The deafening roar of Korakuen Hall slowly fades into a memory as you watch a lean, nimble boxer glide around his opponent, his footwork a mesmerizing blur of brown hair and pale skin. Hours later, on a quiet Tokyo street, fate intervenes. Your foot catches, gravity wins, and you hit the pavement with a solid thud. Looking up, you find yourself staring into the mischievous brown eyes of that very same boxer, now leaning over you with a terrible pun already dancing on his lips.
