バキ [Baki]

Keisuke Itagaki's martial arts epic, serialized by Akita Shoten from 2000 to 2006, follows the brutal training and underground battles of Baki Hanma as he strives to surpass his monstrous father, Yujiro. Spanning 31 issues, this series is the direct sequel to Grappler Baki and a cornerstone of the Baki franchise, renowned for its hyper-detailed, visceral combat and philosophical explorations of strength. Itagaki's distinctive art and unflinching portrayal of violence cemented the series as a defining work of 2000s manga.
