Description:
Kei is a high-school student bullied daily and none of his fellow classmates care. Worn down by those endless humiliations, he accepts the strange proposal of his childhood friend Akira : Suicide together to end this nightmare. But that day, Kei survives and Akira doesn't.
Months later, the young man is shocked when he discovers on the net a website about street fighting. On several videos put online, a barely recognizable Akira gives a major beatdown to his opponents! What really happened? To discover the truth, Kei has only one solution: registering on that site and go from fight to fight to find the truth about Akira...

Personal Opinion:
At first glance i was very hesitant to pick this one up and read it due to the description involving suicide but i do enjoy martial arts so i gave it a chance, slowly the characters and story grew on me, While the ending was not as great as i would have wanted it to be it still was very satisfactory. I'm just glad they didn't milk it like some do, regardless it's a good one.
