I'm currently reading Holyland, an awesome manga about street fights. The reason why I decided to write about this Manga is because it's pretty different than other many manga of the same genre. It is, as you could guess, an action packed fighting manga but it's really realistic and there is always a detailed explanation of what happens during the fights in the manga, such as the tactics the characters use during the street fights and the amount of damage dealt.
Yuu is a high school kid who doesn't really fit in anywhere and in the beginning of the Manga with see him take down a supposedly strong thug with a genius one-two boxing technique. As the story progresses, Yuu becomes more famous in the streets and street fighters start calling him the "Thug Hunter," although Yuu is more like the prey than the hunter during the street fights. Holylands has a great character development and I really loved the plot twists in which sometimes the opponents become allies or where the assailant becomes the victim.
I have to admit, that the fights are pretty harsh and violent, but this is what makes Holyland great! I also love the fact that Yuu becomes pretty overpowered later in the manga and can take on 3 or even more opponents at the same time. Although Holyland is pretty much focused around fighting, there is no need to worry for people who love romance because there are a few hints of love in the manga and some really nice guy-protects-girl parts too, but when i say a few hints I really mean a subtle amount of love and romance.
Telling you more about Holyland would just spoil your reading experience so I will refrain myself from blurting the whole story plot :")
You can read Holyland at Mangahere or Mangafox (don't be fooled by the cover images, the artwork is better than that).
My personal rating is a whopping 8.9/10
