Since I heard that, I hoped that the anime would live up to its high praise.

I’ve never played the game but from what I can tell (and reading several game reviews), it’s pretty good. The game has been adapted into two manga series and a novel as well as an anime adaption and drama CDs. Togainu no Chi is a Japanese BL visual novel created by Nitro+ChHiRAL and has been published on three platforms: Windows, PS2 and PSP. The story follows Akira’s life in the harsh, lawless Toshima as he fights both to survive and to unravel the mysteries developing around him. Once arrested, a mysterious woman appears before him, offering him freedom if he agrees to participate in Igura and defeat Igura’s strongest man: the king, or ‘Il-re’. The main character, a young man named Akira, is falsely accused of a crime.

Several years after the end of the war, a crime organisation called Vischio has taken control of the destroyed city of Toshima (formerly Tokyo, Japan’s capital city), where they are holding a battle game known as ‘Igura’. Would you stake your life for your freedom?Īfter being devastated in the Third World War (known as The Third Division), Japan was divided in two.
