Fist of the North Star Volume 12

In the original classic manga set in a postapocalyptic wasteland ruled by savage gangs, a hero appears to bring justice to the guilty. This warrior named Ken holds the deadly secrets of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken—the Divine Fist of the North Star!

In a postapocalyptic world, humanity has risen from the ashes of nuclear war to a nightmare of endless suffering. It is a time of chaos. Warlords and gangs of savage marauders and warlords rule the broken ruins of civilization, terrorizing and enslaving the survivors. Life has become a brutal struggle for existence and death the only release.

As the years have passed, peace has come to the wasteland. But it is an unjust peace, with the people now crushed under the boot of a powerful empire. Rin and Bat have become rebels, fighting for freedom and justice after reuniting with Kenshiro. Along with a bounty hunter named Ein, who once tried to bring Kenshiro in, the group faces new enemies—Falco, the Golden Wolf, and the brutal warlord Jako—who serve the mysterious Tentei. Falco and Jako have a whole army at their backs, but they’ve never come up against the likes of Kenshiro and Hokuto Shinken before…
