| Daigo gonna body some scrubs. |
The manga's official summary:
The story about the living legend of Fighting Games, Daigo Umehara is now in comic form!
The year is 1996. Shinya Oonuki is another gifted gamer living in the same era as Umehara. This man encounters the glamor of fighting games which leads him towards the path of obsession. This story covers the raging battles between Umehara and Nuki, two players who have carved their names into the history of fighting games!
This manga takes place in the Japanese arcade scene in 1996 and you'll see games like Street Fighter 2: Super Turbo, Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) 2, Vampire Savior (aka Darkstalkers 3), and Alpha 3. Some people will get bodied. Some will get salty. Daigo will probably beat people in video games.
