And then it just...ends there with the sister becoming quickly better. Surviving. And then a time jump to modern times where Aozora is merely a dying grandfather whose life story encourages his young adult grandson to be more motivated to folow his dreams.
It's...okay. Early chapters were a little rough, but the middle chapters really hung on & hit its stride.
TL;DR - This boxing manga series gets better & better until the Dad is revealed and...eh, it ends. And the timejump was unnecessary.
All that said, when it was clear the series was being canceled - the way it ended was...less than stellar. Aozora's father was a Japanese soldier in World War II. And disappeared.
But, then is discovered to be living in the wilderness for reasons, hiding from all of his problems.
And then Aozora finds him using his underground criminal friends to help. And then they box. And Aozora kind of wins, kind of. Mostly makes his Dad realize he needs to go home and stop hiding from reality.
Do Retry was an interesting series. It was set in a post-World War II Japan with a sick sister and rough brother who gets pulled into underground boxing tournaments to try to raise money to help his sister.
The series followed Aozora as he tried to raise the money for his sick sister by boxing. The series progressively gets better as it goes on as Aozora learns to be a better boxer. It was an interesting, and grittier sports / boxing manga.
Do Retry - Our hero is trying to learn stronger techniques, finds a study guide, gets stopped by some dude who apparently knew his father...and they're going to fight soon!
Oh and the study guide was made by the main character's Dad when he was a boxer.
WHAAT!

Do Retry - This is the story of how #Trogdor got a single beefy arm...
Do Retry - Solid chapter. Our hero gets his card to be allowed to participate while giving us a well done boxing match. His tenacity is unrivaled and willingness to just get...pummeled until he psyches out his opponent.
But, we also get a clear reminder that this is underground, organized crime. And dangerous.
Definitely keeping me engaged.

Do Retry - Well, looks like our hero is going to make money via underground boxing.
I mean, that's where we're going. He can take a MASSIVE beating and keeps getting up.
We'll see where this goes, but this new series is starting to get me invested.

Do Retry - Story of a brother and sister duo who are living on the streets after WW2 in Japan as their home was destroyed & Mom died after US attacks.
No, it's not #GraveOfTheFireflies.
That's the setting of Do Retry. The kid's Dad was a boxer before the war & the son always wanted to do that too.
The first chapter ends with what appears to be him getting that opportunity after he gets enough money to help his sick sister.
I'm not sure where this will end up going, but it's got underground boxing tournaments so...let's hear it out.
