StockID: 134792 SKU: OCT242260
A massive cultural phenomenon- made even bigger by the hit anime based on it. Ashita no Joe remains one of the most important manga of all time- and now it will finally see the light of day in English for the first time! A young drifter named Joe Yabuki wanders through the slums of Tokyo- but when the local ruffians try to give him a hard time he teaches them a rough lesson with his fists. The spectacle sparks a gleam in the eye of an old drunk who happens to be watching-Danpei Tange- a failed boxer and former coach who sees something special in the boy. He pleads with Joe to train with him off- but the cocky young fighter brushes him. Later- though- when Joe is arrested and put in a juvenile detention facility- he realizes that he's going to need to hone his raw fighting skills if he wants to survive. Thus is born a partnership that might just take Joe all the way to the top...
