Mad Dog Ken

Menata loved boxing and was confident in his technical skills, but he had given up on becoming a boxer because of his slender build. Then, during a school trip, Menata was captivated by the punching power of Kenshi Oriba, whom he met there. When Oriba transferred to Menata’s high school, Menata began urging him to take up boxing at every opportunity. Oriba, who was already more than capable in a fight even without boxing, initially looked down on the sport. However, he was so impressed by the power of the punches he learned from Menata that he decided to take up boxing. (Source: Akita Shoten, translated)
