this a heart-pounding read.
