Customer Reviews

Just one thing....

This whole series was a great read, but I have a few gripes with the publishers. First of all, whose idea was it to mark the panels 1,2,3,4...etc so the reader would know what order to read in. I found this distracting, and also somewhat insulting. I think that once a person realizes that book is written right to left they should be able to read it without step by step instructions. The other thing is that the series seems to be incomplete. There should be at least 2 more volumes after the last one, that to my knowledge were never put into print. (in the US anyway) Anyway, now that I'm done complaining, let me just repeat that this really was a Very Good manga.

Dailin Dynamite

This is the third in the "Ironfist" series. The series follows the growth of our hero, who hones his mental and physical and spiritual skills to defeat his more one-dimensional-i.e., all fist, no brains-enemies. The text is printed in Japanese cartoon style, which means it reads from back to front, with numbered boxes. (Once you get used to the format, you will probably find the numbering redundant; however, at the beginning, it is helpful.) In this episode, Chinmi's sister, Mei Ling, writes him a letter, explaining that she's coming to visit him at the Dailin Temple. En route, however, she is abducted by a gang of punks called the Black Flame, who are led by Zangi, the cold-blooded master of Shockwave Kung Fu. To save his sister, Chinmi decides to challenge Zangi to a mano-o-mano duel to the death. How will he defeat Zanzgi. Can he defeat Zangi? Read on
