This is a pretty good martial arts manga. The last volume felt like the author fanboying about Li Shuwen, but other than that it's a great series. Highly recommended for any martial arts fan.

(I feel as if Kenji is a spiritual predecessor of History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, especcially for Tanimoto/Hermit fans.) It's strange this hasn't been read more.

 

tl:dr: It's good. Read it if you like martial arts.

I had a feeling it was a bit rushed during shaolin monk arc

Haha, Vol 4, Ch 6 mentions Jess Willard from Pottawatomi county Kansas. 

 

I'm from Pottawatomi county and have driven through "Willard, Kansas" (named for Jess Willard) too many times to count. ;-)

This is a fine manga.  The art work is so detailed background-wise and the faces and expressions are fascinating.  It makes me wonder if the late 1980s was the high-tide of manga art.  

I wish there was more.  It's always sad when you finish a great story.

Subiendo la version en español de Otaku-Central y  Some-ES-canlations :)

LOL, in chapter 8, page 7, that guys face look like bruce lee http://vatoto.com/read/_/159562/kenji_v1_ch8_by_tripledraw/7

This manga is one of my personal favorites. This series explores many aspects of chinese martial arts and other styles in which one could never be exposed to unless they were actually learning them. This series in one way can be compared to "Holyland", in the aspect that often the mechanics and biomechanics of different styles are explained in an easy and simple way that is enjoyable to the reader. I am sure this series must have been difficult to translate at times. Thank you Tripledraw and Toomin for taking the time to translate "Kenji into English. The fans, including myself, are truly thankful.
awesome manga, will read it soon again.
Phew! 7 more vols to add and then I'm done. They will be added asap when they finish uploading.
