[Tough] First of all, I think it’s good that Chikyuu-ō has the right length and is packed with everything about Teacher Saru.

Indeed, it’s “High School Iron Fist Legend Tough.” It’s the work that made Monkey-sensei famous and the origin of the Manemob. If you’re going to watch it for the first time, I recommend this. Kocho Shinobu and Rengoku Kyojuro are well collected in Volume 4, and it’s wallet-friendly. The art is also relatively new, and the sound pillar Uzui Tengen’s lock-up is quite good too.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx49

◆What is this collaboration…?

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rikio finds it hard to keep up with the conversation from a certain point onwards…

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx19

I think a lockup is good.

The meme is also famous.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ahab → When I read it, I wonder why someone who writes such cultured works is doing something like this monkey comic.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Excuse me at Ahab.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s best to read both and ignore the rest.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s good with Lockup Aihab Paratafu.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Demon Slayer

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Lockup is such a masterpiece that reading it at first is actually dangerous.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tekken comic is interesting, but 42 volumes might be long.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dog Soldier

I quite like OVAs as well.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ll just read the battered volume of Ninsei.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hehehe… Abare Bun’ya is a complete young adult comic full of erotic, grotesque, and socially-conscious themes!

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Paratafu and OTON

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s better to be a journalist.

Because it’s the masterpiece.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

“Riki-Oh has been adapted into both anime and live-action, and is undoubtedly a flagship work.”

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

High School Iron Fist Legend Tough should be read.

It’s vulgar, but

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Lock Up contains strong quirks of monkey works and convoluted goodness, making it just right for beginners.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Aihab better right now?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

I honestly understand the opinions that say they struggle with the vibe of Tekken’s story or the dirty jokes, but there are many best bouts, so I really want people to read it seriously.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Tekken story is a masterpiece, but when I continued reading Tough, it felt like it became noticeably less interesting from the middle.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

High School Iron Fist Legend has a tough beginning with its raunchy parts.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I just want to go viral with tough topics, so I’ll take my leave.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

D… Poison Wolf

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think that if it’s a venomous wolf, it’s not as great a work as Lock Up, but it’s just the right amount of flair.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rikiou often has people’s skin peeled off (physically), so it’s hard to recommend.

No electrons are coming out either (nuh).

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m reading Ryu Tsu and it’s really interesting.

It started to get weird from the point when Kibakatsu appeared.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like the early works of Jinki.

I really liked you.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Tekken series has an irresistible refreshing feeling after finishing it.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Runin and GOKUSAI are interesting, but it’s difficult to recommend them to others.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like the story of “Riki-Oh” owes a lot to the original work, don’t you think?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

The argument that Lockup is a masterpiece is a bit questionable because volumes 2 to 3 have some monkey-like developments.

Reading it from start to finish feels like a solid masterpiece… so I think it’s definitely for beginners.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hehehe… Monkey Sensei’s tales of human emotions are the best!

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recommend Ahab… like Kiryu.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

When Ahab appeared with a mech foot and I was laughing at the overwhelming monkey elements, I was completely overwhelmed by the intense energy right from the beginning of the next story.

Isn’t it amazing?

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Personally, I like the design of Todar.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

What about Oniwakamaru, who doesn’t get mentioned at all?

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s depicted like a draw, but bringing out the mecha foot and ultimately losing stays true to the original work.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think the Oton side story is good in terms of its coherence.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you want to know the source of the formula, you need to read up to Ryuu Tsugi.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The perspective completely changes 180 degrees when this monologue comes from the captain, who I thought was only obsessed with revenge.

The perspective completely changes 180 degrees when this monologue comes from the captain, who I thought was only obsessed with revenge.

“Those who do not fight and are weak are nothing more than prey, ruthlessly devoured. The families and relatives of those whose livelihood is whaling, all humans will be affected, and the dark town without light will decay.”

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

The wild bookshop is interesting, but the ending is…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what Tomioka-san would recommend in this flow.

Mr. Whitey, perhaps?

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Learning about monkey work in Paratuff Ahab Lockup.

In a way, it’s the strongest.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Lock-Up is said to be a masterpiece, and I like it too, but…

To be honest, I feel that one can easily understand that after getting used to reading Monkey-sensei’s manga; otherwise, I wonder if things like Akio Wada or crude gags and speaking style would be distracting and make it hard to concentrate on the story.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The image in the thread is too grainy…

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Using clichés is quite boring.

