Punch! Vol. 01

Her mother was a wrestling champion, her father a lightweight world boxing champion, her grandfather the first Japanese to become the world champion of Muay Thai kick boxing – but high school girl Elle doesn’t want to fight! She just wants a normal life, but is it possible with such a violent family history?

Though Elle wants nothing to do with fighting, her grandfather has different ideas and betrothes her to an up-and-coming boxer from his own gym. She hates the idea and doesn’t want to marry him. One day she meets a handsome street brawler who intrigues her, but her jealous fiance finds out and goes after the guy! What will happen when a trained boxer goes a couple rounds with a scrappy street fighter?
