Friendly Spar (Patreon)

Old doodle I decided to completely rehaul, making me very nostalgic for earlier Hajime no Ippo chapters and fights.

It’s really bittersweet I had to refrain from breaking down ahahaaa

This is when Date-san was preparing for his world champion fight against Ricardo and had Miyata as his sparring partner. Of course this sparked something in me as I like any fight interaction. But seeing Miyata a tiny bit star struck (albeit frustrated) when being held by Date was kind of cute.
