yessir. anj has one of the better payoffs in manga(never saw anime) id avoid looking up anything about it or youll get spoiled right off the bat.

follows Yabukis story as a hoodlum with 0 direction before working his way up in the boxing world. Characters have actual issues they struggle with you can find parallels of irl and it affects their psyche/condition when they're competing or out and about, and you can see how getting punched in the head for a living worsens their health
Read Yong-bi Kims backstory if you want to see how deep the characters go
