Where it came from
Hajime no Ippo Gaiden: Naniwa no Tora was authored by George Morikawa, the creator of the long-running boxing manga Hajime no Ippo. This volume serves as a side story focusing on the backstory of Takeshi Sendo, the aggressive and charismatic champion from Osaka. It was released to provide deeper insight into Sendo's motivations and his life outside of the main narrative arc, enriching the world-building of the wider franchise.
The design of this side story reflects Morikawa's signature gritty, high-energy art style, which emphasizes kinetic motion and intense emotional weight during boxing sequences. The narrative captures Sendo’s fierce determination and his journey from a street brawler to a professional athlete. Upon its release, it was well-received by fans of the series who were eager to see more of the fan-favorite 'Tiger of Naniwa' and his unique perspective on the sport.
