Can a “loser” at the bottom rung of his school’s social ladder turn around by livestreaming himself fighting?
Viewers, give me strength… and money.
Kota Shimura, a high school student driven to despair by bullying and poverty, is inspired by a chance event to choose the unconventional and morally questionable path of making money by livestreaming fights online. A total amateur when it comes to fighting, Shimura trains with the assistance of mysterious instructional videos, and with the help of his friends Aki Yashio and Kanegon, he confronts one foe after another powered by his smartphone.
Why did these kids stake their comebacks in life on fighting for online viewers? Will the fighting lead to money, fame, or something else entirely?