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I believe that if the scarred Ninsei were to be released for free somewhere, it has the potential to spread rapidly.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

I started reading High School Tekken Chronicles, but what happened to Kiryuu before he became Ryuu?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

A monkey thief that only nibbles on the delicious parts.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a mystery to mock celebrities and famous people.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Please don’t get angry, okay?

If you’re interested in Monkey-sensei’s manga now, aren’t you just someone who wants to know the Tough quotes rather than the content of the manga?

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honestly, the issue with Ryuu-Tsugu goes beyond how the characters are handled.

I want you to finish the current story before moving on to the next chapter.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hehe… TDK is a complete meal!

Wh-What is this Hyper Battle main event?

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m really scared that I can’t get any information about the author of “Chikaraou,” Mr. Taka.

Real monkey space dispatch is

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

I… couldn’t forgive.

Rare

I can’t believe that Kiba, who has only been the subject of jokes in the live shows, is such a great character…!!!

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I read all of it standing up.

I’m glad I could have fun without spending any money.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Lock-up

Paratafu

Ehabs

It is considered sufficient to be tough up to TOUGH as a runner-up.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I see “Tough,” it reflects the author’s tendencies or style.

I understand that you ruthlessly discard finished characters.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is this?

The side streams of Nada are increasing rapidly.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

In a thread for a different work, was the latest Aha Block Up compared to the previous works as “Continuing the Dragon” just to be criticized?

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

I read Tekken’s story, and since I have characters I really like, I was able to enjoy it quite a bit.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’ve read Tekken, then you should read OTON too!

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

The evolution of the author's perspective as a martial arts fan, glimpsed in the comments on the back cover of the paperback, is also interesting as a subtext.

Tetsuya Saruwatari Tetsuya Saruwatari Tetsuya Saruwatari Now, in the martial arts world, Mr. Hoasapu, pro wrestlers are originally from ancient Japanese martial arts. When I first saw PRIDE, I thought seriously about winning, but I thought of it as a mode of fighting influenced by the Gracie family and traditional Japanese martial arts. In this sense, traditional pro wrestling is about real strength. It’s true that real Japanese martial arts are behind the scenes. I have watched the techniques of great masters. Fight. In that huge network of resistance, the technical aspects of it are still unmatched! Please defeat the Gracie family at Pancrase. You possess overwhelming potential for the future and should become the strongest fighter. I shed tears as I recall, right there, without a doubt, it’s undeniable!

The evolution of the author’s perspective as a martial arts fan, glimpsed in the comments on the back cover of the paperback, is also interesting as a subtext.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I was the one surprised that the old man got away with it, as if he was on some weird drug.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Ahab is based on the original source, Moby Dick.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s after quite some progress that I start to lose understanding of the story of Ryuuju, so by the time I get to that part, I’m already hooked and can’t help but keep reading.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Learning the beauty of short stories with human interest in a lockup.

Knowing that if it becomes long with wounds, it will be lost.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Considering that Debidebi, OTON, and Paratuff are hits, it seems that short spin-offs are their specialty.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing how, despite the original creator Mr. Taka being involved, the concentration of monkeys is so high in Rikiou.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s unclear why Kiryuu suddenly weakened after becoming tough.

I don’t know if it’s shyness or being contrarian, but it’s disappointing that it only ends up with oddly twisted developments.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Harukusa is really strong.

I don’t really understand the uncle who acts tough in front of a stronger Kakugo.

91: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The subtlety is so strong that only Key-kun and Taka-niisama can keep up with it.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how good Paratafu is as an introduction.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wanted to see the showdown between Master Ryuusei Oton and the evil Kiibo too!

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t like that Kibo, who will inherit the dragon, isn’t that strong.

If you have mastered the art of Yugen, you should be much stronger.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

The cursed technique of Tough should be mentioned more, you know.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

The uncle also had moments in Tekken: The Last where he was shown mercy by a father who honestly didn’t intend to kill him.

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Characters who often lose their turn are mocked as being in “○space.”

The true monkey space doesn’t just lose its role when the chapter changes; it disappears completely right in the middle of the story.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Um… the GOKUSAI highly recommended by Teacher Saru is…

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the cheesiness of the technique name intentional?

