3''Buyuden'' is a sports manga by Takuya Mitsuda, which was serialized in ''[[Magazine/ShonenSunday Weekly Shonen Sunday]]'' from 2011 to 2014. The story revolves around elementary school kids entering the world of boxing.

5Take Isamu is a 6th grader who looks down at his peers because he is the best at everything he does at school, from looks and smarts, to his luck with girls and his abilities as an athlete. He considers himself to be in the top percent of his age group and is incredibly bored with interacting with the so called normal people. A new student, Kaname Moka, transfers into his school and as she is fairly pretty, Isamu asks her out.

7Moka mishears what he says and thinks he wants to challenge her, as she grew up boxing. In fact, Moka is an amazing fighter and can even take down 5 middle school boys at once. Although Isamu can’t stand her violent personality and she can’t stand him for having so much pride, they start to grow attracted to each other. But then Isamu finds out that not only is Moka more athletic than him from all her years of boxing, she's also much smarter than him. Will he able to get over his overly sensitive pride and dive into a romantic relationship?

12* TheAce: Moka, before the TimeSkip, and Take, especially after the TimeSkip.
13* AdaptiveAbility: Isamu begin to develop this after training at Seidoukan. Foreshadowed during part one, where he learned a lot of advanced technique despite being a beginner, and in the heats of the match. Then again, [[JustifiedTrope this explained his proficiency with counters.]]
14* ALessonInDefeat: Isamu fell hard when Hayato defeated him, discovering that he needs to fight for real if he really wants to improve.
15* CantCatchUp: Despite being one of the main trio, Hyoma is quickly surpassed by the geniuses Take and Moka. He started better than Take then latter lost because of Take's learning speed and his own weakness. At the tournament he almost won against Watari who, at that part of the story, is roughly on par with Moka.
16** After the TimeSkip, Moka can't catch up to Hyoma and Take who trained themselves over the course of the time skip. Later on, both Hyoma and Moka can't catch up to Take.
17** The latest Time Skip has shown that even [[spoiler:Watari]] can't catch up to Take.

19* CasualtyInTheRing: We learn that [[spoiler: Moka's father died during a very important boxing match.]]

21* ChildProdigy: Pretty much every named character that isn't an adult in the first part, with the exception of Hyoma and Take's opponent in the first round in the tournament. Take is on an entirely different level in this respect, though, with almost everyone noting his growth, learning speed and adaptability.
22* ChubbyChaser: In recent chapters, Take admits he is one to help Moka[[spoiler:not try radical dieting due to her fainting in the middle of practice]]
23* CombatPragmatist: This is pretty much expected with the number of delinquents in the story.
24* {{Delinquent}}: Lots of them, including post-Time Skip [[spoiler:Watari.]]
25* FishOutOfWater: Moka, in fact this is how her relationship with Take started.
26* FragileSpeedster: Take before the Time Skip. His stamina is nothing special, considering his lack of experience. On the other hand his footwork and counters are top notch, the latter of which becomes his SignatureMove.
27* GameBreakingInjury: [[spoiler:Moka suffered an injury on her left eye that [[CareerEndingInjury forced her to drop her dream to become a professional boxer]]. It is cured after the Time Skip.]]
28* GeniusBruiser: Moka and Take are good at almost every subject including education.
29* GoalInLife: Moka's goal is to become Boxing World Champion. [[spoiler:When Moka couldn't return to the ring, Isamu promised her that HE would become the World Champion.]]

31** The TimeSkip in general, while the first part seems to end rather well, [[spoiler:the Hyoma's father passed away not long after the tournament, forcing the Dojo to shut down.]]
32* IDontKnowMortalKombat: Moka is unable to win in a Boxing VideoGame.
33* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his rather cruel approach, Koji actually cared about Moka's future and is concerned about the same happening to his daughter.

41* RescueRomance: This is what Take expects to happen.
