This is my first Matsumoto manga and i couldn't have asked for a better one. This manga is one of the only mangas that could be compared to Ashita no Joe in terms of the passion for Boxe, how it can convey certains emotions... The protagonist Goshima is a flower that has blossomed on the ring and is waiting for another flower to bloom before dying in the ring. He has never been able to make another flower bloom before because they were all too fragile, until he found one worthy of being called a friend. The art style in this manga really was abreath of fresh air, Matsumoto's style is precise but at the same time incredibly rough but most importantly its style is dynamic, he can do whatever he wants with his character bodies like, for example, he distorts them to make them look grotesque, the same goes for the background. (No wonder why Yuasa style matches perfecty Matusmoto's style in Ping Pong the Animation). This manga is only 2 volumes and overall it gives you an exciting experience, especially in the second volume.
