Synopsis

44 years old, single, working in a construction company for his entire life. All Kurosawa wants is a little respect from his co-workers. And a little popularity won't hurt. Unfortunately Kurosawa's plans fail miserably from time to time and one day, he finds himself right in the middle of a fight against...delinquent middle schoolers?

The series was published digitally in English as The Legend of the Strongest, Kurosawa! by Fukumoto Production/Highstone Inc. from October 28, 2017, to December 18, 2017.

Kurosawa is the good ending to all those characters that start ...

STORY: 4

Kurokawa is an average worker who feels he has not accomplished anything in his life. He is grumpy, awkward, envious and shy.

That is, until the moment he gets to use violence!

The whole story supports the character's new-found use of violence to 'take your fate into your own hands' and celebrates his 'putting your life on the line' to the point of kitsch.
The story ...
