Intending to be a manga artist from his childhood days, majored in physics in college as preparation to draw science fiction works, and also to learn the technology of performance and imaging, went on to graduate school to major in image technology.
In 1993, while still enrolled, debuted in a Korean shoujo manga magazine. Since then, he gained popularity releasing a number of works and publishing books on how to draw manga targeting a wide range of reader.
In 2004 he stepped into the world of Japanese manga. His “Ultimate Space Emperor Caesar”, serialized in Monthly “Comic Gum”, was his first tankōbon in Japan.
In 2005, 9 out of Boichi’s 11 hentai one-shot serialized in Comic Aun were reunited under the volume titled “Lover in Winter”.
In 2006, he released two science fiction one-shot, “Hotel” and “Present” which, in 2008, were compiled in a volume titled Hotel along the other one-shots “It was all for the tuna”, “Stephanos” and “Diadem”.
2006 is the year of Boichi’s first serialized manga: “Sun Ken Rock” in the bi-weekly magazine Young King. This manga will also have a side-story based on Yumin in 2011 and one based on Pickaxe in 2012. 2012 will also see the serialization of “I want to feed Yumin”, another spin-off of Sun Ken Rock based on Yumin and serialized in “Monthly Young King”.
Boichi also worked on a 5 volume long manga titled Raqiya and written by Masao Yajima where he was in charge of the art and published in 2009. He also only did the art of the Brutality one-shot by Takeda Yuusuke in 2007.
In later 2011, he started the serialization of another manga titled “H.E the hunt for energy” in a new monthly magazine: Jump X. In this year, he won the Gran Guinigi prize for “It was all for the Tuna”.
To express his sentiment towards Vietnam and apologize for Korea’s action during the war, Sun Ken Rock volume 2′s royalties were donated to the humanitarian organization “Child of Viet Nam”. He asked Korean manga artists to contribute towards drawing a support page for Japan in regards to 2011′s big earthquake, and giving the royalties from the proceeding to the Red Cross. He also donated the money he planned to use to buy a new car towards helping tsunami victims.
What the heck? What just happened? The cuts into the future were too much. Also, he gives everything to Yumi? The heck... The book starts out with her and I thought he'd end up with her in the end. After everything it's sorta anticlimactic.
2 things I'm confused about:
1. Since Ken said he thought Yumi never betrayed him and he said he'll forgive her if she repented, why did he order Nami to kill all those people? He was never that sort of person to kill unreasonably. He said so himself. He only kills those that are lost souls. Yet, he was sure that Yumi never betrayed him but he still killed all those people. Like
2. What was the point of Yumi shooting ken? I'm reaaaally confused about this one. Did she really betray him to revive her clan or was she trying to 'save Ken'. Seeing as Benito was waiting right at the ocean to pick Ken up, I thought she knew he was there so she purposely shot him to get him away. If that's the case then back to my 1. point.
However, if she really did betray him, then it doesn't make sense. Why give her the rights to the businesses? Like..........
I'm so confused.
Also what was with that graveyard scene? Does it mean Ken is dead? I really could have done without that piece of information. I wanted to leave with the impression that Ken lives on as the Don of all or something. If that's the message that scene was supposed to convey, it's quite depressing to end that way.
The story of one simple man's rise as a yakuza leader. Formation of a group of odd few and their struggle for power. Then the breakdown of the group in front of greater Yakuza group leader. The story as it seems, is entering it's final arc probably.
