Boxer’s Blast

A manga where a world boxing champion starts training his newspaper delivery boy when he shows potential for boxing.

This is kind of a straight-forward sports manga. The twist is that after the champion gets injured and comatose, he leaves his body to becomes a living ghost so he can continue to train the boy. It’s an interesting hook but then you have the common sports manga troupe of a beginner who’s actual possesses a superhuman skill(in this case hearing) that helps him become a superior athlete. 

This is a new series by the same creative team that did Medaka Box. I mostly liked that manga but didn’t like how it got way over-the-top towards the end. This manga seems like a simpler story but I fear they might have gone too simple and too generic.

I’ll keep reading it for now.
