![]() Unlike North Star, which has a more fantasy-esque story, Fist of the Blue Sky is packed full of historical events and anecdotes reflecting the real-world sociopolitical turmoil of the time. The result of Kenshiro's intervention is a flurry of impressive fight scenes, drawn to more realistically emulate Chinese martial arts, rather than typical high-flying shonen manga action. Kenshiro goes to Shanghai to help his friends Pan and Yu-Ling with the growing threat of rival Triad gangs, which represent the Royal Families from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The protagonist, Kenshiro Kasumi, a Japanese professor in the 1930s whose easygoing nature hides his knowledge of the deadly Chinese killing technique Hokuto Shinken. Published in Weekly Comic Bunch from 2001 to 2010, Fist of the Blue Sky was written and drawn by franchise creators Tetsuo Hara and Buronson.
