Synopsis

"I don't know what this feeling is … I don't know what I should do now … all I know is, I want him."<br /> <br /> They fight one another, they chase after one another, they capture one another—a turbulent tale of preteens on the brink of self-destruction, masterfully brought to life by George Asakura!<br /> <br /> (Source: Kodansha USA)
