Emblem Take 2

STORY

Joji Akutsu is a member of Yakuza or Japanese mafia. One day, he fights against a college student. He loses however, then he apologizes with kneeling down on the ground.
After that, he has no luck in his Yakuza life; at last, he receives an order being a hitman to kill enemy and dies on the way he runs away.
When he awakes again, he is just about during the fight against the college student, or the turning point that his loser life begins.
Joji notices that he came back through time-slip.
Although he loses the fight again, this time he successfully makes the college student apologize by threatening and blustering out using Yakuza’s status.
Setting the subject of protecting the boss (whom Joji once owed in the first life) from an assassin, he restarts his life as his second life.

COMMENT by Shun

"What if you can go back to the past with present knowledge…"
Isn’t that everybody desires?
Joji makes the desire come true on behalf of us in this comic.
A low level Yakuza member, Joji, successfully promotes using his present knowledge in Yakuza world.
It is quite exhilarating to see the guy succeeds with advantage information only he can have.
My favorite part is the scene that Joji’s team defeats Akashi-gumi at Chiba and forges ahead to Tokyo.
You often see adverse changes in that scene. Very exciting!
