About the series
Rumiko Takahashi, the legendary creator of Ranma ½ and Inuyasha, brings her signature blend of comedy and heart to this three-issue series from Viz. One Pound Gospel follows a boxer struggling with his weight and a determined young nun, with Takahashi’s expressive art and Gerard Jones and Mari Morimoto’s translation capturing the humorous, tender dynamic. A compact, character-driven story from the late 1990s, it showcases Takahashi’s talent for balancing slapstick with genuine emotional stakes.
