Details
- Title Page Character(s): Kumi Mashiba
Summary
Kumi visits Ippo while he is fishing and asks if he wanted to go to the pool, as she knows that Ippo has free time since he just got done fighting Sisphar. However, Ippo can't due to his injuries. At the Kamogawa gym, while Itagaki, Aoki and Kimura are sparring, Kamogawa wonders where Takamura is. Kamogawa gets irritated when Kimura tells him that Takamura is out looking for a Sunday Punch. Takamura is at the Shimono Zoo to study various animals since he realised that he is the only one who does not have a signature move with an animal in the name. As Kumi sits with him while he fishes, Ippo apologises when he starts talking about boxing, but Kumi tells him that she doesn't mind since she likes spending time with him. When Ippo asks how Mashiba is doing since he is still suspended, Kumi mentions how tense he is because he wants a match. She adds that she believes that she is the one who is tense since he always makes her worry when he fights, and doubts that he considers how she feels as she waits for him at home. After Ippo claims that Mashiba cares about her, Kumi mentions that Mashiba probably only thinks about winning during a match, whether he lives or dies for it rather than thinking about how Kumi feels. She claims that she has gotten used to it, since she knows that boxers won't stop just because she says it's dangerous, and also knows that he will have to stop at some point. Kumi asks Ippo to make it back in one piece, just like she asks of her brother. That night, Takamura comes to the Kamogawa gym and announces to everyone that he will now show everyone the fist of the king.
