The famous Coach K is looking for one last student to train before he retires. By chance, he meets, Yu, a boy who seems to have no motivation to do anything. However, his natural abilities in the ring impresses Coach K enough that he must have Yu as his final student.

This is an interesting start. Sports manga aren’t usually my thing but I found the premise intriguing because the main character, Yu, makes me very curious. He’s just a terrifyingly blank slate, clearly talented, but appears dead inside. Another character, Injae, looks promising story wise as well, working to overcome his bullies and trying not to write of San (his bully) as just a psycho who loves to fight. I’ll wait to see what the story plans to do with these three. 3.7 out of 5.
