A manga by Yuma ando, the first chapter opens up to two delinquents trying to extort a little boy off his money...except that little boy is a police officer...this interesting story follows police officer, Shibata Taketora. As a young 22 years old man who unfortunatley looks like a middle schooler, Taketora is passionate of saving this generation's "youth". Along with other mysteries that surround him, he fights youth crime and tries to understand the feelings of the underage criminals...

I honestly cannot give away too much since so much happens in the first few moments of the 1st chapter and the plot is nonstop. There is so much potential in this manga...The characterization is fabulous; one could honestly feel for each victim and criminal introduced. There is much comedy although there is large amounts of twists in every chapter with man dark themes involved. There is many logical arguments for those who love to think and tons of mysteries (although this isn't exactly a mystery) It is heartwarming beyond believe (I honestly was on the verge of tears at the end of the 2nd chapter....) And the art....oh my god the art....it is so meticulous...so clean. There are gorgeous background and scenery shots of the downtown, forests, classrooms, and etc...this mangaka has some seriously amazing mangakas. You know that fat assistant from Bakuman who specializes in drawing crowds, backgrounds, and etc.? Yeah this guy hired one of those guys. But that is not saying it tops the character designs...everyone is very nice design and clearly cut...I can honestly tell the faces off with relying on clothes and hair styles ( and this isn't even One Piece and it looks better).
Sigh...I just discovered this manga a few days ago and I already caught up....this is a amazing manga that simply only has a tv drama adaption, which itself is more well-known, with little love from the manga websites...which I do not understand...I rarely say this but please make this manga well known...ask your local scanlation groups to translate this !!!!
