Fist of the North Star, Vol. 6 by Buronson offers a gripping continuation of the original classic manga set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by savage gangs. In a world where chaos reigns, a hero emerges to bring justice to the guilty. This warrior, named Ken, is the keeper of the deadly secrets of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinkenβ€”the Divine Fist of the North Star!

In this bleak post-apocalyptic environment, humanity has risen from the ashes of all-out nuclear war to face an unending nightmare of suffering. Warlords and gangs of marauders terrorise and enslave the survivors found amidst the shattered remnants of civilisation. Life is a brutal fight for existence, and death often seems like the only escape.

As the storyline unfolds, we see Toki, recently liberated from his captivity in Cassandra, revealing the prison's secrets to Kenshiro. The City of Wailing Demons, a creation of Raoh, was built to imprison martial artists and strip them of their secrets. However, Raoh is not merely another wasteland warlord. He is Kenoh, the brother of Kenshiro and Toki, who once vied for the role of successor to Hokuto Shinken!

The plot thickens as Toki and Kenoh's paths intersect once more, rekindling a deadly struggle that began in the past.
