Maruo punches his way into the monstrous world of Ayashimon yakuza with dreams of becoming a manga protagonist!
When the Enma Syndicate's chairman dies, Japan's supernatural underworld is turned on its head, leaving gangs of ayashimon poised on the brink of war. Urara, the late chairman's daughter, has plans to come out on top, and she's found an unlikely ally to help make it happen--Maruo, a human who dreams of being a manga hero. Maruo and Urara might have convinced the Todoroki Alliance to join them, but with the Enma Syndicate declaring open season on every other gang in Kabukicho, will it be enough? While Urara negotiates with the tanuki and kitsune of the Kori Hotels, Maruo must prove his worth as a manga hero by finding a way for his fists to overcome Doppo's phantasmal flames and end the monstrous ayashimon's reign of terror.Author Biography
