Side notes: I've been watching this manga a long time but not started to read it. It's mainly 'cause I don't like sumo or wrestling that much but well, here I am and thinking to start reading it anyways. That's mainly 'cause I's looking for something new or relatively new manga to read and I couldn't find something fitting to my criteria. Then I checked again sports mangas and thought why not... If I'm going to push the All out! today so let's see this one too.^-^b

The story is quite normal plot for a shounen sports manga but as said by one reviewer it's nicely paced and things happen so that the plot stays interesting and doesn't drop out flat. Art is also good so I can't complain about that and even though I don't know anything about Sumo as a sport I'm enjoying reading this story.^-^


P.S. And I do wonder doesn't the main chara remind anyone of  Ushio to Tora Aotsuki Ushio way or another?
