Hokuto no Ken, Volume 5
Synopsis
His sister Airi and Mamiya, whom he loves, being held hostage, Rei is forced to fight Kenshiro. If Hokuto and Nanto clash, they will destroy each other. However, the two men deceive the Fang clan by putting each other into a state of apparent death, and take back Airi and Mamiya. Rei then learns that the man with seven scars who kidnapped his sister is not Kenshiro: it is Jagi, a fellow disciple of Kenshiro in Hokuto Shinken, who commits his crimes under his name. Kenshiro sets out to confront him. When Jagi, cornered, reveals to him that the tragedy of Shin and Yuria is also his doing, Kenshiro's fist begins to roar...
Author's preface
Lately, I have to make strong resolutions just to go outside during the day. I don't know why, but I can't walk around calmly, without fear. Is it because I stay locked up in my room all week and don't see anyone?
In short, it's my fault, because I work slowly. When I do go out, it's almost always at night, when there are few people around. To be honest, my only entertainment would be listening to stories from bar regulars or overheard snippets at the counter.
A dreary life, it seems.
