Synopsis

Joe Yuki, one of the coolest DJs in Shibuya, has a secret identity as the leader of gangs. Because of his traumatic childhood, he fiercely hates "weaklings" and sees winning as his only option in life. One night, an old man is being taunted by the kid known as "the human punching bag." The old man reminds Joe of his parents and childhood, and he uncontrollably challenges the kid to a fight. A fight in which he's defeated, and his pride is utterly shattered into pieces.

I have different tastes when it comes to anime, so I might like certain things that others would not.

Here, I rate this anime series a 9/10. I am surprised it only had six episodes. I guess if there was more, maybe it would have been better. But, it would have been cancelled if that ...

Mixed Feelings
There's better boxing series out there & sadly this may earn itself a bronze.

While the boxing certainly helps play a part in the story it never becomes great or inspiring like Hajime No Ippo or Ashita No Joe. It certainly ...
