ironfist chimmi

i read this in my library and it was fab. the story is about a boy who is destinened to be great at kung fu and is funny and friendly throughout. i later goes on to fight new opponent and gain more friends and enimies! i wish i could read ' the crooked cross' though my library doesn't have it.

One of the best manga books around

i really love the Ironfist Chinmi series. My favourite is probably Victory for the spirit, but this is good too. I recommend it to anyone who is into manga and fighting. It is really, really very good and i enjoyed it tons.

Great writing and great art make this book a must read!

The smooth flowing art and exquisite writing style used in Ironfist #1, make it a must read for all manga and anime fans. I can't wait to read Ironfist #2. I'm sure it will be just as good!

very well written will be the next Miyazaki

I have the Japanese version, all 35 of them. Plus I also have the Shin(new)-Tekkin Chinmi, which is the Japanese title, volumns 1-4 and not to forget the Shin-Tekkin Chinmi-Gaiden (the other Tekkin Chinmi)-all three sets. And I love them! Maybe I'll buy them all over again. =)

Adventure story of a boy with super-natural kung fu power!

This was a cool comical book. Fun to read with pictures to figure out the story. Interesting to read but this book reads from back to front and right to left. Was awkward at first but it did not take long to get use to. The character Chinmi is a playful and mischievous boy with a sense of humor. Accompanied by his monkey companion, he wants to fight and have fun. Discovered by an old drunk who becomes his mentor who teaches and hones his fighting skills.
