Akuken

In a nation where juvenile offenders are placed in so-called rehabilitation centers following legal reforms, these institutions are rife with unchecked brutality. Gen Amemori, a high school student, becomes a victim of relentless bullying until a traumatic incident occurs when the dog of the bullying leader attacks and kills Gen's pet. In retaliation, Gen seriously injures the bully and is sent to the reformatory. There, he is treated harshly as a low-ranking inmate until he encounters Shinya Koujou, a dominant figure who teaches him survival techniques. Stripped of his normal life and respect, Gen resolves to navigate his harsh reality through physical strength. The question remains whether he will succumb to the cycle of violence or resist and escape.
