Manshuu Ahen Squad

Also known as Manchuria Opium Squad.

Status: Releasing
Genres: Action , Mystery , Thriller

There is little documentation on the shadow of Japan, particularly on the actions of the pre-war army. However, due to the financial situation at the time, financial difficulties in Manchuria were chronic. Opium thus became the starting point for a war under the British dynasty and the Qing yoke. But opium was also widely used in China. The size of this market was extraordinary, and its funds enormous. An economy that included warlords, officials and merchants, as well as underground organizations. Against this tense backdrop, a young farmer opts for opium to finally earn enough money to care for his mother. But in doing so, he takes the first step in a spiral that will take him right into the middle of the mafia war.

With a fascinatingly realistic stance, the authors document a little-known historical period. Nothing is spared in this raw, violent title, where the oppression brought to bear on the young hero proves suffocating.

Ninku

Also known as Ninku.

Status: Finished
Genres: Action , Adventure

The story in Ninku is about an odd-looking 12-year-old boy named Fuusuke (Fuusuke the wind (風の風助, Kaze no Fūsuke?)) who is a powerful warrior from the Ninku school of martial arts, a style that mixes ninjutsu and karate.

It is explained that before the present time in the story that those who could use Ninku were targeted by an evil empire and the Ninku corps were formed to combat the menace. The names of the corps were taken from the twelve Chinese zodiac animals (干支 Eto) and each captain of the corps was called the zodiac animal Ninku master (干支忍 Etonin). When the war was over, the Ninku were defeated and almost all of them were killed (except for a few corps' captains) since they were useless and were also dangerous for the rulers. At the beginning of the story, three years later, Fuusuke, the young former captain of the 1st Ninku corps and controller of the wind and Hiroyuki (ヒロユキ), his flatulent penguin, start searching for the other Ninku captains, each of whom can control various elements. However, a new group of Ninku users has arisen and are trying to take over the world. Fuusuke and his penguin must defeat the new Ninku empire with the help of his old comrades.
