A massive cultural phenomenon, made even bigger by the hit anime based on it. To this day, Ashita no Joe remains one of the most important manga of all time, and now it will finally see the light of day in English for the first time! Stepping onto the world stage Driven on by his sense of obligation to Rikiishi, Joe continues to battle his way toward world champion José Mendoza--who haunts him even in his nightmares. When they happen to cross paths in Hawaii, Joe's rage gets the better of him...and while he may be the Wild Man, he'll need to control himself if he ever hopes to beat Mendoza. First, though, he'll have to go through Harimau, a Malaysian fighter even wilder than he is...!! This universally acclaimed classic is much more than a sports manga: it is a cultural touchstone and a realist masterpiece, perhaps the most prominent series ever to eschew any hint of the superhuman or supernatural, yielding a keenly observed human drama that captured the hearts of an entire generation on its way to becoming a runaway bestseller. Serialized from 1968-1973, Ashita no Joe made a particular impact on college students and the working class, who saw their own experience reflected in Joe's struggle. To this day, it remains one of the most important manga ever published, and this landmark omnibus edition marks its first appearance in English translation. Hitmaker Asao Takamori was arguably the biggest manga author of his day, while the massively influential Tetsuya Chiba was awarded the prestigious Order of Culture by the Japanese government in 2024, the first manga artist ever to receive that honor.
