Pachislot Hokuto no Ken & Shuyaku wa Zenigata & Yoshimune Dai Kōryaku Comic (Takarajimasha, 2004) パチスロ北斗の拳＆主役は銭形＆吉宗 大攻略コミック

Overview “Pachislot Hokuto no Ken, Shuyaku wa Zenigata and Yoshimune, the grand strategy in manga” (パチスロ北斗の拳＆主役は銭形＆吉宗 大攻略コミック) is a pachislot strategy manga volume that Takarajimasha devotes to three machines of the time, Hokuto no Ken by Sammy, Shuyaku wa Zenigata (主役は銭形) by Heiwa and Yoshimune (吉宗) by Daito Giken. It was released in the Wonderland Comics collection, like the “books of the transmission of secret techniques” series (奥義継承の書). The stories are arranged by machine. The Hokuto no Ken ones include “Fukashite yaru ze!” (フカしてやるぜ!), “Pachislot Boys” (パチスロBOYS), “Jitsuroku Hetarēman” (実録・ヘタレーマン) and “X-LIVE”, a series that also appears for the other two machines.

Pachislot strategy manga (パチスロ漫画, or 攻略漫画 when strategy dominates) form a genre of their own in Japan, with their own magazines. Their stories follow players at a specific machine, and each session serves to show how to play it, read its on-screen effects and guess its settings.
