When it comes to shonen manga, anime and games, there are few with as much knowledge and love as the Shonen Otaku. Join me as we look at all different varieties of action-packed media.
Remember when I found that kickass, rare, colored Fist of the North Star manga volume at a used book store? Well, I went back there today, and found another rare piece of awesome I didn't know existed.
Indeed, there is a full-colored King of Fighters manga that retells The King of Fighters 2003. I was aware they had a prequel manga for King of Fighters 96, but that wasn't released in America, to my knowledge. It's a shocker, to say the least. It's almost like that time I found my Viewtiful Joe figures.
Admittedly, the artwork isn't the best, as some lining is jagged and many faces look the same, but I do like the writing. It plays around with the characters and expands on a few things; kind of like good fanfiction. You can expect me to reference it at least once after I get to 2003 in my retrospective, but that's quite a ways away.
