The God of High School Vol. 02

The God of High School Vol. 02

Based on the manhwa / WEBTOON by Yongje Park, TGOH focuses on Mori Jin, a 17 year old high school student and martial artist who seeks to challenge himself by facing tough opponents. Mori Jin is a Taekwondo specialist who enters “The God of High School,” a fighting tournament that promises the winner anything they want.

What began as a competition to seek out the best high school fighter soon reveals itself to be part of a much greater plot that goes beyond Mori’s wildest imagination. What will he give to become a true god?

The “God of High School” tournament has begun, seeking out the greatest fighter among Korean high school students! All martial arts styles, weapons, means, and methods of attaining victory are permitted. The prize? One wish for anything desired by the winner.

Taekwondo expert Jin Mo-Ri is invited to participate in the competition. There he befriends karate specialist Han Dae-Wi and swordswoman Yu Mi-Ra, who both have entered for their own personal reasons. Mo-Ri knows that no opponent will be the same and that the matches will be the most ruthless he has ever fought in his life. But instead of being worried, this prospect excites him beyond belief.

A secret lies beneath the facade of a transparent test of combat prowess the tournament claims to be—one that has Korean political candidate Park Mu-Jin watching every fight with expectant, hungry eyes. Mo-Ri, Dae-Wi, and Mi-Ra are about to discover what it really means to become the God of High School.
