Info Share | 'BOXER' Announced for Anime Adaptation

The original work is a boxing-themed webtoon by Korean artist JH, which began serialization in 2019 and has now concluded, surpassing over 1 billion cumulative views worldwide. It also won the Main Prize at the 2024 WORLD WEBTOON AWARDS. The Traditional Chinese version is also available on Taiwan LINE WEBTOON. Legendary boxing coach K has trained numerous world champions but is still searching for his final disciple. One day, he encounters a boy named 'Yu,' who has vacant eyes and shows no interest in his surroundings. Even when bullied, the boy has no intention of fighting back, yet K discovers an astonishing, extraordinary talent within him. Under K's guidance, Yu steps into the world of boxing and faces one opponent after another with overwhelming skill. But with no drive for victory or defeat, what is he fighting for? I haven't read the original, but I found out it's already completed and unlocked on LINE WEBTOON~ After doing some research, it seems this isn't a typical hot-blooded growth sports manga. The protagonist possesses monster-level talent from the start, and the story focuses not only on boxing matches but also on the characters' psychological portrayals, as well as the individual lives and beliefs of different boxers. I'll put it on my watchlist for now and wait for the broadcast date announcement! 😆
