Set in a "futuristic, yet feudal Japan," and stars a samurai named Afro for his hair. The story follows Afro as he tries to avenge his father's murder. In the world of Afro Samurai, it is said that the one who becomes "Number One", will rule the world, wielding powers akin to a god.
Someone becomes Number One by killing the previous Number One and taking his ceremonial headband. However, the only rule in this world is that only the "Number Two" (also designated by a sacred headband) is allowed to fight the "Number One." The downside of this is that anyone (and typically everyone) can challenge and try to kill the Number Two, to gain the right to move forward and challenge Number One. Afro Samurai's father was the old Number One, until he was challenged by a gunman, "Justice" (who was then Number Two), who fought him in a duel to become the new Number One. At the time the gunman challenged his father, Afro had only been a child. The gunman severed his father's head right in front of the young Afro.
Now an adult, Afro Samurai is the current Number Two and a master swordsman; he travels the road seeking revenge on Justice, the current Number One. Lengthy flashbacks interspersed throughout the story detail how Afro rose from frightened boy fleeing the death of his father, to master swordsman, and eventually to become the current "Number Two", while the story in the present deals with the adult Afro making his way to the mountain top keep of the "Number One" to duel Justice, while at the same time the mysterious cult known as the "Empty Seven Clan" sends various agents to kill Afro and take his Number Two headband.

Shiro and his classmates take this warning lightly and head out at dusk only to find out one of their classmates who they thought they knew well turnz out to be a Hesperides.

Stardust Memories is a short story compilation of human beings in the distant future where we have traveled deep into space. Each story describes a moral dilemma that people traveling in space may experience which is something that we have yet to determine in the current world.

The Planet Garaga is a brilliantly written genuine S.F. story that tells of the unimaginable adventures that take place on that twisted world.
The King of Iron fist tournament usually centers in the feud between the Mishima family, and the 6th iteration of this tournament is by no means different in such aspect... However 'family feud' is a little bit of an understatement when we look at the full scale world war that is being waged between the corporations lead by Kazuya Mishima (father) and Jin Kazama (son).
The story of the manga focus in this feud, but through the perspective of Asuka Kazama, meddlesome girl that likes to prevent conflict and punish evil doers using her family inherited Kazama Ryuu kobujutsu. Her strong sense of justice forces her to take a stand against the chaos that her cousin Jin Kazama is wrecking at a worldwide scale. Asuka is virtually a town hero in Osaka and is known for having little patience, so "saving the world" by smacking around Jin sounds right about her area of specialty.
.... Unfortunately for Asuka, before she can properly engage in her destined battle, she happens to stumble into Lili Rochefort, her self proclaimed rival who is in desperate need of a bloody rematch to avenge an humiliating lost to Asuka in the previous tournament... Lili will certainly not budge at anything before having her sweet victory against the Kazama style, and will follow Asuka everywhere until she can achieve this... And just like that, Asuka's "world rescue plan" gets over shadowed by the necessity of getting Lili out of her life, without totally demolishing every bone of her 'only daughter of rich father', 'spoiled egoistic sadist princess' sweet little body.
Has the bonds of an unlikely friendship just been formed?
