HEY, I HEARD ABOUT THIS THING CALLED SENDO GAIDEN THAT'S AN EXTRA STORY OR SOMETHING...
| In Japanese, "Gaiden" roughly translates to "Side Story" and, in the context of Manga, refers to a spinoff story. The Sendo Gaiden story titled Naniwa Tiger was a One-Shot that appeared in the inaugural issue of Monthly Shonen Rival Magazine, a sister publication of Kodansha's Shonen Magazine where Hajime no Ippo regularly appears. It was re-printed and included as part of Hajime no Ippo Volume 84. |
HELP, I JUST FINISHED THE IPPO ANIME AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PICK UP FROM IN THE MANGA!!

After the Anime TV Series finished airing, a TV Movie (Champion Road) centering around Ippo in a fight against Kazuki Sanada was produced followed by an OVA (Extra Round) which is currently available in Japan only featuring Kimura fighting against Mashiba. In the Manga, Ippo's fight with Sanada takes place after Mashiba vs. Kimura. However, the Anime's TV Movie and OVA has Mashiba vs. Kimura taking place afterwards instead, most likely to have the first full-length feature showcase an Ippo fight. In case that was a little confusing for any of you out there, here's a little visual aid to help sense it all out:
Manga = Sendo vs. Ippo ~> Mashiba vs. Kimura ~> Ippo vs. Sanada Anime = Sendo vs. Ippo ~> Ippo vs. Sanada ~> Mashiba vs. Kimura
