Description:
Nagai Jinsei, aka "Bare-Knuckles Jinsei". Born in a dumpster, raised in an orphanage, living as a yakuza, he is tough enough that he fights all his fights bare-handed, and is covered with countless knife and bullet scars from his battles. But his life changes when he saves the five-year-old Ayumi, daughter of the new police chief, Enjoji Masayoshi, and befriends their family. For the first time in his life, Jinsei feels like he's found a family of his own, and decides to start his life over, but his past and his ties to the yakuza keep getting in the way.

@xKaidoh Now it's correctly changed to Adaptation from Oton. I have read it up till vol.8 and as far as I can tell there are no references to the main cast of Tough. Either way it's an irrelevant footnote.

Technically, it's just for the Oton manga. The character doesn't appear in any of the Tough mangas. According to the text at the end of the second prequel chapter, he was a character that was just created for the Oton stories but that the public took a liking to, which is what lead to the short stories (prequel 1 & 2) and then an actual serialization.

Thanks bros.Seems it does have some relation but a minor one. Time to read this.

@Nitouryu @77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx It's not a mistake. The character of Jinsei was first introduced in Oton, a spinoff of Tough. I guess the character was interesting enough that the mangaka decided to build a full series around the character. That being said, he was in literally one chapter of the original manga I think, so you probably don't need to read the main series. Though I'm sure some of the characters will pop up at some point.

....I can't shake the impression this is basically about a really tough pedophile.

@77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx This is completely standalone. 99% sure that it's a mistake in MD.

Glad things went back in time for the main story after the prologue. It was nice, but he seemed too happy-go-stupid in that part.

Otherwise, nice and heartwarming with a good serving of badass.

Looks cool, the main series is a required read or nah for understanding this one?

I adore stories of people who have to try and live their lives doing the right thing, but as the saying goes, road to hell is paved with good intentions. The primal allure of raw emotion clashing with reason is always beautiful to me when done right, not with words but with facial expressions and actions. It is amusing to see a tough, scarred yakuza brute make a smile.
