In his youth, he dominated the amateur scene, securing four tournament victories and envisioning a promising future. However, his passion for the sport faded during university, leading him to abandon boxing entirely. Years later, tragedy strikes when his beloved wife passes away, plunging Kirisawa's life into disarray. Devoid of hope and purpose, he drifts through existence with menial part-time jobs.

A glimmer of hope appears when an old friend extends an unexpected invitation: to coach the boxing team at their former high school. Despite his initial apathy, Kirisawa accepts, stepping back into the very ring that once defined him. Surrounded by dedicated young boxers who pour their hearts into training, Kirisawa slowly begins to rediscover the spark within himself.
