He left Japan as a boy who couldn't fight back-
protected by Akane Tendo when he was too weak to protect himself.
Years later, he returns with only one art to his name: boxing-a discipline refined into a counter for every martial art thrown his way. But strength was never his goal. Protection was.
Caught in the chaos of Ranma Saotome's arranged engagement to Akane, he finds himself standing in the middle of old rivalries, unwanted suitors, and martial artists who refuse to take "no" for an answer. While Ranma and Akane clash as they always have, he stays where he always meant to be-at Akane's side, facing anyone who threatens her peace.
Yet his presence changes the battlefield. Fighters take notice. Rivals shift their attention. And in a world where strength invites conflict, choosing to stand beside someone means fighting the entire world for that choice.
One art. One promise. Against everyone else.
Just say the word.
