Hot-Blooded: I Am the King of Manji's Delinquents!

"Have you heard? Sagara Takeshi from Kyokushin got his face pinned down by a transfer student behind Soft Leaf yesterday. The guy ground his shoe into him for half a minute."

"Bullshit. Doesn't Sagara hate people touching his hair?"

"He didn't even say a word. The guy's called Kuzuryu Makoto, Manji Tatsuo's younger brother. Katori from Kyokushin beat Sagara in a coup, but then Makoto pinned him face-first into the tile with his eyes closed."

"With his eyes closed? Give me a break."

"Go ask Mitsuhashi and Ito if you don't believe me. Those two Kansai tough guys got played like fools by Makoto, even two on one. Now the Tenchi Association is back, and Tenchi Hisashi follows right behind him like a grandson. The Silver Dragon Association's debt collectors haven't dared go near Nishikicho 2-chome after dark these past few days."

"...Is this guy really a high school student?"

"A high school student? Hah. The way he looks at us, you'd think he was looking at next year's corpses."
