(3) 1-3 Bushi, a Japanese schoolboy, is constantly bullied until he chances upon the magical black belt of a karate master. Thrown back through time into a feudal era of samurai and bandits, Bushi learns enough karate firsthand to defend himself against the school bully later when he returns to his own time. The story is fluid and satisfying, as are the detailed illustrations.
