Souten no Ken, Volume 1
Synopsis
While Puyi, the last emperor of Manchuria, arrives in Japan under military escort, haunted by the fear of being assassinated, one name is on everyone's lips: Yan-Wang, the "King of Hell," who once made the Shanghai underworld tremble. Behind this nickname hides the successor of the Hokuto Shinken, who has seemingly become a peaceful university professor.
Author's preface
Shanghai in the 1930s, a gigantic megalopolis, incredibly prosperous, a city of evil and extremes… It harbors every dream, every most irrational desire. "What if the successor of Hokuto Shinken lived there?" Images started racing through my mind; I was so excited! In this world of violence and passion, I wanted to portray the hero of Sōten No Ken - Ken, Fist of the Blue Sky, Kasumi Kenshiro, as majestic as the blue sky and as repulsive as human nature. With the collaboration of Mr. Buronson, I hope to write a new adventure, different from that of Hokuto No Ken - Fist of the North Star.
