Plot

[edit]

Gaku, 16 years old, has a reputation as a tough guy who attracts local delinquents and frequently gets into fights, despite his father Harumi's scolding. As a result, Gaku has little respect for Harumi, but when Harumi dies in an accident, several people attend his funeral and mourn his loss. As a tribute to his father, Gaku goes fishing, his father's favorite activity, and falls in the water. However, he is saved by his father, but as a boy his age, 22 years earlier. He finds the city is overrun by local gangs and desires to help his father end the conflicts.

Production

[edit]

After finishing his previous work Clover, Hirakawa wanted to draw another delinquent manga. He decided to have it set in the 2000s because he felt that time frame was the end of the delinquent culture in Japan.[4] Hirakawa decided to implement elements of time travel and family after watching Back to the Future, which he described as a major influence on the story.[4] Hirakawa stated he has an ending in mind and would like to make the series about 30 volumes long.[4]

Reception

[edit]

Marc Vandermeer of ActuaBD [fr] liked the story and setting. He also felt the artwork, especially the characters' faces, were very realistic.[1] Faustine Lillaz of Planete BD felt the artwork was "fluid" and filled the page well. She also liked the characters.[2] Columnists for Manga News liked the lead characters and their interactions. They also liked the use of time travel, which they felt was more subtle compared to Tokyo Revengers.[20]
