Decent review. The fan-service was distracting for me, this time. Not because it give me boners but because it seemed forced...as if he was trying too hard to provide fan service. Aiki (the manga) does better with this fanservice stuff than this one as it doesn't seem so out of place and forced.
Also, please keep posting your reviews on KMC because I won't remember to check any other way.

I know right? These guys are just wimps.Really I don't estimate the fanservice to be too bad in this fight since Miu has relatively little to lose as far as clothing goes. Rimi will probably lose a lot but eh.
Well, there's something else about these manga that is not being pointed out: notice that the men lose their shirts all the time, too? I think we do not notice it but 100 Dan Man is consistently running around topless or with a shirt wide open. I just thought about that as I was considering whether or not the manga was sexist...it really isn't.

Yeah, see my reviews where I note the male fanservice on the covers. 😛
Yet we have another reason why I both love and kind of loathe HSDK http://www.mangapanda.com/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/504/11 😐
In other news Sig and Hermit's fight is pretty cool why Takeda continues to be uninteresting. Oh and "Super Miu" strikes again 😖igh:
pretty much! makes you wonder what kind of other positions those two girls will end up in. I swear, the author abuses those two more often than Miu, fanservice wise anyway.
and yeah, I gotta agree with you on the super Miu thing, wakkawakkawakka: sigh. I understand she is the granddaughter of Hayato and the daughter of two powerful martial artists, but this is starting to get ridiculous; it'd probably take an expert level martial artist now to fight her evenly at this rate.
Yeah but Miu's ubber perfection has always annoyed me as the series progressed though trying to fit that in along with the fanservice got ****ing weird in the Junazard arc.
I still think Shigure and big-boobed chick from Yami get the worst of it in terms of ridiculous fanservice though Renka and Rachel are definitely catching up.
It has always been hinted, since the very first chapter, that Miu was hiding powers. You should not have been surprised about her getting Ki-release power-up when it was already explained that Miu had, basically, master-class levels of Ki hidden under the surface (why else would Pervy-Mask Guy try to brain wash her and make her his soldier in the previous arc?).
The only character that has had to work for every last bit of his power is Kenichi. His amps have been piecewise every step of the way.
He wasn't surprised. That's the problem. Miu has not been challenged by anyone except Kano, which barely counts since she's still above Kenichi apparently. There is no tension in whether or not Miu will lose because no matter what Rimi did, rage Miu would eventually pop up and settle things rather quickly.

I didn't realize that tension had to exist. Why do we need tension in an irrelevant fight, again?
The only relevant fight is Kenichi's. There is still a possibility that Kenichi could get his ass beat down and get rescued at the last minute for sure death. That's a possibility. That's the only fight we should care about. That's the only one that is important.
Miu's fights? Ha! This is Japan: the most sexist modern nation in the world (fact...just learned it in college). She will eventually become the arm-candy to Kenichi.
What needs to happen is a time-skip...and Kenichi needs to grow about 20 cm taller.
