Kungfu Boy Manga ⚡ Authentic
8.5/10 – Wax on, read on.
October 26, 2023 Category: Manga Reviews / Shonen Throwbacks
Where Kungfu Boy shines is in its pacing. Unlike modern shonen that can take ten chapters to start a fight, this manga gets to the action immediately. By chapter three, Chinmi is climbing spiked walls and meditating under freezing waterfalls. The artwork (by Takeshi Maekawa) has a distinct retro feel—thick ink lines, heavy use of speed lines, and dramatic "impact frames." You can feel the weight of every punch.
