Fist of the North Star, Vol. 9

Fist of the North Star, Vol. 9 by Buronson transports readers to a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where savage gangs rule and justice is a rare commodity. In this chaotic world, a hero named Ken emerges, wielding the deadly secrets of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken—the Divine Fist of the North Star!

Humanity has risen from the ashes of an all-out nuclear war to face a nightmare of endless suffering. The time is one of chaos, where warlords and gangs of marauders dominate the broken remnants of civilisation, terrorising and enslaving the survivors. Life has become a brutal struggle for existence, with death as the only release.

Following an epic contest, Kenoh embarks on a new reign of terror in the wasteland, leaving his brothers behind. Meanwhile, Ryuga, one of his former lieutenants, betrays him to establish his own stronghold. Ken and Toki traverse the perilous landscape to uncover Ryuga's knowledge about Kenoh.

The only force that might still stand against Kenoh are the Goshasei, the Guardian Stars of Nanto, along with their last general. This hidden secret will bring Kenshiro face-to-face with those he thought he had lost forever.
