Shinya Kinoshita meets Takumi Yanagiya by chance. Little does he know that his new friend is the 6-time elementary school national champion in karate. Takumi Yanagiya will soon introduce his friend to karate, and life is going to change for both of them!

Karate Heat is a charming, interesting comic about Karate, friendship and goals. Wonderfully illustrated, it depicts the struggles of a boy to try hard for what he wants to achieve, and a strong friendship between two children. It is funny, moving and sweet. Definitely recommended for children.
