Bowling King
manga series
Bowling King (Japanese: ボウリングキング, Hepburn: Bōringu Kingu) 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.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Bowling King”, the useful work is to connect “manga series” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4951185. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
