Synopsis
The story follows the life of a comic superhero named Kinnikuman, also known as "Muscle Man," a weak and clumsy fighter who tries to become the greatest fighter in the world. Kinnikuman is an alien from the planet Kinniku, and despite being a hero, he is often seen as a clown by the other fighters.
Kinnikuman is a fighting comedy manga created by Yoshinori Nakai and Takashi Shimada , then known collectively as Yudetamago . The manga originally ran in Japan in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1979 to 1987, and was later adapted into an anime series, films, and games.
The manga is known for its unique blend of comedy and action, as well as its distinctive art style, which is often parodied in other series. Finally, Kinnikuman also has a dedicated fanbase worldwide and remains popular today, nearly four decades after its first publication.
