| Summary | From the stifling confines of rural Japan, Kingoro Tamai, a man with the spirit of a nascent dragon, flees an unwanted destiny. He finds a kindred soul in Man, a fiercely independent woman seeking her own freedom. Together, they plunge into the tumultuous world of Wakamatsu Port, a crucible of dockworkers, ruthless bosses, and shadowy power struggles. As Kingoro battles to carve out a life of integrity, his unwavering sense of justice clashes with corruption and violence at every turn. But in this unforgiving arena, will his 'dragon' spirit ascend to triumph, or will the human weaknesses and betrayals around him drag him down into the depths. |
