Kenji · review
Chinese martial arts in manga are normally very misrepresented. Most of the times,the "kung fu fighter" is just some bruce lee imitator,some big boobed chun-li wannabe or some cheap dragonball z rip off. This manga is not only the complete opposite of this but it might THE absolute best chinese martial arts themed martial arts made The author,which was a bajiquan practioner in real life,clearly made this manga with love and care because the detail this manga goes into is fantastic. It details techniques and concepts in rich details,presents us with less know chinese comunities like the HUI (aka chinese muslims),less known kung fu styles like Xinyiliuhequan. andeven some semi-exoterical concepts like chi and martial phtlosophy.
The main character kenji is little bland,but that is ok because,even if his name is in the cover,the true protagonist here is the chinese marrtial arts culture and we are only seeing through his eyes.
This manga is an absolute must read for any lover of chinese martial arts like me.
