Hokuto no Ken Kin’yoku no Garuda, Volume 1
Synopsis
Garuda, nameless warrior of Nanto and practitioner of Nanto Shinchoken, targets the head of the Last General of Nanto for a reason born from a bond of the past. At the end of the inevitable confrontation with the Five Chariot Stars, what will he discover? The story that became the starting point of the bond between Kenshiro, the Five Chariot Stars and Yuria, and the memory of the solitary fight of a man who stood up to sound the alarm to a Last General still locked in stillness. The volume concludes with a special dossier dedicated to the origins of the character, from Tetsuo Hara's first sketches to his pachislot version.
Author's preface
THE RELENTLESS PEN OF NANTO!
I want to apologize to the entire team for all the trouble I may have caused while I was working on these pages. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Yoshiji Yamaguchi. I hope you enjoyed reading this volume as well as its rushes at the end of each chapter. When I was offered this spin-off, I had just gotten out of the hospital and I wasn't sure I could carry out this task. I made a lot of stupid mistakes on the pages intended for serialization in Zenon magazine and I feel truly ashamed. So a big thank you for trusting me until the very end. My uncertainties came true. Just as I had barely started, I went into anaphylactic shock and ended up in the emergency room. I then quickly got back to work, working like crazy to turn in my pages on time... It's a real miracle that I pulled it off!
Last cool thing: I was able to enjoy myself for the collected volume publication by making the changes that mattered to me compared to the first run in the magazine.
I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN VERY SOON FOR A NEXT MANGA!
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO ALL OF YOU HOLDING THIS MANGA IN YOUR HANDS!
