Since the Edo periods of Japan, gladiator arenas exist in certain areas. In these arenas, wealthy business owners and merchants hire gladiators to fight in unarmed combat where the winner takes all. Tokita Ouma, nicknamed "Ashura," joins these arenas and devastates his opponents. His spectacular ability to crush his enemies catches the attention of the big business owners, including the Nogi Group chairman, Nogi Hideki. (Source: MangaHelpers)

Oh, I remember reading the first chapter a few days ago. It's alright so far, but has potential to be a really good series.

For anyone that's curious, Mob Psycho 100 was about 1 million short on votes when the final results came.
