Megalobox

“Keeping your head down and doing what you’re told is the coward’s way.” Junk Dog lives by that creed in the underground world of Megalo Box, a brutal evolution of boxing where fighters wear mechanical Gear to amplify speed and power. Though he has real talent, the illegality of his bouts leaves him trapped throwing matches under the orders of his handler, Gansaku Nanbu—until reigning champion Yuuri steps into his rundown ring disguised as an ordinary challenger. Dropped in a single round, Junk Dog is handed a clear ultimatum: earn a rematch by climbing the ranks and meeting Yuuri in his arena.

With the syndicate behind his fixed fights at his back, he enters Megalonia, a globe-spanning tournament to crown the top Megalo Boxer. Taking the name “Joe,” he starts from the bottom with only three months to qualify, forced to test himself against opponents far beyond anything he’s faced before on the road back to Yuuri.
