   At Manga Fox read enough of this:   
            KARATE SHOUKOUSHI KOHINATA MINORU Manga   
      
   Released:           Author(s):          Artist(s):   
   2000              Baba Yasushi        Baba Yasushi

   Kohinata Minoru is a college student at a college that is popular for   
   its sports rather than academic orientation. He starts out as a   
   gymnast alongside his friend, Nana, but is bullied by his gymnast   
   seniors. One evening, a karate student at the college, Mutou Ryuuji,   
   witnesses Minoru being bullied and comes to his rescue and drags him   
   into the world of karate. Minoru makes new friends and learns some of   
   their dark pasts, including a shocking death that reveals motives for   
   revenge.   
            I read about 35 chapters of this up to the trip to Okinawa.   
            Minoru does ok and has an exciting arc where he learns to   
   fight to protect a fellow member but then they adopt as a club   
   member a violent sodomist who has anally raped quite a few   
   members of other groups and who was going after Minoru.   
   Mutou at the opening arc is a fighter who roams the campus   
   in a mask attacking the top members of other MA clubs. He attacks   
   the Judo Club leader and the JC brings in an Old Boy working for   
   the yakuza. At the beginning of the arc about the masked sodomist   
   it is believed to be Mutou and Mutou participates in his capture but the   
   club leader insists that the rapist will be a great club member.   
            There is another sexual exploiter besides the person   
   mentioned above and a Naginata club whose members help   
   Minoru and Hayama, his goof-ball room mate.  This develops   
   a bit of love interest in a typical fight comic.  The chapters   
   are very short which leads me to the conclusion that it must   
   have been a weekly publication.  I hope this is never published   
   in the USA just because of the perverted characters who are not   
   non-violent but who misuse their strength and skill to subdue their   
   victims male and female.   
   	I doubt that learning Karate will be an adequate punishment   
   for rape.

   	PS these may sound like spoilers and if so I hope they are   
   enough to keep you from reading the story.
