| Starting it today, because I'm not getting home early tomorrow. When it comes out feel free to discuss, I'll discuss when I get back. Every chapter that comes out I'll update the title to the latest chapter and we can continuly discuss on this thread. Please invite others to join because we have only few members, more would be nice. But either way I opened up posting to non-members so people who didn't join can discuss as well. |

| Just read it. No problem Oxwivi. Nice progress, it seems some more realistic moves were explained (thank god) and Kenji is about to fight using his new moves :D |
|
Oxwivi said: Which unrealistic moves could you be referring to? Few chapters ago: Pressure Points and inner energy, I was afraid the manga might become unrealistic but its back on to the realistic plot. That is probably the best part of this manga: it is able to keep on the borderline between realistic and not and STILL make it good. |
|
| I understand your reasoning however the way they were used was completely unrealistic. He hit him in a pressure point and stated he would be like that for ever unless he "released" it. I agree as well with internal energy but when kenji punched him he got shot back I agree its possible to absorb a blow but not like that. ----------------------- Chapter 8 Discussion Starts Here ----------------------- Kenji was so ultimate in this chapter... It was great I want to see Kenji improve even more :D |

| I think you've convinced me to appreciate this manga even more than I did :). I only wish more people were here to discuss Kenji manga, we do have 8 members but they are not posting :/. Regarding tomorrows chapter I may get here late so you can start up the discussion if you want. |
|
| Very true. I some times post on mangafox but I like a place where I can post for the chapter rather than just post when someone makes a thread for a question of some kind. |
|
| does anyone here practice martial arts? i am starting tai chi quan on my own until my boyfriend teaches me shaolin gung fu. so far i am loving this manga. i hope kenji's grandfather is ok.. |
  |
| Looks great. Kenji seems to be really determined and I believe tony will show up to fight Kenji at some point.. I was waiting for a rematch! noir_reves said: I agree I do hope his grandfather is ok he was awesome. And I don't practice martial arts because I do other sports and don't really have time for it. I also believe martial arts is pointless unless you devote your life to it but I already have others things I wish to devote my life to. I understand the science that goes into martial arts and I love this manga and how they explain where the power comes from.does anyone here practice martial arts? i am starting tai chi quan on my own until my boyfriend teaches me shaolin gung fu. so far i am loving this manga. i hope kenji's grandfather is ok.. |
|
| Its not out yet but I wont get home till around 6 tomorrow so I'm starting the next chapter discussion. ---------------------- Chapter 10 Discussion Starts Here ----------------------- |
|
| Just read it, I think tony is a good enemy for kenji. Kenji is all technique and has fought few but usually wins :D. Tony however is more muscle and hardcore strength he as well fights and usually wins. This makes them like explained in the manga yin and yang: I would like to see who would win if they fought. Last time they fought I thought Kenji would have won that but after displaying his strength Tony may not go as easy next time. |
|
| ************************ Volume 11 ************************ ---------------------- Chapter 1 Discussion Starts Here ----------------------- I believe that three day training was like... we did this, then that and now for the final thing... LOL it went too fast. Isn't his task a little extreme? Do the punch move to the shrine and back... Also of course he would see "ghosts" with that amount of work i wouldn't be surprised if he fainted. But I guess hallucinations are just fine: or are they? Either way this seems like quite a challenge. |

| Sounds good we will see in the next chapter.. Will he have enough energy left to fight himself? |
|
| Lol I kinda expected that it would be his peers who would play the role of the ghosts. It was so short and was kind of a waste of time so... Move on :D |
|
| ---------------------- Chapter 3 Discussion Starts Here ----------------------- Well it seems this chapter was discussion and no action (except for the demonstration). I think I like the idea of flowing motions rather than abrupt motions. I hope Kenji will learn the smooth motions as well as increase in strength. |
u8sandApr 25, 2010 6:58 PM
|
| I think you should fight and flow to reduce delays in your movements, I'd rather get hit as little as possible and send plenty of hits. I agree its endurance but if your hitting them more and not getting hit they will definitely tire out faster than you. With flowing motion you can send consecutive attacks without delays to tire your opponent. |
|
| I thought it was great. Not much accomplished but they had a nice fight together to say goodbye. I wonder how Kenji will make it on his own.. They never really went through him learning the language much did they. :O |
|
| I don't think they will get together though.. Who knows I wanted to see Kenji beat those guys up but oh well :D.. He could write but couldn't talk to them..? What is that because of the many different dialects but he could speak and write so I know all the Chinese writing is the same even the if they speak differently.. What to the Chinese have against Japanese anyway? |
|
| Oh ok ---------------------- Chapter 6 Discussion Starts Here ----------------------- Now I believe you.. :D She is definitely another girl in his life. Doesn't is seem like there are hardly and women in this manga? |
|
| Nice. They fight well 2gether <3. Why do so many people seem to know Tony, is he that well known? Many also know that Kenji is his rival, I guess Tony talks about him. |
|
| But do gang networks really extend that far to completely different places with different languages. It also seems many strong and/or important people know of him, hes not your average 'gang' member. ---------------------- Chapter 8 Discussion Starts Here ----------------------- A movie star? What a strange reason to become a martial artist, I understand the "learn to stay alive" part. Kenji seems allot better than he believes himself to be: I want to see him fight someone at his level (like tony) :D. |

| ---------------------- Chapter 9 Discussion Starts Here ----------------------- Not much of a chapter, we learn that many have English names because of British colonization, bobby and tony are buddies. I doubt bobby will make it but who knows, it seems volume 11 is done. |

| ************************ Volume 12 ************************ ---------------------- Chapter 1 Discussion Starts Here ----------------------- I knew something like that would happen at the movie shoot. The volume cover looks cool, Kenji is portrayed very aggressively.. I just wish he would act that way! |
u8sandMay 9, 2010 9:31 AM
|
| I agree, it happened to fast and wasn't very impressive... |
|
| ---------------------- Chapter 2 Discussion Starts Here ----------------------- What a long code... I think I agree with you now: there is a lot of gang and mafia business involved with this manga. Kenji doesn't realize it but he has entered a dangerous world but his personality may be fit for it. Who is Jonny again? His face reminded me of tony. |
