I am very sad but it ended well. But something has really been bugging me though how did akisame know that saiga was good and did the elder know also. If saiga was good from the beginning why didn't he stop Senzui early? And also why wasn't saiga in this last chapter? But besides saiga being unexplained kenichi was a great manga and my favorite and will be deeply missed but will always be in our hearts. We can only hope for a possible sequel someday

So what becomes of this site now? 

 

I mean...we're all fans so...

 

LETS RE-READ THE ENTIRE THING!!

 

XD

[onigiri_boy]

sad indeed. Let us all be inspired by this masterpiece and work / train harder than ever before. After all, to be a good person in this world is quite hard because we have to hold back a lot. Katsujinken, and all that, hahaha.

 

don't ever push yourself to the point of injury though. That's the only thing in HSDK that I don't quite like. They should have shown the training, and dealing with its effects and fallouts, more, so that the end is that much sweeter (we do have a lot of that up to the Apachai fight). But well, I am glad that the story is already as good as it is. Need to go read again next week!

 

I'm picking up Toriko and Assassination Classroom now, so hopefully the weekly void in my heart will be slightly smaller

Assassination classroom......great art...great korosensei......stupid development .-.

He was in the last page on the top left picture! It was a picture of him with Hayato and Hayato had his hands around him and both smiling in the picture!

I'm going to post mine, and asking you the same: what are to you, the best moments in Kenichi

 

A couple of my favorites:

1. Kenichi vs. Ryoto fight (imitating his masters) - the entire manga so far has been building up to this. Kenichi found a way

2. Logical Argument: http://www.mangaread...chapter-33.html (top panel

3. The D of D tournament, with the entire Alliance performing and Kenichi often acting as cheerleader

4. The moment where Siegfried bribes Kisara with the cats

 

What I absolutely loved about this manga, is that the author tried to flesh out the characters. Aside from Martial arts, each person has their own -often unique- personality traits and hobbies.

 

I'm going to miss this manga, but I had the opportunity to follow it entirely.

[Rivai]

I am hoping to see more Saiga and the ending feels rush, should have more pages.

 

Kenichi became young master in this last chapter is super cool !

 

But overall, this is a bloody good manga. Gonna missed it !

[citizen_lion]

1) Kenichi's immitating his masters (and the song "Training Spirit", which has been something of a rally song for when I'm down for years)

 

2) Sasaki's quote: "When you are fearful, train! When you are in doubt, train! The only thing that will never betray you is your training."

 

3) Ma Kensei's quote: "Why can't the world be more ero and peaceful."

 

4) Akisame's announcing the "disciple full-body remodelling plan."

 

5) Ogata's quote: "if you want to control your destiny, first learn to control your body, from the top of your head to the tip of your toes."

....well there are tons more XD generally i love every chapter

[Naoe]

For those looking for something similar to Kenichi to fill in the gap of your heart. I recommend 'The Breaker'. The main character is similar to Kenichi in having 3-4 girls liking him as the story progress, they both got bullied, they both get drag into the martial art world (murim is what they call it in The Breaker), the Dou and Sei in "Kenichi" is similar to the External Ki and Internal Ki in "Breaker" (Although it seems internal ki is more effective and stronger) and 'The Breaker' is seinen. So it's a bit more serious than 'HSDK' and is a bit closer to reality following the choice.

 

The Breaker PLOT: The new English teacher, Chun-Woo, is not your ordinary teacher. Shioon, a victim of constant bullying, unexpectedly witnesses Chun-Woo's fighting power, and begs him to make him his disciple. Chun-Woo claims he can teach Shioon only if he is truly determined, and Shioon must jump off a bridge into a deep river in order to prove it!

It turns out, however, that Chun-Woo and his powers are more than meets the eye. Shioon makes a grand entrance into the hidden world of martial arts, and he is about to be taught by the best there is!

 

Hopefully this can fill the void in your heart as this year quite a lot of manga is ending. (although this is a manhwa)

[masterpiece]

does it have fan service?

[Naoe]

Super rare... Maybe every 5-10+ chapters there is 1 or 2?

[InjuredPelican]

Favorite moment was when Hermit completely destroyed Berserker while telling him that martial arts was about striving for something, not just dumb talent. Which is the reason I got so mad when Berserker came back and had hardly changed at all. Felt that kind of hurt such an awesome moment, but oh well, its still awesome.

 

Second favorite moment was Renka and Ma fighting Rachel and Diego. It was cool to see master and pupil side by side, and I find Rachel and Diego to be hilariously entertaining. "That's Diego quality!" Plus, fanservice...

i really really hope there is another series of kenichi becoming a master. even tho i know everyones dream have been achived i still wanna see everyone again

[Matsu]

Top 5 moments from Kenichi is a tough nut to chew. I see that plenty of people have already cheated so I guess I can as well.. but I leave them feels to little later.

 

Has HSDKfans ever actually interviewed Matsuena directly? He must be a secret member or something... Well, now is about the time for it, would you not agree?!?

I would suggest we come up with top 20 questions (in a different discussion chain, doodle or similar) and approach his publicist or something. Maybe there are interviews already available somewhere, I have not checked.
