Strike It Rich is an underrated martial arts manga
While Yabako Sandrovich is known best for Kengan Ashura, thanks to its Netflix Adaptation, his newest manga, ST☆R: Strike it Rich, is a must-read for action manga fans. The story is about an all-female fighting tournament, with Sandrovich's love of gritty combat being highlighted as clearly as ever. No punches are pulled in Strike It Rich, with blood spilling as freely here as in any Kengan bout.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A series that features serious female combatants is often a rarity, as it seems easier to market them solely on their character designs or play their fights for laughs. Strike It Rich, at least, is willing to try something different. Sandrovich renders the fights at Valkyria with the same intense choreography found in his other manga.
Sandrovich's choice of protagonist is also a clever twist. Unlike Kengan Ashura's Ohma Tokita – a scrappy nobody who fights his way to the top - Hina Hongou is a physical and mental ace, and a dubiously villainous character. Supposedly the mastermind behind a fallen cult, Hina taunts Nozomi and her friends to find her powerful opponents in exchange for biological weapons she has stolen.
All in all, this new manga shouldn't be underestimated. Even if the brawny women make it seem no different from Kengan Ashura, Hina's inversion of the tournament's stakes ought to be interesting enough to follow, as readers will see whether the unfortunate organizers will succeed in beating the location of the WMDs out of "the deadliest schoolgirl in Japan". The manga only began serialization this April, and hasn't gotten very far with its bi-weekly schedule.
