Fist of the North Star, Vol. 13

Fist of the North Star, Vol. 13 by Buronson is a classic manga set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by savage gangs. Amidst this desolation, a hero emerges to bring justice to the guilty. This warrior, named Ken, possesses the deadly secrets of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken—the Divine Fist of the North Star!

In a world ravaged by nuclear war, humanity has clawed its way back from the brink of annihilation only to find itself in a nightmare of endless suffering. This era is one of chaos, where warlords and gangs of marauders reign over the shattered remnants of civilisation, terrorising and enslaving the survivors. For many, life is a brutal struggle for survival, with death often seen as the only escape.

Kenshiro has crossed the sole remaining sea on Earth, arriving in the land of the Asuras to rescue Rin. This blighted realm is governed by a brutal code, where only those who survive hundreds of deadly battles before the age of 15 are allowed to live. Although Kenshiro is aware that Jask is using Rin as bait to trap him and Falco, the two warriors are undeterred.

On his journey to the Gate of the Asuras, Kenshiro discovers another rogue martial artist. This individual employs the Hokuto Ryuken style, which may lead the land of the Asuras towards salvation—or its ultimate damnation!
