It was serialized in Weekly Comic Bunch from 2001 to 2010, with the chapters collected into 22 tankōbon volumes by Shinchosha. It is a prequel to the popular 1980s manga Fist of the North Star, which Hara originally illustrated with Buronson writing. Set primarily in Shanghai during the 1930s, the series centers on the 62nd successor of the Hokuto Shinken martial arts style, Kenshiro Kasumi, the namesake and predecessor of Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. The manga was adapted into a 26 - episode anime series that aired on TV Asahi from 2006 to 2007. A continuation of the manga, titled Sōten no Ken : Re : Genesis ( 蒼天 の 拳 RE : GENESIS ), began serialization in the December 2017 issue of Comic Zenon. It is written by Hiroyuki Yatsu and illustrated by Hideki Tsuji. An anime adaptation of this series began airing on April 2, 2018 on Tokyo MX. Contents 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Media 3.1 Manga 3.2 Anime 4 References 5 External links Plot Further information : List of Fist of the Blue Sky characters The main protagonist of this story is Kenshiro Kasumi, better known as `` Yan Wang '' or `` The King of Hell ''. Kenshiro is a laid back and chain - smoking Tokyo professor who is secretly the successor of the deadly Chinese assassin martial art Hokuto Shinken. He travels to Shanghai after hearing that his Triad friend Pan Guang - Lin and love interest Pan Yu - Ling are in trouble. In Shanghai, Kenshiro fights the three Hokuto families, the Hokuto Sankaken ( based on the royal families of Romance of the Three Kingdoms ). At the same time he helps Pan 's Qīng Bāng triad against their rivals, the immoral Hóng Huá Huì, in gaining territory and influence in Shanghai. Production Many of the plot points mentioned in the comic contain real historical facts, such as how Shanghai was controlled by the foreign concessions ( the story focus mainly on the French settlement ) during the 1930s. Also seen are Jewish refugees who escaped from Nazi persecution in Europe, and the invasion of China by the Japanese Army. Chiang Kai - shek and some historical Kuomintang figures appear in the story as well. Tetsuo Hara wanted the fights in the manga to look more like traditional Chinese martial arts, so the action is somewhat faster and more detailed than those in Fist of the North Star. Hara went to Shanghai in person to get his inspiration. Tetsuo Hara describes the protagonist Kenshiro Kasumi as a combination of the strength of Kenshiro, the good nature of Keiji Maeda from Hana no Keiji and the sarcastic attitude of the title character of Nakabo Rintaro. Media Manga Written and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara, Fist of the Blue Sky was serialized in Weekly Comic Bunch throughout the magazine 's entire history. Beginning in its first issue with the cover date of May 29, 2001, the chapters were published irregularly until the final issue in August 2010. Publisher Shinchosha collected the chapters into 22 tankōbon volumes. An English version of Fist of the Blue Sky was serialized in the now - defunct manga anthology Raijin Comics published by Gutsoon ! Entertainment from 2002 to 2004. Four collected volumes were published by Gutsoon under their Raijin Graphic Novels imprint before the company went out of business and ceased publication of all their titles. A continuation of the manga, titled Sōten no Ken : Re : Genesis ( 蒼天 の 拳 RE : GENESIS ), began serialization in the December 2017 issue of Comic Zenon. It is written by Hiroyuki Yatsu and illustrated by Hideki Tsuji.
