Plot Summary

The self-proclamed outgoing and zany Holy Emperor Souther futilely attempts to befriend Kenshiro and his posse, especially the former. Souther is frequently put in comedic scenarios or recreates famous scenes from the original manga along with the other members of the Nanto Rokuseiken, who have formed a music group called the Nanto de Gomen (南斗 DE 5MEN).

It features several recurring gags, such as Rem, who has been renamed "Turban Brat" by Souther, repeatedly stabbing him in the leg when ascending the Holy Emperor Cross Mausoleum, or him and Rei switching roles in their most important scenes.

Each volume also contains a short Hokuto Gaiden story by that expands on a certain character who wasn't expanded upon before.
