To many, the start of high school signals a fresh beginning. New classes and friendships lie ahead. For Souichiro Nagi and Bob Makihara, the school"s mission is far more ambitious: it offers a chance to rise as the ultimate fighters among all students. Unfortunately, Toudou Academy is the most demanding arena for that goal. This modern institution isn"t a conventional school; it was established solely to resurrect Japan"s ancient martial‑arts traditions, replacing algebra and history with rigorous combat drills and philosophy of honor.
Students train from dawn to dusk, mastering techniques passed down through generations. The academy"s motto, "Honor Above All," guides every lesson.
Consequently, Souichiro"s ambition to lead the ranks is abruptly stopped when he confronts Masataka Takayanagi and Maya Natsume. The senior pair effortlessly quell the freshman duo"s chaos, but instead of deterring them, this only ignites a fierce rivalry. Who are the formidable warriors that populate Toudou Academy? Is there anyone stronger than Masataka and Maya? And why does Maya"s younger sister relentlessly pursue Souichiro? Uncover the answers, and more, in Tenjou Tenge!
