Steel Fist Riku (拳鋼少女リク Kenkō Shōjo Riku) is a martial arts manga written and illustrated by Jyutaroh Nishino. CMX has released an English version of the manga in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Plot

Steel Fist Riku is set in a world where humans co-exist with half-human animals but otherwise is similar to the real world. A small village where Iwao Rokuhara, once a promising fighter, works in a movie photo store with an orphan girl which he took in and gave the name Riku, making her his pupil and (more or less) adopted daughter. Riku was born with the ability to make her left fist become steel.
