Manga 143196 Red Blue

The only version of it I can find is in Japanese so I can not say much about the story however the art looks great and the action is pretty good it also reminds me of holyland and it looks like it breaks down the martial arts involved in the fight scenes which is very similar to what holyland did, so if it carries on down that root it could turn into a very good manga.

The characters also look interesting and the main character seems like a very different protagonist than the plain old boring ones which is very promising and already shows that it ... could have a bright future.

The story and characters are pretty messy, but the mma bits so far are interesting. The story itself seems a little contrived. The main character wants to beat up an MMA fighter classmate because.... he doesn't feel understood? or something along those lines. The characters themselves are okay, outside of the main character who just confuses me. If it keeps up the quality of the fights and techniques, I'll keep reading, but that's primarily because I'm a MMA fan and practitioner.

Art is good, but if you haven't read the great martial arts manga, (i.e. Holyland, Teppu, Meguru, Ippo, etc,) I would not recommend reading ... this. Hell, unless you've got a strong interest in realistic martial arts manga I don't see a reason to read this. Would I recommend this to someone who doesn't already enjoy MMA? Not really.
