Hokuto no Ken, Volume 17
Synopsis
Ein hunts bounties and earns his living by the strength of his fists. Lured by the bounties on Rin, Bat, and Kenshiro, he challenges them, but Kenshiro dispatches him with ease. Ein then joins Bat to take a district town crushed under tyranny, and discovers that there is a justice worth defending, higher than bounty hunting. Determined to change his life, he tries to liberate the city, but finds himself at an impasse when his little girl Asuka is taken hostage. Kenshiro then appears and saves him. After freeing the Han brothers, Buzz and Gill, Ein's companions, from prison, Kenshiro and his allies hear the name of a new adversary: Falco the Gold, general of the Capital. Falco is the heir of Gento Koken, sent by the Celestial Emperor who reigns over the Central Capital...
Author's preface
This time, the neighborhood I moved into is so small that the shops don't stretch any further than the length of the station platform. Beyond that, there's nothing at all!
This neighborhood reminds me of a television studio set. I took a walk thinking I'd find a record shop, but I was stunned to see there wasn't even one!!
