The Boxer 7 leaves readers breathless and clamoring for the next volume as Yu unleashes his rage on the wrong person.
The Boxer 7 manages to top the previous volume’s cliffhanger ending with one that leaves readers screaming in shock and excitement. It flips the script on hero and villain. Instead, it shows that some can morph into bad people while others can have all the appearance of villainy but be upstanding with a stronger moral foundation. The surprises never stop; it manages to humanize villains in a way that makes them understandable and, at times, sympathetic while incorporating blow-for-blow bouts of mayhem. The Boxer 7 leaves readers breathless and clamoring for the next volume as Yu unleashes his rage on the wrong person.
Created by JH, the volume shows Carmen in the hospital after someone assaulted her. Translated by Webtoon and lettered by Adnazeer Macalangcom, the Yen Press comic does not falter its momentum, churning forward. So, the logical conclusion for Yu is that the Santorini brothers are responsible. After all, they are known for tormenting their competition before a match to weaken them psychologically. With Yu’s Coach K putting that belief in his ears, it’s easy to see why Yu snaps. But underneath the surface, the story of Carmen is unfortunate and disappointing. It demonstrates how sometimes who we know is not who we see in front of us now.
The Boxer 7 Makes The Santorinis a Caring Family
While the brothers are instigators seeking to distress their opponent, Coach Marco and his boxer brother, Fabrizio, are not villains. In fact, they may fit the description of “products of their environment.” Like previous volumes, they take a perceived villain and flip the tables to such a degree that readers feel sympathetic toward them when Yu devastates them. But Marco and Fabrizio’s story is one of the most heartbreaking and relatable. They are trying to support a sister plus a mom with mental disability. Given the horrors they saw as children, it’s understandable. Impoverished and without help, they had no choice but to mature fast. The Boxer 7 reverses who readers cheer for.
A Hero’s Return
As the story unfolds, readers discover that the Santorini brothers were not responsible for Carmen’s hospitalization. It was Coach K, a figure she had trusted and known for years, who orchestrated the attack to goad Yu into violence. When someone who rarely speaks says the bout will go all the rounds rather than a KO, prepare for wrath. So, the series skillfully blurs the lines between hero and villain, demonstrating that perception does not always align with reality. This constant evolution creates a complex narrative, keeping readers guessing and eager for more.
The Boxer 7 unveils loads of surprises, tons of action, and a cliffhanger that inspires excitement for what’s to come. Plus, it’s a fascinating story that looks into the industry and how people adopt personas to become memorable in boxing. To achieve success, they exude a larger-than-life personality, be it cold, mean, heroic, etc. Thanks to the action and unique characters, The Boxer 7 is a memorable volume that flips the story with shocking revelations. JH’s focus on creating unforgettable characters with a plot that’s focused yet with a broader message ensures stellar stories.
