Product Description

Young kung fu adept "Sing" is an honorbound disciple of the legendary Shaolin Temple. His sole goal in life is to find a way to package the philosophy and physical teachings of his beloved Shaolin kung fu so that contemporary masses can learn, benefit, and apply these doctrines to their daily life. When he hooks up with a former soccer champion he quickly realizes that the world's most popular sport may just be the vehicle to spread Shaolin kung fu all over the globe. But first he must assemble a team worthy of the Shaolin name. Yet his secular, out of shape former kung fu brothers are far from impressed with his idea. Kung fu action and sidesplitting comedy are heading your way!

Shaolin Soccer - the manga
Any fan of the movie Shaolin Soccer will definitely like this HK manga. It is very well drawn (Andy Seto's artwork is again topnotch) and has beautiful colors. I gave this manga only a 4 because the manga is literally a direct translation of the movie with just a little extra thrown in. They also did not do Ah Mui (the dough girl) as she was in the movie (the ugly duckling outcast). Also they didn't bring in the villianous coach in the first book. My hope is that the artist and publisher will take the story on to the next level in the future books.
