Gokuaku no Hana, Volume 1

Synopsis As a baby, Jagi's life was spared thanks to Ryuken, with whom he lived peaceful days. But everything changed the day Raoh and Toki were taken in as candidates for the Hokuto Shinken succession. Jagi trained on his own without being admitted among the candidates, and the dreary days piled up. The arrival of a new candidate, Kenshiro, made his anger explode. It was then that he beat down a practitioner who had come to challenge the dojo. Witnessing this, Ryuken gave up his fatherly tenderness and resolved to add Jagi to the candidates. Jagi began his training as a succession candidate and received the Hokuto Rakan Geki from Ryuken. Encouraged by Anna, a young girl from a biker gang he had met in childhood, Jagi continued his efforts, but the bitter realization that Kenshiro had surpassed him drove him to flee Ryuken's household.
