Nov 1, 12:00 manga

Expect punches that carve up the body like knife-edged cannonballs. ― After Baki's initial appearance and victory in his first “official” match, this story settles into an ever more hyperbolic tale of unregulated fighting. In each subsequent volume, Baki will be matched with an opponent whose skills are unreasonable, whose strength is demonic,...

While not without its issues, The Obsessed is a film well worth watching. It's full of fun, silly, moments and yet manages to delve into true human tragedy as well. ― Giuseppe is a man existing in his own little world where his current obsession overrides everything else.
