Kung Fu Boy

Kungfu Boy #1

It was predicted that a youth would come to the Dailin Temple.  He would have a fist of iron, legs of stone, and thought and vision of crystal clarity.  With his natural intelligence and extraordinary skills in the ancient Chinese art of unarmed combat, could the fearless Chinmi be the long-awaited Magic Fist?

Incredible action and adventure!!
The first and the best Chinmi from all Chinmi characters over the other series by Takeshi Maekawa!!
Most of the Chinmi training and fighting are extremely dangerous and excessive. But beside that, we can see how hard the mission, Chinmi can always survive because he never gives up. This story is funny and entertaining, too :D

Great to be able to read one of the Japanese Comic Strips and thanks that at last the publishers decided no mirror the layout (you start at the "back" and scan the layout from the right) ... so many Japanese comics get mangled by European publishers trying to mirror it with sometimes strange results.

The story is... what you would expect - the pleasure here is the graphics and the little asides that enable it to be read in different ways.

Easy reading with an insight into the world of Manga.

I remember I read this book when I was still a kid. The best kung fu's manga ever. Chinmi learn a lot during his journey to become a great kung fu boy. It's been hard to get this book at present.

Absurd light-hearted fun, the main character's youthful alcoholism notwithstanding.

salah satu komik paling berkesan dari masa kecilku selain Dragon Ball. Agak heran juga kenapa komik ini tidak populer secara internasional.

This comic series are my favorite. It is about martial arts. It is funny, very entertaining and inspiring both the martial arts details or mainly the Chinmi character who never gives up to any challenges he faces.

Komik Jepang pertama yang gue baca & satu dari sedikit komik Jepang yang gue suka. Pertama bacanya pinjem punya temen gara2 suntuk pas belajar matematika di SMA, eh kok lucu, nggak cuma cerita silat saja, tapi ada falsafah2 hidup yang dalam disana.
