Viral hit
Overview
Kota Shimura is a bullied high school student carrying his mother's medical bills and daily abuse from the kids at school. Life could not be much bleaker.
He is at the bottom of the social order, and the delinquents above him make sure he knows it. He takes it the way people do when there is no obvious way out. Every day, without any relief.
Then one fight changes everything. He gets into a brawl with a classmate, and it is accidentally broadcast live. The buildup to the fight is very enthusiastic and silly, making the combination superhit. Kota sees it for what it is. This is a money-making business as Kota is eager to initiate a video stream to broadcast those fights.
