Fist of the Blue Sky
Souten no Ken
Shanghai, 1930s. A city carved up between foreign powers and Chinese gangs, where corruption runs deep and life means nothing. It's the perfect hunting ground for the mysterious figure known as Yan Wang—the King of Death. Nobody knows who he really is, but everyone knows what he can do. Yan Wang is a master of Hokuto Shinken, the Fist of the North Star, a martial art so deadly it borders on mythical. He spent years cleaning up Shanghai's worst criminals before vanishing, and now word is he's crossed over to Japan. This is his story—a prequel diving into the legend before he became a ghost story, back when he was still walking those mean streets taking down the people who preyed on them.
