The franchise has sold over 85 million copies across its extended series and remains visible to new audiences through its ongoing anime adaptation on Netflix.For readers of Fist of the North Star, Kengan Ashura, and combat sports storytelling, this box set offers the definitive entry point to Itagaki's landmark series.
