Synopsis
Haruka Sakura joins brawling Furin High to fight the strongest, rejecting heroism and teamwork.
Haruka Sakura wants nothing to do with weaklings—he's only interested in the strongest of the strong. He's just started at Furin High School, a school of degenerates known only for their brawling strength—strength they use to protect their town from anyone who wishes it ill. But Haruka's not interested in being a hero or being part of any sort of team—he just wants to fight his way to the top! (Source: Kodansha USA)
