      From: bliss@mouse-potato.com              Hi Manga Readers and Typers,               Tekken Chinmi              Author: MAEKAWA Takeshi              Genres: Action Adventure Comedy Martial Arts Shounen Slice of Life              Chinmi is a young Chinese boy devoted to martial arts training. Word of       his skill reaches the kung-fu masters at the famous Dailin temple who       invite him to study with them. Through his own dedication and the       guidance of his teachers, Chinmi becomes one of the top students at the       temple. Eventually the time comes for him to leave Dailin and make a       pilgrimage. On his journey he faces a number of dangers that test his       skills, but he also meets many people who inspire him in different ways.       A chastened but determined Chinmi returns to Dailin for advanced       training. But soon his skills are needed again - the Mongol hordes are       nearing the temple.               I found this 1988 manga about a young Chinese boy who does not fall in       a cursed pond but is a master of kung-fu. It is now online at the       usual sites.        The art is typical of the period with echoes of Kimagure Orange Road       and of earlier Tezuka young heroes.        The first chapter is amusing as he exerises his karate powers on       filling the water tank as and dealing a Drunken Master who is looking       for a young man to fulfill a prophecy. Dealing as well with villains.        He travels to a martial arts temple for the opportunity to drink more       rice wine and to train.        This leads to several other stories with the same hero. But we       have over 40 chapters online and the first two are pretty long.               bliss -who enjoyed her visit with Tekken Chinmi              --       bliss dash SF 4 ever at dslextreme dot com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
