    Synopsis:

    Seigi is a quiet middle school student with exceptional martial arts skills and a strong sense of justice. His life takes an unexpected turn when he intervenes in a street altercation, earning him a mysterious brand – a tattoo imbued with potent power from an enigmatic old man. Suddenly, Seigi becomes the target of various factions seeking to control this newfound ability. He encounters others bearing similar markings, including a determined young woman also grappling with her powers. The series explores themes of responsibility, self-discovery, and the burden of hidden potential as Seigi learns to navigate a world far more complex than he ever imagined. His journey involves mastering his abilities while confronting those who would exploit them, forcing him to confront his own limitations and the true meaning of protecting others.
