Book Description

September 28, 2001 Wounded Man (Book 1)
Keisuki Ibaraki is not a man to be trifled with and the pornography company, G.P.X., makes a grave mistake when they kidnap his high school sweetheart, force her to do unspeakable acts and then make her commit suicide. Keisuki is now on a mission of vengeance and will stop at nothing until he vindicates the memory of his dead girlfriend. Travel with him through the jungles of Brazil as he exacts his revenge, one by one, on the unsuspecting murderers. However, hot on his trail, is the pure-as-white reporter, Yuko Kusaka, sniffing out any kind of story that will gain her recognition. Keisuki confronts her and the ensuing Karate battle tests their wills, as well as Yuko's purity. Sit back, relax and let the sultry Brazilian weather lull you into a trance as you traverse through this action packed story!

From the Publisher

Prior to being a pioneering author in the field of comics, Kazuo Koike (b. 1936) learned how to write stories from Kiichiro Yamate, an author of period plays, after graduating from college. Most of his work covers diverse areas such as novels, scripting and lyrical composition, all of which were long running hits after they were released. He is a founder of Koike Syoin (his own publishing firm) as well as a professor at Osaka College of Art.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, filthy fun, November 5, 2007
By 
hippiehop (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wounded Man, Volume 1 (Paperback)
This book is intense to the point of insanity. As you can see from the other reviews, this is not everyone's cup of tea. It is a trashy pulp story and is completely successful from that perspective. I don't think it's as "good" as the creators' other books, but I may actually like it even more. It's just good, filthy fun. Once you realize what you are getting into, the ride is incredible. It is a hard-core man's adventure story. If you are a fan of these creators, check it out and see for yourself. If you aren't easily offended you will find an exciting story here. I would recommend reading the "Offered" series first, it is only two volumes and is very much in the same vein as this story.
