| ⚫ | Created by Masahiko Takajo and Saruwatari Tetsuya, '''Riki-Oh''' was serialized in the magazine Business Jump from 1988 to 1990 and later published in 12 volumes.

| ⚫ | It is the near future, around the 1990s most likely, in a [[Crapsack World|hellish world]]. Saiga Riki-Oh is in a privatized prison where might makes right. He soon becomes an enemy of the Four Emperors, four powerful prisoners made head guards, and the mysterious warden. The first storyline ends much the same way as the infamous [[Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky|film adaptation]] ends. |

Thus Riki-Oh's journal is full of combat where the action never ends. Bodies pile up as the super power martial artist punches and kicks through armies of freaks, robots, androids, monsters, martial artists, ferocious animals, and more! |
