This is shaping up to be possibly my favorite Kenichi fanfic. It is already one of my favorite fanfics and I'm looking forward to reading more chapters of this story in the future!

hey loving this story so far i cant wait to see where you go from here i really like how you added someone new instead of sticking with kenichi this is one of my favorite anime but your right kenichi is a wimp for like 85% of it and never seems to grow a spine until a fight happens so i cant wait to see how this fanfiction goes good luck

hope you update this soon, this story is amazing

Ok I just have to ask if Shirou thinks Kisara is Hot then does that mean he could gain her affection? Cause if that's the case then that would be AWESOME I loved her when I watched/Read the series. I thought she was the Hottest/Sexist Girl in the series even though she wasn't Big in comparison to the other women of the Series. I'm looking forward to see how Shirou and Kisara's Relationship in the story goes

I laughed pretty hard since calling someone a spoon is a joking Australian insult.

Im really enjoying this story so far, but i really hope that Kenichi still has some relevance and doesn't stay as a scared pessimist and get some character development and grow as a person without second guessing himself at every fight he takes place in. I really hope you at least let him work hard and achieve his goal, not just Shirou.

The main character kind of reminds me of Accelerator with both his appearance and personality, is he based off him? I like the story so far and can agree and say that Kenichi doesn't really fit in as the main character in a series like this one in my opinion, my opinion would've been different if it wasn't the fact that despite kenichi getting stronger physically, he hasn't really grown mentally, he's constantly doubting himself and is afraid to fight whenever a fight is about to break out, it was okay and a little funny in the beginning however it does start to get on my nerves during the middle and later parts of the series. Maybe adding an accelerator/yusuke type of main character would be better.

This is so far a great story my only complaint is the words in the last set of parentheses who is talking there I think it’s Sakaki but it should be clarified still in my opinion like on thing of parentheses (Kenechi hears Sakaki words echoing ...) something like that.

Will you take some ideas from "Baki" and "Kengan Ashura/Omega" Anime/Manga series, to mix into Shirou MMA styles?

That would be awesome and show some unique to see what fighters he faces against.

Oh! What if Shirou fought some fighters from "Baki" and "Kengan Ashura/Omega"? Win or Lose, it would be exciting to show the world of Martial Arts is large and Shirou has many fighters to challenge/fight for the rest of his life!

Great chapter! Can't wait to see what happens next!

Hi there! I am Striker, a fan of yours and here I am to give you a recommendation to help you build this story's plot in a more impressove and thoughful manner!
I highly recommend you to see the Manga Garouden, and the manga Tough. In both works there are a lot lore regarding superhuman martial arts whose techniques and fighter will be an excellent addition to this fic. I mean, in Tough there are people capable of to use an Ultra Instinct-like power and some deadly techniques that could blow your insides with a mere touch!

I'm really enjoying this story so far and I'm looking forward to seeing more!

This is a gem please continue it to the end.

Favorited and followed, I started browsing Kenichi fics out of curiosity to see if there was a good OC fanfic and o' and behold a gem that was just polished shows up. You've made out Shirou to be a strong and competent fighter, he seems to be adapting well to his training. (Add in character tags lol)

You've hinted his dad is really stronger, not elder stronger but stronger than the rest of the masters. You've got me curious about him. Maybe Shirou's Old Man has met one of the Masters.
Regarding Shirou's backstory you've replaced the promise, Kenichi made with Ryuto with Shirou. In the manga, that promise and later fight with Ryuto was a huge part character development so in regards to how you've replaced Kenichi I'm curious as to how you'll have his growth change in contrast to the manga. I'm awaiting Shirou's shocked expression when he realizes Miu was the reason Ryuto and him wanted to get so strong.

Finally, Shirou called out Kenichi on his shit, and in return, it allowed him to man up, a bit.

Out of curiosity just so you're not plainly sticking to the manga what the chances you'll bleed in Baki or Kengan Asura into the mix you'll probably have to mix in the lore if you do (ex. Gaolong and Apachai are the same age at the start of Kengan Asura and are prominent Muay Thai fighters well known in their homeland.) If you plan on changing Shirou's backstory with Ryuto later on perhaps it could be a goal he made for himself against Baki.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to future chapters.

Good job, Good history development.
