Knuckle Girl

This is garbage. This is another story about a person avenging their sibling through street fighting. The twist here is that the protagonist is a female fighting males. The problem isn’t that the protagonist is a woman. The problem is that she is an idiot. She seems incapable of understanding the concept of a street fight. Both her enemies and allies repeatedly explain to her that her way of fighting, combined with her female physique, won’t work. She ignores them and tries to fight anyway. As a result, she gets her ass beat. After catching a beating she goes “so this is street fighting!?” and goes out does the same thing all over again. She never learns. The logo of the comic is a pair of brass knuckles. But it never occurs to her to use a weapon. It took her awhile just to realize that she might want to wrap her hands if she is going to be punching people. I’m sure the author thinks he is building up to the moment she actually changes but he is overdoing it. At this point it isn’t adding drama it is making the reader go “not this shit again”.

The funny thing is, the sibling she wants to avenge actually fights in a flashback. And guess what? She uses a weapon.
