Action Martial Arts Shounen

The King of Iron fist tournament usually centers on the feud within the Mishima family. The 6th iteration of this tournament is by no means different in such aspects; however, "family feud" is a little bit of an understatement when we look at the full-scale world war that is being waged between the corporations led by Kazuya Mishima (father) and Jin Kazama (son). The story of the manga focuses on this feud, but through the perspective of Asuka Kazama, a meddlesome girl that likes to prevent conflict and punishes evil doers using her family-inherited Kazama Ryuu kobujutsu. Her strong sense of justice forces her to take a stand against the chaos that her cousin, Jin Kazama, is wrecking at a worldwide scale. Asuka is virtually a town hero in Osaka and is know for having little patience, so "saving the world" by smacking Jin around sounds right around her area of speciality. Unfortunately for Asuka, before she can properly engage in her destined battle, she happens to stumble into Lili Rochefort, her self-proclaimed rival who is in desperate need of a bloody rematch to avenge a humiliating lost to Asuka in the previous tournament. Lili will certainly not budge at anything before having her sweet victory against the Kazama style and will follow Asuka everywhere until she can achieve this. And just like that, Asuka's "world rescue plan" gets overshadowed by the necessity of getting Lili out of her life, without totally demolishing every bone of her "only daughter of rich father", "spoiled egoistic sadist princess", sweet little body. Have the bonds of an unlikely friendship just been formed? (Source: MU)

Historical Slice of Life

They are burning Japanese cars in Detroit. The top management at Toyosan Motors must decide whether to begin offshore production of its cars in the U.S. But our hero Mr. Kudo fears that offshore production will devastate the numerous local subcontractors of Toyosan, leading to a hollowing out of the auto industry in Japan, leaving only a financial shell. The American color TV industry has already suffered such a fate. The villain, Mr. Tsugawa, calls Kudo a wimp and sees a splendid opportunity for union busting. Will our hero prevail? Thus begins the first episode of this rollicking yet incisive introduction to the world economy from the Japanese point of view. Other episodes treat the appreciation of the yen, the impact of the 1970s oil shocks, deficit financing, the internationalization of business and banking, and the post-industrial future of Japan and the Pacific Rim. The book is an English edition of volume 1 of Manga Nihon Keizai Nyumon, originally published in 1986 by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the Japanese equivalent of the Wall Street Journal. It is based on a serious introductory text put out by the newspaper and is packed with informative charts and facts. When the comic book was first published in Japan, it was an immediate best-seller, selling over 550,000 copies in less than a year. The stories in the book reflect Japan's national mood during the "Japanese miracle" and into the 1980s economic bubble: apprehension and optimism jostle one another, and there is a sense of national self-pity. The book also reflects a deep suspicion of politics and bureaucrats. The prime minister appears more worried about his government's popularity than about taking the right economic course. Ultimately, the employees at Toyosan Motors demonstrate that the success of the Japanese economy will not depend on natural resources or politics but on business practices that are ethical, socially responsible, and forward-looking (Source: University of California Press)
