Hajime no Ippo's mangaka.

Currently, I'm at 140s (still a long way to go ( )
Well, while reading around 130-140s something clicked about this manga and the mangaka. I'm not sure if it's true or not.
Around these chapters, Ippo's Mom gets hospitalized due to exhaustion/overwork and Ippo had to take up the business responsibilities and came up with a decision to quit boxing. That time, his high school friend, Umezawa shows up to help Ippo and himself for his career. Umezawa plans to become a mangaka and wanted to make a boxing manga.

I thought, the mangaka of Ippo might also had somewhat similar fate but not exactly same as in the manga. The number of chapters talks a lot about his(mangaka's) love for Boxing.
Am I right?
By the way, why isn't there a separate section for Hajime no Ippo?

Umezawa is supposedly the mangaka of HnI, indeed. Atleast, in the storyline he represents just that. I never saw an interview with the mangaka of hni though. Would love to hear him talk about his own past leading up to his idea for ippo

I it's one of my favorite mangas. Too bad it has only that few chapters :|

I tried watching anime like 2-3 times, But I couldn't continue. But reading manga is better in this case. You have your own way of imagining the panels.
