Anime

anime like Ippo but instead of striving to be the best boxer he is working hard to become the classiest gentleman in the world.  And he admires and studies other fine gentlemen before him, and finds a mentor who teaches him tricks about fashion or manners or skills like piano and dancing.  But each thing he learns is fucking boxing intense.  Like he needs to set a place mat but forgets which side the fork goes on, and is like "OH no! (some terror thoughts) Is it the right!?  Or the left!?" just like a crisis in Ippo. And he has a flashback to his cotillion training where his mentor was like "put this fork somewhere" and he puts it on the wrong side and learns a valuable lesson or something and is like "THAT'S IT" and places it on the left side super triumphantly with awesome guitar music.  Then afterword he is so proud of himself for that moment and strengthens his resolve to be a classier gentleman every day.
