Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa (最強伝説黒沢 The Legend Of The Strongest Man Kurosawa) is a manga series by Nobuyuki Fukumoto, with a combination of focus on comedy, and themes based on life, or other philosophical ideas. It was published by Shogakukan in Big Comic Original, starting December 2002, and ending in September 2006, with a total of 11 volumes and 90 chapters.
Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa was not intended to finish on it's 90th chapter, with Fukumoto planning to put the series on hiatus (his estimation being 3 months at the earliest until it would resume) while the series was at a good halting point. The editorial department however made the decision to end the series. In 2013, the series was continued with Shin Kurosawa - Saikyou Densetsu.
Plot[]
A 44 year old Kurosawa works at a construction company. He is single, friendless, and unrespected, forced to spend his days drinking, only able to tell a traffic control robot his woes.
