Bowling King


Bowling King is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Taiwanese artist Tong Ai. It is published by Akane Shinsha and serialized in New Youth Express. The story is about a boy named Shautieh Ley and the humiliation he puts himself and his opponents through in bowling alleys.

Plot

The story begins with Shautieh Ley in high school, after his internet girlfriend breaks up with him. After he skips class with his best friend Houshin, he meets Tz'Zuhn, a high school girl, and immediately falls in love with her. They are confronted by a gang in public, due to Shautieh having angered his teacher. Shautieh challenges them to an arm wrestling match and wins, thanks to his abnormally powerful left arm, leaving unharmed.
Shautieh challenges Edgar to a bowling match and Edgar accepts. Shautieh trains by locking himself up in a room and studying recorded videos of professional bowlers from around the world, an act which makes him develop a fever. During that match, after showing off Bruce Ray and Don Carter's techniques, he shows off his photographic memory capabilities and performs Edgar's own 3-step approach.
Shautieh trains for the upcoming God's Hand Cup for his rematch against Edgar as he will be participating in it as well with a few more contenders.
