Synopsis
Undefeated delinquent Sousuke seeks revenge on golfer Kazumi but ends up aiming to become the "King of Golf."
In Teirin High School, you are either part of a gang or an elite sports player. Sousuke Youki, called "the predator," is an undefeated master at fighting. One morning, as he finishes up a fight, Kazumi, a prodigy amateur golf player, took a look at Sousuke, ignored him, and walked right by. Infuriated, Sousuke sets out to get revenge on Kazumi for dissing him but Sousuke's revenge takes a detour as he gets himself involved in playing golf by the thuggish golf coach. Will this delinquent break legends and become "The King of Golf?" (Source: MU)
