One-Pound Gospel, Volume 2

• From Rumiko Takahashi, the creator of RANMA 1/2 , MAISON IKKOKU, and URUSEI YATSURA, whose works have sold over 100 million copies worldwide.
• VIZ Media started publishing the first three volumes of this series in 1996, but Rumiko Takahashi put the series on hiatus. Now, Takahashi has completed the series by doing a fourth and final volume. Fans finally have a chance to read the ending!
• A romantic sports comedy from one of our most popular manga creators Rumiko Takahashi.
• Heartwarming comedy plus slapstick silliness equals Takahashi at her best and most accessible.
• Volume 4 makes this Takahashi's most recent non-INUYASHA title.  This title should grab the interest of all Inuyasha fans as well.
• Takahashi appeals to both shojo and shonen fans alike. ONE-POUND GOSPEL has great crossover appeal in that respect.

A boxer without a prayer meets a naïve nun who might be his only chance for salvation… and victory in the ring.

 

Four years ago, Kosaku pulled off an astounding upset in his pro test by KO'ing a big-time boxer. More than simply sending his opponent down for the count, Kosaku also managed to mangle this pretty-boy fighter's teeth in the process. Now this toothless tyrant is ready for a rematch, but can Kosaku drop down an entire weight class to qualify for the bout? It is said that the weight of a fighter's punch comes down to how hard he grips his fist, but will Kosaku ever get a grip on his pre-fight snacking?