Obscured Fist or something like that.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

The theory that those who easily praise Lock Up and Aihab as masterpieces have hardly read Tough or Bun’ya.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the bullet slide + phantom thrust is quite a terrible combo.

107: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Personally, I like that Key-bo from Tough was coaching Blue.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Yuki-chan will appear again.

They were a regular character for quite a long time.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

The newspaper writer has a bit of a gory side to their violence…

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

Another case of parental abuse…

More yakuza…

Another sadistic guard…

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the famous homo Choshu the one causing a ruckus on that particular page?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

The end of the writer’s story is probably the worst, ahhhhh!

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think GOKUSAI would have been better suited for serialization in Grand Jump or Afternoon.

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Since both Tough and Bunya are long, as content recommended for beginners…

It’s pretty normal for that to happen.

I think it’s okay for a writer, who often writes short stories, to look somewhat rough around the edges.

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The page on the white whale from the anime otaku wiki subtly explains that the original work is an aberrant novel while incorporating tough tropes, and then introduces Ahab at the end as a related work, stating that it actually has one of the top-level recreations of the original in history—it’s truly an intellectual’s job.

https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/57782.html

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t watch the Aniota wiki because the vibe is cold and it smells like a pot.

125: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s an unreserved opinion about Phantom Joe and related people.

The Death Row arc of Baki and the intense boxing of Retsu are amazing with their unpredictable plot twists that keep it interesting even when boredom strikes.

I’m not praising you, but…

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ryuuki finally entered the master-disciple showdown, which was great, and the name of the technique is good too.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve seen people sometimes say that it went from something elegant to crap, but to be honest, the Hyper Battle main event is worse than something elegant.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ahab is really amazed by the teacher’s ability to structure things.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Jet vs Kibo has so many unnecessary interruptions that it’s unbelievable, I can’t concentrate at all! Ah!

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

For now, as long as I can eat The Hard and not die, I can probably eat just about anything.

134: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The trendy manga format mostly originated from the manga boards in the “tsubo” (niche) community.

It may be regrettable, but there’s nothing that can be done.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it was canceled, I’m really disappointed that the next chapter is starting without fighting Battle King.

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I think the scene with Jet’s grave was the moment when my uncle was most enthusiastic about the Tough series.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Yugen chapter isn’t so bad, you know.

It’s just that the enemy characters have no charm.

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Mr. Monkey has a complex love-hate relationship with God.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

First, gently draw in the reader with beautifully illustrated short stories, then hit them with “Don’t underestimate me, hey!”

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Kiryuu used to be in a position like Yuujirou in the battle against the Yugen Four Heavenly Kings.

It turned into a biting weakling and seriously messed up the jar, isn’t that amazing?

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

It can be considered that it was done on purpose.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

Lock-up is a great work, but to go that hard with the serious pro wrestling appeal…

It feels a bit frustrating, as if I’m making excuses for getting beaten up by Gracie…

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

With regard to Rikiou, there are many developments that one cannot grasp without having read the Bible quite thoroughly, so it’s understandable if you don’t get it.

It would not be a problem to read it as a modern Bible.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it amazing that even after experiencing Tough’s later half and Ryuu Tugu, the ancestor Manemobu continued to pursue Saru-sensei?

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

GOKUSAI was interesting until the mother arc.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

The character of Yugen is interesting because it has a personality like that of a protagonist from an otherworldly story in modern works.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aside from the ending, which becomes somewhat unclear, I recommend Ninsei.

153: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The tough thread itself originally probably originated from a jar.

What are you talking about now?!

155: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Whether good or bad, Monkey Sensei does not deify the characters, so the idea that he is on par with Yujiro is just something fans expected on their own.

156: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I didn’t find “Abare Bun’ya” very interesting because there were many episodes that felt hastily thrown together with a lot of unpleasantness, aside from the last one.

157: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

To be frank, even the Money Mob turns a blind eye to the part where Monkey-sensei tries to act socially aware.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

Injured Niken ends his battle with the villain in an indescribable way, and from the revelation that her husband’s death was just an accident, it becomes unclear. The ending feels abrupt, but as a human drama, the early to mid parts are interesting.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s surprising how quickly the level of security in the work drops when you go from Tekken to TOUGH.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s often criticized when strong characters are weakened, but I honestly think it’s better than having someone like Yujiro being deified and having all the principles of this world twisted around that.
