Thanks again for tuning in to another installment of the “Only Give Up!” review series. As much as it is a pleasure to write these reviews, it appears that it would be better to incorporate more brevity. Shorter, sweeter articles that focus on the action rather than long-winded sentences of every minute detail. Pardon, as I'm still learning.

The action today features two new contestants; Sayaka Ichihashi and Megumi Fukiishi.



Sayaka enters the ring wearing a solid red speedo with matching colored kneepads. Her elbow pads are white Asics and her ring boots are Mizuno trainers with gold trim.
