At age sixteen, Ryo Narushima was an outstanding student on track for entry into Tokyo University and a life among the privileged class. But during that summer, Ryo suffered a mental collapse.

Background

In 2004 the series moved from Manga Action to Evening, resetting the chapter count starting at volume 20. It was discontinued in 2007 due to authors creative differences but returned in 2011. Starting from volume 26, the first volume from when the series returned from a long hiatus, the series has been completely written and drawn by Akio Tanaka. While Izou Hashimoto did write the series in the beginning, he had been doing less and less work starting from volume 4. Tanaka and Hashimoto reached a settlement and Shamo continued. The series' first thirteen volumes were published in Spanish by Otakuland between 2003 and 2005.
