Description
In the original classic manga set in a postapocalyptic wasteland ruled by savage gangs, a hero appears to bring justice to the guilty. This warrior named Ken holds the deadly secrets of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken-the Divine Fist of the North Star!
In a postapocalyptic world, humanity has risen from the ashes of all-out nuclear war to a nightmare of endless suffering. It is a time of chaos. Warlords and gangs of savage marauders rule the broken ruins of civilisation, terrorising and enslaving the survivors. Life has become a brutal struggle for existence and death the only release.
Years after the fall of Raoh, Kenshiro has vanished and Rin and Bat have grown to young adulthood. Attempting to honour Ken's legacy, they wander the wasteland defending the defenceless. Kenshiro himself now seeks only peace, hiding himself away in an isolated settlement. Tormented by the memories of those he has lost, he tries to give up the way of the fist. But the forces of chaos are always on the horizon, and Kenshiro will once again embrace his fate as the successor of Hokuto Shinken...
