I mentioned ToTT because it's already finished. If I were to mention ongoing manga, Kochikame has 35 years and almost 1800 chapters and it'll probably have 3000 chapters before One Piece even catches up with the current numbers.

Unlike One Piece though, plot development is excruciatingly slower paced. Mind you, One Piece plot development is slower too when compared to the current high paced series like Fairy Tail and Naruto, but its is well done in a way that readers don't really mind getting detailed information.

Hajime no Ippo is best to read during the actual fights. I've read ALL the bloody chapters and quite frankly I'm tired of the same insert new intimidating fighter, train, learn the other guy's weakness, fight a losing fight until the very last rounds, get motivated by some means, win fight, rinse and repeat. Again, I mostly read it for the actual fights and for Takamura's awesome hilarity.

yeah I was gonna say Kochikame but I think it's made by different authors so I decided not to.

ask me anything

I think Hajime no Ippo will probably last 2000 chapters. Ippo still hasn't fought outside Asia, and Takamura has only acquired 2 out of the 6 world titles he wants.

No, it's made by the same mangaka since the beginning, he just changed his artistic name when the series got popular. And, to be honest, I don't know any major manga series having multiple authors outside of having a writer and artist duo, although that might change for many long-running series (Berserk comes to mind).

About Hajime no Ippo, I can't bring myself to continue to read it, I tried but its pacing is atrocious to me, it's like Stephen King's writing on steroids.

Edit:Wouldn't that be 3000 chapters, considering 2 titles out of 6 and the manga already has more than 970 chapters? Sheesh, I'll be a grandfather by the time it ends.

Watch the anime of Hajime No Ippo, it's ten times as good as the manga. Best sports anime IMO and i've watched slam dunk, should say something
