There are so many manga easily available that as a reader it is hard to decide which one to read. Many are just good, some are very good and sometimes we start reading something that we don't want to finish. Rarely we come across a manga that transcends time and brings joy and tears to the reader. Such a manga can be called a Masterpiece. Ashita no Joe is one such manga.

This is the story of a boy who became a great boxer. If I write like this I won't be able to convey my feelings and anyways the summary has been provided. Many a times summaries can be deceiving and reviews too.

What I can tell you for sure is that there is lots of action and drama in this story. The story is gripping from the first page to the last and keeps the reader spellbound. The characters are real and relatable. You fall in love with them.

The art is beautiful. The expressions are conveyed clearly and the story really flows from page to page. That is to say the direction is extraordinary. Subtle marks on the page give meaning to it and this happens often in this manga. Some may say that the style is old, but all I care for is value. If its good I'll like it no mater what time it was drawn in.

As for enjoyment this manga is the pinnacle of enjoyment. I can not ask for more.

So, in a nutshell what I want to say is that:
1 This is a Masterpiece.
2 This is a must-read(especially if you like drama, sports and action.)

You can not go wrong by reading this manga. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
