In 1993, while still enrolled, debuted in a Korean shoujo manga magazine. Since then, he gained popularity releasing a number of works and publishing books on how to draw manga targeting a wide range of reader.
In 2004 he stepped into the world of Japanese manga. His “Ultimate Space Emperor Caesar”, serialized in Monthly “Comic Gum”, was his first tankōbon in Japan.
In 2005, 9 out of Boichi’s 11 hentai one-shot serialized in Comic Aun were reunited under the volume titled “Lover in Winter”.
In 2006, he released two science fiction one-shot, “Hotel” and “Present” which, in 2008, were compiled in a volume titled Hotel along the other one-shots “It was all for the tuna”, “Stephanos” and “Diadem”.
2006 is the year of Boichi’s first serialized manga: “Sun Ken Rock” in the bi-weekly magazine Young King. This manga will also have a side-story based on Yumin in 2011 and one based on Pickaxe in 2012. 2012 will also see the serialization of “I want to feed Yumin”, another spin-off of Sun Ken Rock based on Yumin and serialized in “Monthly Young King”.

In later 2011, he started the serialization of another manga titled “H.E the hunt for energy” in a new monthly magazine: Jump X. In this year, he won the Gran Guinigi prize for “It was all for the Tuna”.
To express his sentiment towards Vietnam and apologize for Korea’s action during the war, Sun Ken Rock volume 2′s royalties were donated to the humanitarian organization “Child of Viet Nam”. He asked Korean manga artists to contribute towards drawing a support page for Japan in regards to 2011′s big earthquake, and giving the royalties from the proceeding to the Red Cross. He also donated the money he planned to use to buy a new car towards helping tsunami victims.

NEEEED MORE. I REAALLY LOVE THIS MANGAKA!

El dibujo bastante espectacular y la historia empieza bastante interesante. Por buscar algo malo, la edición no tiene páginas a color y Boichi lo merece.

The art is very detailed, especially the building but the story trails behind. The characters feel very shallow somehow.

Ich bin ein großer Sun-Ken-Rock Fand, was ja ebenfalls von Boichi ist. Daher musste sich dieser Manga auch mit der Reihe messen. Leider schneidet Wallman deutlich schlechter ab.
Der Zeichenstil ist zwar genauso genial wie in Sun-Ken-Rock, aber die Story kann aus meiner Sicht nicht mithalten.
Die Geschichte ist mir persönlich viel zu actionlastig. Mir fehlt hier der Humor und die Emotionen. Die drei Hauptcharaktere sind durchaus interessant, aber bekommen keine Tiefe und ich habe auch nicht wirklich mit ihnen mitgefiebert, wie es mir bei Sun-Ken-Rock ging. Das Thema Auftragskiller und Mafia gefiel mir und auch wie die Charaktere aufeinandertreffen. Nur sind sie mir leider nicht wirklich sympathisch. Am Ende gibt es noch eine Wendung, die ich allerdings bereits erahnt hatte. Trotzdem werde ich Band 2 noch eine Chance geben.

Sexistisch und gewalttätig, aber eben auch enorm dynamisch gezeichnet. Vor allem die erste Actionsequenz ist großartig. Insgesamt aber doch zu frauenfeindlich und voyeuristisch für meinen Geschmack.

great art, an okay story execution but the almost creepy oversexualization is so uncomfy and unnecessary
and the plot isn't good enough to make up for it
