Do you like big muscular men that were clothes that leaves little to the imagination pounding each others faces in? Well boy do i have a great testosterone filled ultra violent martial arts manga just for you!

While the story isn't anything that will make your jaw drop the art and fights puts any battle manga to shame. The fighting is raw, gritty and follows true martial art styles but pumps them up to 11. Strikes that are faster than the human eye, fists that can brake through solid iron and muscle structure impossible for the human race are still here while never dropping it's realistic ... martial arts roots.

The art is amazing and really is the highlight of the manga! Itagaki, Keisuke really know how to make every panel count and when the fighting is in full force the art shines even more with striking poses and amazing fight choreography. The characters are also good. They are not anything outstanding but they do a great job of feeling intimidating and as an obstacle for Baki while still having enough character so the reader can feel joy in victory and sadness in defeat.

All in all Hanma Baki is an amazing martial arts manga. Its amazing and memorable fights and over the top violence will have you hooked from start to finish. Read it if you haven't already.
