In the original classic manga set in a meteorological desert overrun by wild gangs, a hero emerges to bring justice to the guilty. This warrior is named Ken and possesses the deadly secrets of the mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken—the Divine Fist of the North Star! In a post-apocalyptic world, humanity has been reborn from the ashes of total nuclear war into a nightmare of endless suffering. It is a time of chaos. Warlords and gangs of savage bandits dominate the ruined remnants of civilization, terrorizing and enslaving the survivors. Life has become a fierce struggle for survival, and death the only release. While Hyo fights to save Rin from an army of Asura, Kenshiro's battle with Kaioh for the fate of the Hokuto Soke bloodline reaches its climax. Long ago, Kaioh abandoned his love for his brother Raoh, but why? The answer lies in the demon's tragic childhood. Kaioh may have gone too far to care, but Kenshiro is not about to give up. A story that began 2,000 years ago with the birth of Hokuto Shinken is approaching a bloody conclusion!
