Manga Review: Punch Up!, Volume 1, by Shiuko Kano


Rating (Out of 5): ~3
Publisher: SuBLime (VIZ Media)
Release Date: July 2012
Volumes: 6+
Spoilers?: No.
Volume: 2.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Architect Motoharu Maki is hanging out at the construction site ogling a particular hunky, well-toned construction worker when he is unexpectedly reunited with his lost cat, Shinobu. The reunion is all thanks to Kouta Ohki, a foul-mouthed young ironworker who found and cared for the lost cat. Unfortunately for Kouta, this act of kindness led to his eviction! When Motoharu agrees to take in young Kouta, will he be able to tame this feisty stray? Includes a bonus Play Boy Blues side story.

Review:

Maki is working when he discovers his long lost cat, and finds out he comes with a stray man as well. He accepts this, and they starts to grow comfortable living together, until doubtful thoughts are planted to make him reconsider.
This was just meh. The artwork is okay, not great. I didn't really get much from the characters, the romance, or the plot, honestly. I really wanted to like this, but I couldn't feel much for it in the end. I want to want to continue this series, as the volumes look so good, but I doubt I'm going to.
