Manga Tenjo Tenge
Tenjo Tenge is a Japanese anime and manga series written by Ogure Ito, also known as “Oh great!”, “The Creator” or “Air Gear”.
Tenjo Tenge in the story of Souichiro Nagi and Bob Makihara as they enroll in the Todo Academy, a martial arts school where Mitsoumi Takayanagi is the president, with the goal of taking over. When they realize that the school houses some powerful fighters and they cannot take control, they join the Juukenbu club, captained by Maya Natsume.
The Tenjou Tenge series focuses on the battle between the Juukenbo club and Mitsoumi Takayanagi, who had murdered Maya Natsume’s older brother, Shin Natsume, three years earlier.
Shin Natsume’s story
The story of Shin Natsume, Maya’s brother, is told as a 6-episode flashback as Maya tries to explain the story to the newcomers. This is to ensure that viewers and readers have a backstory to reference as both Anime and Manga frequently refer to the past.
The anime series continues until shortly before the “Imperial Arts Tournament”, which is organized by the Todo Academy and where it is also decided who will be the “President” of the school. However, the manga series continues long after this.
The manga series shows how Mitsoumi recognizes the threat of Souichiro Nagi’s power, the ability to take power from someone during battle, and then sends fighters against Souichiri. It is only during one of these fights that Souichiro discovers that he actually has this special power, but is unable to control it. Souichiro ends up in the hospital after the fight with the temporary loss of control of his left leg.
The Natsume sisters
Aya, Maya’s sister, falls in love with Souichiro during the first episode and uses her power, the ability to see the past or future or see things hundreds of miles away, spying on him. In the fifth episode, her power is shown for the first time, and it is revealed that she is probably the strongest fighter of all, although the only reason she fights is because she wants to become stronger for Souichiro.
The story in brief
In Tenjo Tenge the main characters, such as Maya and Souichiro, have “special” powers, which generally differ from one fighter to another. Later in the series it is discovered, however, that Souichiro has the ability to “take” someone’s power after fighting them, and is actually supposed to turn into a “demon” in order to defeat them.
After the Imperial Arts tournament, the Manga also follows Souhaku, Souichiro’s father, who had discovered a way to live forever and has been alive since feudal times. Souichiro is kidnapped by Souhaka and forced to fight stronger and stronger warriors to become a monster.
Tenjo Tenge, also known as Tenjou Tenge or Tenjou Tenghe, is a truly fascinating and entertaining series that plays in Japan today.
Japanese anime and manga is also one of the fastest growing forms of entertainment in the world and is available both in print and online.
