What is Fist of the Blue Sky about?

Status: Finished

A mysterious man known as "the King of Death" roams the streets of pre-war Shanghai in this action-packed prequel to Fist of the North Star.

Shanghai in the 1930s is a dangerous place. Foreign governments and Chinese factions have carved the city into different quarters, each with its own laws and government, and all rife with corruption. As the major powers vie for political control, the streets are left to local gangs. Life is cheap, and death is always near.

In days past, one man walked these mean streets battling the forces of evil. He was known only as Yan Wang, "the King of Death." Few knew who he really was, but many knew that he was a master of Hokuto Shinken - Fist of the North Star - a lethal martial art. He disappeared years ago after dispatching the city's worst gangsters, and is now rumored to be in Japan. Various people have come to Japan in search of him, but who will find him first?

Manchuria Opium Squad

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.
