Review: TEKKEN: The Dark History of Mishima

TEKKEN: The Dark History of Mishima by Takashi Yano
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great Read

I received a copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

This was an enjoyable read. Tekken is a video game that I am a fan of, and to read a story about a video game that I grew up with in a book. I really enjoyed it. In this book, the history of Mishima and the Devil Gene is told. Jin Kazuma is the son of Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazuma, and the new leader of Mishima Zaibatsu. He possess the Devil Gene. Kazuya Mishima is the father of Jin Kazuma, and son of Heihachi Mishima, and the leader of G Corporation. The book was filled with fight sequences and was very entertaining. Each chapter had characters from the video games show up such as Nina Williams, Anna Williams, Heihachi Mishima, Lars Alexandersson, Eddy Gordo, Dr. Bosconovitch, etc. I wish that I could have read more about the relationship between Jin and his mother Jun. However, learning about the history of Mishima in a different way than the video game was great. I wish to know the history of the other characters in the series more as well. Overall, a great read.
