Holyland is a legendary psychological martial arts seinen manga that delves into the dark heart of street violence and the desperate search for a place to belong. Yuu is a tormented high school kid who doesn't fit in anywhere not at school or in society. When he is pushed to the edge, he discovers a raw, animalistic talent for throwing a perfect one-strike punch in the dark alleys of his city. This single skill becomes his passport to the Holyland, the lawless nighttime streets where he finally feels a sense of presence. But this kingdom comes at a brutal cost, as more skilled and vicious predators soon set their sights on him. Based partly on the author's own experiences, the manga is a raw, almost documentary-like analysis of martial arts technique, the psychology of bullying, and the thin line between a saint and a monster in the urban jungle. It's a cult-classic highly recommended for fans of Tokyo Ghoul's internal struggle and the visceral, grounded combat of Hajime no Ippo.
