Martial Arts Mofo

Post by b0mb3r »

Damn for the past few months I've been reading serious martial arts manga. Here are the top three

Until Death Do Us Part
Veritas
The Breaker

What caught my eye is that all three are drawn spectacular. I felt these three felt like a triplets sibling, all related to each other by how drawn they are similarly and how we only glimpse at the beginning of a long sh*tastic journey that will probably takes as long as one piece. Also the three has a sort of disciple coming to age going on:

Breaker's Shi-Woon Lee was very hard to tolerate at beginning but he truly shines with his hard work
Veritas MC Gangryong Ma's motto is that he will always learn from his battle despite his loss. Both his master and Shi-Woon resemble each other's cockiness and bad-ass master-level skill wise.
UDDUP's Haruka Tohyama isn't quite like the strong disciples above but she is learning to harness her "ability" and she is very unique in her own way.

Trust me they are very good. the only warning is that I would wait ten years before reading this.

The most distinguishing thing about all three is that they have the three hottest manga girl I've seen for a while and they all look alike (in black and white manga form. just read it and enjoy the fan colorings)

Breaker's Shiho Lee

Where is History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi in that list? That is probably one of the best martial arts mangas I've ever read in terms of real world usage.

While I do like the manga alot and it introduce me to alot of different martial art syles, again it can be ridiculous when it comes to the masters. I really don't really pay in mind how credible their skills are rather just super exaggerated (not saying a badass blind swords man, a lighting-based fighter nor a kid who becomes super-powered aren't) but compare to these three is nothing.

no I am not saying that nor saying the martial arts they show aren't real but again they follow manga's exaggeration.

Example:
Spoiler! :
When Akisame fought one of the Nine Shadow Fist using construction steels to make buddha statues with his Jujutsu. Thati s fun and awesomely ridiculous but again exaggerated. it just doesn't seem as grounded as the other series above.

TGM...I think i hate you (for now) because I spend 12 hours reading Change Guy straight. It had such good premise but the ending was SO LAME!!! Arggghh so many questions unanswered and such. It was doing so well until that stupid

Yeah it's translated, but it isn't a fighting manga. It'd be random if anyone recognized it.

My guess would be Sousuke from FMP, since it does look a little like him, i TGM tend to like FMP :)
