In this first of two volumes, Hoshina's backstory comes to light. The harsh words of his father could have hobbled Hoshina for life, but Hoshina's not your average kaiju fighter. Armed with his signature swords, he shakes free of the doubts of the past, determined to take down kaiju and make a name for himself!
