![]() ![]() ![]() They enhance the scene, but don’t distract from the panels. The sound effects in particular flow and fit in with the artwork a lot better in the print release. They also have new lettering and sound effects too. They’ve even included sentences that were not present on the Webtoon release to add more context when needed. There's a section where Coach K is explaining a fight, for instance, that is much different from the digital release and it is much easier to follow. The sentences flow and read better in the print release and they changed the wording of select sentences to give them more impact too. Another thing to note is that they updated the translation in the print release. I enjoyed reading The Boxer on Webtoon's site, but it was primed and ready for a print release, especially with the way it reads and the impact the panels have on the page. I love the look of the volume, but it's how it reads and the way they cut and paste the panels that impresses me most. They highlight and represent the series well, both on and off the shelf. The design of the volumes is minimal, but they are aesthetically pleasing, much like JH’s artwork. The Boxer logo is raised, glossy, and textured, so it pops out from the matte white cover. They have matte white covers, black and white artwork, and bright red text. I couldn’t have been happier with the design of the first volume. The Boxer, Volume 1 collects the first 9 episodes of the series. Much to my excitement, Ize Press later picked up the series for print release and the first volume is releasing on December 20, 2022. The Boxer is complete with 123 episodes and it was first released with English translation digitally on Webtoon. ![]() The Boxer is one of my most anticipated releases of 2022 as well as one of my favorite series to release to date, so I couldn't wait to get the first volume in hand. JH has created some of my favorite manhwa, including The Horizon, which was confirmed to be getting a print release by Ize Press at Anime NYC 2022, as well as The Boxer. ![]()
