But, Toshima is a lawless place filled with the absolute dregs of society, where women are non-existent, and for a bishounen like Akira he will have to keep his wits about him if he is going to survive.
After being accused of a crime he didn’t commit and slapped with a lifetime prison sentence, Akira is given the chance to clear his name by participating in a deadly game called Igra (which actually means ‘Game’ in Russian… the more you know), being held in Toshima-the ruined wasteland that used to be Tokyo.īut, when you’re facing a life in prison, a post apocalyptic Battle Royale sounds like the lesser of two evils, so he heads to Toshima to participate in the game and take on Igra’s undefeated champ, Il Re. He wears leather and he’s pretty apathetic about everything and that’s about it he’s your typical angsty teen. The story follows Akira, a former child soldier and undefeated champ of underground fighting tournament (the precursor to DMMD’s Rhyme). Togainu no Chi was the first boys love title developed by Nitro+Chiral and is notable for it’s especially dark and violent premise.

In Sweet Pool the story explores the inevitability of fate and the difference between being pulled along by forces beyond your control or embracing your lot in life. Sure, their games tend to be on the darker and edgier side of things, taking readers to some less than savory places, but when it really gets down to it there is always an underlying message that serves as the lifeblood of their stories. Say what you will about Nitro+Chiral and their games, but beneath all the angst, leather, and dubious consent are some pretty introspective stories.
