In a postapocalyptic world, humanity has risen from the ashes of nuclear war to a nightmare of endless suffering. It is a time of chaos. Warlords and gangs of savage marauders and warlords rule the broken ruins of civilization, terrorizing and enslaving the survivors. Life has become a brutal struggle for existence and death the only release.

In 1983, he coauthored the massively successful Fist of the North Star. He has also written numerous hits under the pen name Sho Fumimura, including Phantom Burai and Sanctuary.

Tetsuo Hara began his career with The Iron Don Quixote for Weekly Shonen Jump in 1982. Fist of the North Star, which began serialization in 1983, drew wide acclaim. In the 1990s, he released the historical period pieces Hana no Keiji and Tokugawa Ieyasu’s Shadow Warrior. Fist of the Blue Sky, published in 2001, ran for nine years in Weekly Comic Bunch. His most recent series, Ikusa no Ko: Oda Saburou Nobunaga-den, began in Monthly Comic Zenon in 2010.

What More Can I Say?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 16, 2023

Verified Purchase

I've forever been a fan of Fist of the North Star but had only ever seen the 80's, early 90's anime. This was my first time reading the manga and it did not at all disappoint. The artwork is on another level and that's saying something. The best artwork to be seen within a manga to me will always be Berserk (RIP Miura), however, this is a close second to me. The story so far is pretty much the same as the anime so as I collect the rest of the volumes I hope to see it deviate some but even if it doesn't, I'm happy with it so far. I've already purchased volumes 2 and 3 and can't wait to dig into them. Eager to get to Rei's arc in the series!

Classic story and in a very nice and sturdy hardcover edition. I can't wait to buy subsequent volumes.

Not much to say other than the artwork on the book cover is just eh. Viz is known for their laziness when it comes to making manga. The Japanese variants have way better design, unfortunately I think this is the only English version of the manga, other than the comics. Other than that, its great.

The story and especially the artwork is masterful and excellent. I would recommend this manga to anyone who is a fan of martial arts. This manga series is essential to the artform.

You’ve seen the anime, played the games and made the memes, now read the manga that started it all!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2021

Long before the days of the Super Saiyans and the Straw Hats, there was a little title in 1983 that revolutionized Shonen battle manga. This is a good old fashioned post apocalyptic slug fest that will wow and shock you to your very core! This is the world of Fist of the North Star! In the world of where our hero, Kenshiro lives in, the world as we know it no longer exists. There are no more government, no more industry, no more anything! All was wiped out in a nuclear war that made the earth a wasteland full of chaos and death! Roaming gangs and cults rule the people and the land they strive to maintain. Their only hope is a man that mastered the Hokuto Shin Ken (The Divine Fist of the North Star), a martial art that uses the channeling points of the human body to destroy anyone in a gruesome display that is too harsh for words! This man, is Kenshiro! He has gone down in history as one of the most powerful Martial Artists in fiction! His stance, his power, his attitude, and fighting style is utterly timeless! Very few can match his strength, will and fighting abilities! This manga has stood the the test of time, and if you want to read a Shonen Jump title that was here before the likes of Jojo, Dragon Ball and One Piece, look no further!

A Cry From the Heart!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is quite possibly the best first volume release of Fist of the North Star you could feasibly have. Viz have released Buronson and Tetsuo Hara's post-apocalyptic martial arts epic in a gorgeous new hardcover release, retaining all of the originally serialized color pages and a brand-new lavishly-faithful translation.

This volume contains chapters 1-13, which is a nice slice of the story that'll get you through all of the Shin arc and partway through God's Land. It's just enough to give you an idea of whether or not this story will be for you, and gives you just enough of the second arc to whet your appetite for the next volume.

As someone who's been a fan of this franchise since high school, I'm very happy with Viz's new Signature edition. It's the kind of high quality release that this series has begged for. Highly recommended, a must-have for fans of classic Shonen action.

A Classic long overdue and it's about time!

The media could not be loaded.

A Classic. It's right up there with other classics of great mangas like Dragonball, Dragonball z, Kenshin, Berzerk, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Vampire Hunter D, Akira, Ninja Scrolls ext: You get the idea it's great manga reading. Reminds me of Bruce lee in the world of Mel Gibson's The Road Warrior. You can't deny the inspiration for this was that movie the Road warrior. Kenshiro is a well built Bruce Lee lookalike and has similar mannerisms down to Bruce's howls and grunts. However in a apocalyptic world where water and food are most important , Kenshiro comes at the right time to save the day...but it's more than that. Definitely a must in your manga library. A classic manga long overdue here in the states. It's about time.

Fantastic release for a fantastic anime.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is such a fantastic release. The hardcover looks fantastic on either side, and the volume starts with the traditional coloured pages on high quality, glossy paper.

My only gripes (though not enough to stop me from giving this a perfect 5/5 review) is that the paper is still the traditional rough newspaper-like paper you'd expect from a normal $12-17 manga. For the price, I'd have expected a higher quality, brighter paper that's akin to printer paper that the VIZBIG editions of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z use.

Regardless, if you are a fan of Fist of the North Star like myself, this is the definitive and must have edition of the series. Haven't even opened this volume yet, and I've already ordered the next two.
