範馬刃牙 [Hanma Baki] #9

A powerfully built fighter in a blue gi dominates this cover of the new edition (新装版) of Hanma Baki, Vol. 9 — fist cocked and expression fierce, he radiates the raw intensity that defines this martial arts series. The tagline "The Boy Fascinating the Fighting God" sets the tone perfectly for a story built around the ultimate test of strength and will. Keisuke Itagaki's unmistakable draftsmanship brings a gripping physicality to every line, making this Shōnen Champion edition a compelling addition to the series.
