Synopsis
Aoba Suzuki is a gloomy, physically weak first-year high-school student who has spent most of his life in the shadows. After being casually dismissed by celebrated fighting prodigy Kenshin Akazawa, Aoba becomes obsessed with landing a single punch on him. He joins the struggling Shark Gym and enters the world of mixed martial arts, where his analytical mind, stubbornness and talent for grappling begin to transform him into a dangerous competitor.
Red Blue is Atsushi Namikiri's ongoing MMA manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday. It follows Aoba Suzuki, an introverted underdog who develops into a grappling-focused mixed martial artist. The series emphasizes realistic training, tactical ground fighting, striking-versus-grappling matchups and Aoba's unusual, sometimes unsettling competitive mentality.

What it feels like
Visual identity should follow the supplied volume-1 reference: Aoba as a lean young fighter with dark blue-black hair, bruised face, intense eyes and blue MMA gloves, rendered with rough ink, watercolor texture and bold red/blue graphics. Keep the presentation grounded in realistic MMA rather than superpowered martial arts.
