Summary: Kohinata Minoru is a college student at a college that is popular for its sports rather than academic orientation. Although he starts out as a gymnast alongside his friend, Nana, Minoru is bullied by the higher ranked gymnasts. One evening, a karate student at the college, Mutou Ryuuji, witnesses Minoru being bullied and comes to the rescue... but his intentions aren't to save Minoru, but to drag him into the world of karate. Minoru makes new friends and learns some of their dark pasts, including a shocking death that reveals motives for revenge.

I must say that I almost didn't continue this series because I thought the first several pages were lame but... keep at it and you'll find a gem of a manga. Things heat up later in the series and you gotta feel for Minoru during an incident with a gay martial artist... O_O; Lots of comedy, fighting, and exceptional characters.
