Both will try to recruit Tanba to their own side, and Tanba will experience a world of fighting as he has never seen, with friends and rivals everywhere, and he will have to step up to the many challenges that confront him.
Features other martial arts characters from his other fighting novel series, The Gate of the Lions. Currently the best "serious" martial arts manga title in Japan, this is another of Baku's masterpieces that, unlike his other fantasy epic titles, has surprising realism in its deep exploration of martial arts and those who use it.
What does it mean to be strong? What attracts men to fight in hand-to-hand combat? These and many other questions are explained and detailed in Garouden, a novel series by Yumemakura Baku. Less...

Believe it or not even after the series ended I find time to reread this. This is such a realistic portrayal of martial arts in the modern era (ironic since the creator of Baki is the artist). The main character is my favorite, but I'm always switching my opinion between ten other characters. It is hard to exactly explain the hype. I just know prepare to grow some hair on your chest after reading this.

I just started reading this series, I've already read Baki up to when a certain past warrior from the past with a funny look in his eyes comes back from the dead, and MAN, this series took me back to when I was reading the MT (peak Baki imho), this series is pure adrenaline and testosterone injected right into the bloodstream, reading this made me start shadowboxing just from the thrill. This is a MUST READ, I know I haven't even reached the halfway point, but something tells me that if you LOVE manga, or simply, if you LOVE GOOD stories that transmit FEELINGS and human EMOTION and touch your HEART (making you want to fight is a feeling), START READING THIS NOW.

another one of thoese japanese stories that makes you wonder if japanese even remotely thinks and functions like the rest of the world
alot of the characters are so insane and out of this world that it is hard to read
there is no common sence
no logic
it is like reading a madmans ramblind suicide note
sure the fighting is "cool" but the story is just so so dumb
i like itagakis early art...so a 3

Yeah this is a pretty great manga at first, but the main character probably fights in about 30-40 chapters of like 250 chapters. The rest are fights with side characters who to me are uninteresting. The main character is a beast and awesome, but I want to see more of him. The other fights are good, but I don't care about them.

One of the best martial arts manga ever. By the same author as Grappler Baki, this is a bit more realistic.
