To save Hinata, and change the life he spent running away, hopeless part-timer Takemichi must aim for the top of Kanto’s most sinister delinquent gang!! *Source: Kodansha Comics, Vol. 1* --- **Notes:** - The original Japanese title contains the manji symbol, so it will not be removed from the title on MangaDex. - Addendum on the "Manji" for those uninformed.
