DD Fist of the North Star

**"In the year 199X… The world was NOT engulfed by the flames of nuclear war!"** Bat is your ordinary college student, working several part-time jobs to get by. But all that changes once his friend, Lin, brings in a man named Kenshiro to work at his convenience store. Bat quickly grows to hate Kenshiro - but unfortunately for him, that's just the beginning of many wacky adventures… And all he can do is retort! This is a gag manga of Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken). Taking place in a world where the end of the century didn't happen, all the characters have relatively normal lives. The martial artists are all drawn Design Deformed (or DD), while most other characters look normal. However, this can be enjoyed both on its own and as a companion piece to the original Fist of the North Star! **Note:** [Was up for consideration for localization by SMA.](https://www.manga-audition.com/comic-zenon/dd-hokuto-no-ken-by-kajio/) However, SMA has stopped all attempts at localizing manga after December 2016. Done by Osamu Kajisa, of [Bartender à Paris](https://mangadex.org/title/13da00cf-f2e1-40a5-a625-77c2c048e2b9/bartender-a-paris) fame. Here, he goes by the pen name Kajio(カジオ) which is a combination of his first and last name.
