Young Riku Azami is taken in by his mother after his abusive father commits suicide, but she lives with a violent yakuza member. When Riku angers her intoxicated boyfriend, a life-or-death struggle erupts, and Riku kills the man in self-defense. Following this incident, former boxer and yakuza member Kyousuke Tokorozawa notices Riku's fighting potential and introduces him to boxing. Scarred by trauma from being beaten and nearly killed, Riku hardens his resolve to fight. Despite his aloof personality, Riku finds many things worth fighting for—including his caring childhood friend, Yuki Naeshiro. Years later, after training at the renowned Baba Boxing Gym, Riku discovers an innate drive to reach the top. Now a professional boxer at age 18, Riku is determined to win the prestigious Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation belt and become a boxing champion.
