I'm not sure how you feel about korean manhwa, but The Breaker is the first thing that popped into my head. It's martial arts based too like Kenichi, and has some really good action. Unlike other manhwa, It reads just like a manga, from left to right so you shouldn't have any trouble.
At the state new waves is in, i wouldn't recommend the breaker at all. You will get a cliff hanger on the 1st season then 2nd season is complete shit.
Sports:
Slam Dunk.
Baby Steps is pretty good though, a rare bred in today's world of surreal, fantasy sports manga. Plus points for distinguishable characters.

I would recommend karate shoukoushi kohinata minoru if you don't mind the latent racism and homophobia. If you can it offers fun fights and developement, it's just that some of the panels make you shake your head at how the manga portrays race and gay people.
Yeah, that's true. :/ I'd love to recommend Veritas too since it fits in with the whole underdog but the ending just ruins everything. Which sucks, since I really enjoyed the whole thing.
on my list.

I branched into manwha quite a while back, its really good. The nine arts dragon (theory speculation) seems to have been brainwashed according to how that karate guy said hes not acting like himself.
I was reading slam dunk but it had no hints of romance and weakness in it, just a badass being a badass, which i like but got old.
I've read it and still reading it, its getting good, gone downhill with playing it safe with choosing a heroine for each main character and going to a school where gay people were pretty open about it made me ask "huh?" they make the brazilian fighter look like a horny bastard out to rape everyone.
author wanted to do veritas 2.0 but he can't find an artist

I mean, he's not like a horny bastard out to rape everyone, he is a horny bastard out to rape everyone. His introduction arc is him committing serial rape.
A big, burly brazilian gay who rapes people. Yeah.
Still reading too though. I still like minoru as a character.

Yeah I heard he wants to do a part 2, but it's been so long that I just put it in my mind that it's done. Plus, even if he comes back for part 2 what happened is still batshit crazy.
I really do wish it came back though.
My bad, think your focus was more on romance which Slam Dunk lacks. The main character did has character development though and the matches are all well drawn and illustrated.
That said, Baby Steps should pleasantly surprise you. It's going to take a while but it's worth it.
This sounds like something I should be reading.
And that was just from the Nyotai-ka bit.

So just a safer version of avatar trans?
It's manhwa, so you're cool. I always had problems remembering character names in manhwa. The only one I can remember tons of character names is Tower of God.
Yeah the latest arc was pretty shit, plus the author's having wrist issues so the art has been pretty shit too. I still enjoy the whole lore of the story and that's keeping me in.
Things are looking better right now though, plus it should pick up after the author takes a break for wrist surgery.
TOGs strongest point is its lore. There are also a couple of pages the author drew about the world itself but nothing in relation to the current cast.

Whyd you stop there, just before one of my other favorite characters comes. I just reread the first 15 chapters earlier today, anime does it so good and Tsukishima is incredible on both fronts, more teasing please.
I still love Slam Dunk, don't get me wrong. The illustration for the manga is honestly really good, even for this day and age where touch pads are of common use for artists. Baby Steps got boring, so I might re-read it again!
SPOILERS!!!
It really is an amazing series. I am so salty the translation got stalled.
city hunter any good?
It's so good. The art and writing are both great. Only about 140 chapters have been translated though.

There's a catch, I know it.
Not going to fool me.
She seems way to perfect to be true.
And no, its not being a yandere.
That is a plus, not a minus.
Actually surprised she hasn't done anything to the other girls even though she knows of them.
Which is your favorite?

Akira Toriyama's art become less diverse as he moved on it seems
Before Dragonball he made multiple hair and eye designs... Post dragonball everyone mostly has the same 3 type eyes designs and similar hair patterns
Look at the art in Dr. Slump for comparison
He hasn't drawn normal women for awhile
Instead they have the same template

...and it isn't only Toriyama
Oda fell to the lack of diversity as well as he progressed with the OP series
Seems like after manga artist hit their stride they choose effiecency over diversity
