Serialized in 'Weekly Shonen Champion' (Akita Shoten) since 1991, the 'Baki' series is a popular martial arts manga centered around the intense battles of protagonist Baki Hanma, the youngest champion of the underground arena, and his father Yujiro Hanma, known as the "Strongest Creature on Earth." Their epic father-son battle concluded with a mutual victory, temporarily settling their long-standing feud.
