Seikimatsu Kyūseishu Densetsu Excel Kansū Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken (Gakken Plus, 2015) 世紀末救世主伝説 エクセル関数北斗百列拳

Overview “Legend of the Savior of the Ending Century: Excel Functions in a Hundred Blows of the Hokuto” (世紀末救世主伝説 エクセル関数北斗百列拳) is an Excel functions manual under official Hokuto no Ken license. Its title plays on the Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken, the hundred blows of the Hokuto, by replacing the character 裂 with 列, the spreadsheet column. The publisher presents it as a book to keep next to the keyboard.

According to the publisher and the table of contents, Kenshiro comments on each lesson from a manga panel. The ninety lessons, each titled “the scroll of” (〜の巻), are grouped into chapters named after the techniques and masters of the series. Toki's “soft fist” (柔の拳) thus heads the chapter on conditions, and the “man of deep love” (愛深き男), Shin, the one on text handling. Each chapter ends with a tip, the “vital point transmission” (秘孔伝承). Two features at the end of the volume entrust the creation of business documents to Rihaku, the strategist of the Five Chariots, and keyboard shortcuts to Amiba, the self-proclaimed genius.
