What it is about

A seventeen-year-old boy with a white belt enters a karate tournament and shakes the foundations of Japan’s martial arts scene. As he effortlessly defeats his opponents, the world’s top fighters are left to ask: just who is this bizarrely strong young man, and what is he trying to achieve? (Source: Kodama)
