Manga Spotlight: Kengan Ashura
The Illuminati? Fight Club? Waifus? What else do you need?
There’s something blissful about watching two men break each other apart in hand to hand carnage. Dragonball Z, One Punch Man, Yu Yu Hakusho, all great series with some fantastic exchanging of hands. But now, with its recent anime release on Netflix, I wanna talk to you about Kengan Ashura.
Kengan Ashura follows the story of Yamashita Kazuo, your typical salary man, and Tokita Ohma, a drifter and terrifying street fighter. Their story takes place in the world of the Kengan Matches, underground brawls organized by the CEO’s of the worlds biggest companies. Ever wondered what it would be like if Disney and McDonalds hired gargantuan martial artists to settle disputes? Well look no further!
Kengan Ashura’s story takes place most of the time during a massive tournament between 20 of the worlds biggest companies at the behest of the Kengan Associations chairman in order to see who can replace him. The story is very straightforward at first but early on brings in a number of side plots and character spotlights, because that’s the most important part of the story, its characters. From world-class MMA fighters, to African Mercenaries, to an ancient assassin clan with selective breeding of the worlds greatest killers, the diversity of the stories characters makes the manga a very vibrant story. Each are written with tons of personality to set them apart, and even the villains have a deep charm and wit to them. The best thing is that despite being a simple concept, the story has a good habit of keeping you on your toes, with twists and match results that you’d never see coming.
If you want a well written battle manga with beautiful art and great characters, fighting that gets you hyped with each chapter, and also some top tier cute girls, then I would highly recommend this manga. And if you enjoy this manga then I have good news! Kengan Ashura’s series is continued with the ongoing Kengan Omega!

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
