Kenshiro ni Yoroshiku
A manga about a young man who is inspired by Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star and trains hard to take revenge on the criminal who ruined his life. But instead of being able to kill with acupuncture, all he has become a top rate massage therapist.
It’s not surprising that Jasmine Gyuh‘s follow up to Back Street Girls is something as ridiculous as a massage therapist hell bent on revenge. I think it’s hilarious that Kodansha is publishing this manga directly referencing Fist of the North Star, which is a famous manga from another publisher!
The best thing about this book is that the target of revenge turns out to be dying from cancer so the massage therapist has no choice but to use his massage powers to save the criminal’s life so he can eventually get to killing him with pressure points. A hilarious series but I don’t know how Kodansha will get around the references to Fist of the North Star and publish this in English.
You can read it online in Japanese on Comic Days.
