Building on the back of his success as a “fighting manga” master, Alex was chosen by the Monthly Comic Zenon editorial team to take on a name originally created by Toshiaki Yamada, the manga pro behind Zenon’s huge, Hara-sensei influenced historical hit The Tactician of Wind -Kuroda Kanbei – (Gifuu Doudou!! Kaze no Gunshi)!

“I am a long time fan of Yamada-sensei. To me, it is an honour to be selected to recreate a manga name he worked on.” Alex says.

Two masters of action manga combine their creative output to give you a story so explosive, you’ll have to sit in a dark room for a month! An action packed tale of redemption, where a champion of the oppressed will rise and dish out JUSTICE with a tool bag!

Alex is the third SMA MasterClass member to debut their incredible manga talent to a Japanese audience with our exclusive Zenon Creator Audition! If you are a manga artist who yearns to unleash your work into the Japanese manga market, then join the SILENT MANGA AUDITION® today!
