and Kouga may come from very different walks of life, but both boys are
searching for the real meaning of justice and what it means to be a
hero! Jin may be poor, but he lives a happy life with his grandfather,
until the day tragedy strikes and changes his life forever. Kouga, born
into a wealthy family, is in line to inherit his family’s power and
fortune. But what is true strength? What does it really mean to be
human? Jin and Kouga’s fates intertwine in their struggle to harness the
power that lies within each of them!
