Martial Master Asumi

Kawada the author of Hinomaru Sumo is back, this time with Martial Master Asumi a series about MMA. Unfortunatly the series did not catch on in Japan, which let to the series being axed and a sudden end to the series. But even with this sudden end the author managed to write a masterfully crafted story. Martial Master Asumi looks absolutly gorgeous. The art is clean, vivid and makes the characters pop out of the pages. The characters are well written and diverse in personality. The author managed to make all the characters, even if they only appear for one fight have good motivations anda good backstory. The story starts of pretty slow, but quickly takes a turn when the MC starts to play matches. Afterwards the series manages to stay interesting and it sucks you in. The ending was good and not rushed, but it was quite sudden and leaves you disapointed that there is not more. In conclusion Martial Master Asumi is a good story with amazing art and wonderfully written characters. The series is well worth your time and I can do nothing but recommend it.
