Recent Discoveries: Gekkoh

Ever wonder what it takes to make a work of fiction jaw-droppingly amazing? To make a work of fiction able to quench the insatiable thirst all men have for pretty much anything that is good. Let’s put ourselves in the author’s shoes and together create something that can please as much of the manly man audience as possible.

First step: put everything in a suitable and interesting setting. Imagine modern day Japanese yakuza. Imagine the possibilities.

Second step: add men, not sissies. This should be pretty much self-explanatory. No self-respecting man would hang by the edge of his seat cheering a clueless wimpy idiot on. Adding tattoos is a bonus.

Third step: add punches. Nothing beats the good old punch in the face, whether the main man character is the one giving them or receiving them.

Fourth step: add women. Hot women. Adding sex is a bonus.

Fifth step: add a mystery. Something that you can only guess at. Adding intrigue and politics is a bonus.

Sixth step: add murder and a quest for revenge. If done properly, what man doesn’t like a good revenge story? Adding a katana is a bonus.

 

If you follow all these steps correctly, the end result would always be something of value. A manga that has them all, with plenty of bonuses, is Gekkoh.

 

I will leave discovering the rest up to you.
