Morikawa commented in recent years that, despite the more than 1,500 chapters published, there is still a long way to go before reaching the conclusion of Ippo&#8217;s story. The expectations for the future of the manga are high, and followers hope that the series continues to develop without sacrificing Morikawa&#8217;s health.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a landscape where other series, such as One Piece, have also had decades of publication, the health and well-being of the creators becomes a fundamental concern for fans.
