Young boxers chasing the same dream gather from all over the country, each sharpening their fangs to make their mark.

But standing in his way are formidable rivals, each defined by outstanding power, speed, or technique. With gym mates Aoki and Kimura also in the field, the road to the Rookie King crown, each fighter carrying his own dream, finally begins in earnest.
