The appeal and premise of the series

Satoru Nii's manga chronicles the adventures of Haruka Sakura, a teenager who has just entered his new school and has only one goal, which has nothing to do with romance, sports, or any activity a regular kid might be interested in. He simply wants to find out who is the strongest of this school and fight him to prove his worth, which becomes one of the biggest plot points in the story.

Thus, naturally, there is a lot of fighting and gangs in this series, which has prompted many fans to compare it to Tokyo Revengers. Haruka ends up being a very charismatic protagonist and discovers that his fists are not going to be enough to solve all the problems in this manga.
