“Maguma is obsessed with baseball; in fact, his dream is to hit all the strong fastballs on earth. However, Maguma isn't a good team player and doesn't actually have any interest in joining the baseball team! Now, Meguma no longer gets a thrill of hitting a baseball at 140 Kph, so he decides to take up tennis, where balls can fly over 160 Kph! Will Meguma be able to handle this new speed, and will he be able to conquer such a different game?” (Torico)

Azuki: Your Digital Manga Cafe
While undeniably popular, tennis does not compare to baseball or soccer in its native Japan and is not considered the most popular sport in any given country. So, while referring to “Gut's” as a niche seems slightly misleading, it nonetheless caters to a less celebrated sport in the manga medium. As such, there is only a...

“At first, Mantaro Ohara was just an ordinary salaryman with slightly bigger appetite. For Mantaro, eating is something to be enjoyed and the idea of food battle does not sound attractive to him. But his meeting in Pork Cutlet store with the professional competitive eater, George Hunter, gradually changed his view and passion towards gourmet competition… And they probably would not let this unexpected “dark horse” escape either.” (Torico)

*I read Gourmet Glutton on the Azuki App.
Anything can become a ‘sport' under the idle hands of mankind, and manga has explored many real-life and fictional competitions. However, the world of competitive eating is arguably one of the least explored sports in all manga. Yes, there will be ample scenes of famous characters stuffing their faces trying to outdo one another, but to create a long-run series whose sole...

The film is based on the ero guro manga by Suehiro Maruo, which circulated in 1984 and was previously adapted in an anime film, in 1992, titled “Midori”.
The story revolves around 14-years-old Midori, an orphan who is picked by the Aka Neko circus troup. The other members include Kanabun, a seemingly cute transvestite who harbors a truly dark side, as he has no issue in killing two puppies with his heels in order to cook them for the troupe. Muchisute is a man with no arms filled with bandages, who is capable of doing everything with his legs, including shooting a bow. The rest of the members are a brute who swallows swords, a sultry woman named Kojiro Arashi and two utterly peculiar creatures of unknown origin. All of them seem to bully Midori, occasionally becoming violent towards her, even blaming her for the commercial failures the circus is experiencing. Everything changes however,...
