This needs a new anime adaptation by a studio with bones or madhouse level quality. It's criminal how unknown this manga is. Characters and story are so well written that you genuinely feel goosebumps when things gets bad or a character is just in panel. Expressing tension when you want to perfectly is surprisingly difficult yet the mangaka that wrote this has such a solid understanding of it and how the ins and outs of real martial arts work you gain a new respect for it. Of course there is some Baki level absurdity yet when you see the things some of the characters do it feelspossible. If you've read this manga you know what/who i am talking about.

bottom line is Tough holds a special place in my heart and if it was longer shows like Baki or Kengan Ashura wouldn't hold a candle to it.
