From reddit:
Round 1211: Pro
The star above the ring, where have you gone?
Did you see the Featherweight title match?/Imai Kyosuke, right? Another 1-round KO, just shows how strong he is./His offense is at a real high level./He just plows through opponents like he’s a bulldozer or something.
The former Champion had 8 defenses/but it looks like Imai will reign a long time, too.
Former Champion…/Makunouchi Ippo, huh.
I didn’t think his name would come up at the post-fight interview./He said he wanted to fight Makunouchi.
Itagaki Manabu is similar. / Seems he admired Makunouchi since his amateur days.
The difference is that Imai chose a different gym. / Clearly their quality of “admiration” is different.
Someone who tried to find strength by being near him / and someone who tried to find strength by becoming his enemy. / That so…
Aside from who made the right choice / it’s impossible to deny that the gap between them has grown.
What was the stadium’s reaction?/When Imai said his name?
Everyone was taken aback / there was just silence.
The memories of Makunouchi’s fights are still fresh.
He embodied the ideal that with hard work and effort, you could achieve your dreams. / You could say he was the most beloved man in Korakuen Hall in years.
With a sudden sense of loss like that, no wonder they had no words.
Still, it’s an interesting idea / Imai vs. Makunouchi. / If it were to happen, who do you think would win?
Huh…/ Hmm…
Cut it out. / Makunouchi is already gone.
Imai knows it, too. That’s why he said “The one I wanted to fight.” / His words were near dripping with regret and frustration that he didn’t make it in time.
Since he was the slugfest king, surely. / Everyone must think the same.
So let’s just leave him alone. / I want him to slowly let his body heal…
Even so… / I can’t help but think this way.
Could he really do it?
He also loved boxing again.
Is he really someone who can enjoy a life without boxing? / Without forgetting, without throwing it away, is he still keeping sharp? / What is he doing at this moment!?
I DID IT!
Sensei! Check it please! / Don’t call me sensei!
You already finished? / 15 pages? / That’s the same level as a pro assistant.
I sharpened my skills!
The Hero of Korakuen Hall / is helping draw manga in a place like this. / Even in their wildest dreams your fans wouldn’t picture it. / Enough of that, check it, check it!
D-did I mess something up?
Did you do these with your weights on?
J-just as a habit… / Does it look bad? Should I take them off?
It’s bizarre!
S-sorry!
No, the drawing is perfect. / It’s because it’s perfect that it’s bizarre.
Huh?
There’s nothing outside the lines and no whiteout. / To be able to do this good of a job in this short of a time while wearing weights…
I just said it was the level of a pro assistant / but this is even higher. / This is chief level!
Yeah!
This time teach me how to do backgrounds! / I want to be even more helpful!
No way!
No way? What?
After doing all this / aren’t your hands trembling?
Nope! / I wonder if I can become a pro assistant!
Forget about a pro assistant! / Couldn’t you be a pro boxer!?
Sorry Ippo! / It’s none of my business! / Even though I was trying to help, sorry.
I should be the one apologizing. / Even though you always cheered for me, I didn’t deserve it. / But…
I already decided. / Waaaaaaaa! Stop! Stop! I’m sorry! / Forgive meeeeeeeeee!
It’s been two months since then / but I still haven’t shown my face at the gym. / I still haven’t seen everyone.
Th-that so? But! / You must’ve seen Itagaki, right?
Manabu-kun… / quit working at Fishing Boat Makunouchi. / Eh!?
If senpai is going to be working fulltime, then there’s no need for a part-timer anymore. / And it works out, because I got invited to work at my father’s security company as a full employee. / So thank you for everything!
Full employee, huh. / There’s no helping it then, really. / Looks like his dad was finally able to make some connections.
Not quite… / His dad wasn’t able to secure himself a job.
Have you seen or heard anything about boxing? / Nothing’s come up lately. / He was nice enough to keep that talk down for me.
Itagaki-kun
Including Umezawa-kun, everyone around me has been taking extra care / I really am sorry / because of that I think I have to try extra hard to do it right.
Do it right?
Get used to a life / without boxing.
I know firsthand how stubborn Ippo’s willpower can be…
He must be done for good.
No-one around him will be able to change that. / Are you running home? / Yep!
Call me if you need help again! / Thanks!
Even I can’t help him here.
How do I tell him, “Good job” at this point? / I’ve got no idea.
Even in Tokyo, there are nights you can see this many stars, huh. / I’ve run on this bank a million times yet I’ve never noticed it.
I wonder why now… / Ah! This is why!
Because I was always just boxing.
I couldn’t even afford to look up at the sky / because I always just had tunnel vision about my next match. / My field of view was so narrow, my breadth as a person was so thin.
Seems like I forgot about the simpler things.
Ah! / Again!?
Resist! Resist!
I’m finally free.
I have to enjoy it with all my heart. / All the stuff I couldn’t do up until now / all the stuff I had to do.
It was great! / Thanks for inviting me!
Me too! / I really wanted to see that movie! / Oh? Is that the kind of thing you like?
It was a little over-the-top / but those love stories always get to me.
Over-the-top?
That scene where he saved his lover / he was cool, but he came at it a bit too directly.
He should’ve used his legs and rotated like this-
Makunouchi-san / Aaah!
Watch out! / Sorry!
Please be careful!
Y-yes.
It’s like it’s engrained into your body. / J-just a bit. / We’ll forget about it bit-by-bit.
He’s enjoying himself…
What a coincidence running into you two. / Mari-san.
I came to do a piece on Otowa Gym / Is Otowa Gym nearby?
If it’s a piece on Otowa, it must be about Imai-kun, right? / He’s so strong.
I’ve got something I’d like to ask you.
What is it?
Could we please not talk about boxing / at a place like this?
I wasn’t asking you.
Sparks are flying!! Has the gong rang outside the arena!?
THIS WILL CONTINUE NEXT WEEK
