JUDOS

A manga about a young man who enters the judo battle royale of country town of Yahara, known as JUDOS.

Manga artist Shinsuke Kondo’s 2nd serialization attempt in Weekly Shonen Jump. Much like his debut work Retsu!!! Date-Senpai, it was canceled fairly quickly.

I hate to say it but I just think Kondo just didn’t have the ability to have a successful manga. His artwork isn’t good and his writing doesn’t stand out either. My best guess is that his editor really believed in him and pushed to get him serialized. It’s just unfortunate that he wasn’t able to create something that found success.
