Added unique skills! RIP Banho-san đ
Based on the original work "Lookism." The era is the 19th century. Japan is ruled by a yakuza syndicate known as the Yamaguni-gumi. Amidst this, a rising star named Maru-Ryu Sakoda emerged, forming the Sakoda Maru-Ryu Faction in alliance with the Liberation Training Corps to rebel against the Yamaguni-gumi. In this world, there are realms one can reach by surpassing the limits of the physical body: Power, Speed, Endurance, and Technique. By weaving these together, one can use unique abilities called "Unique Skills." Furthermore, those who have accumulated experience and conviction far beyond ordinary people can reach the pinnacle of fighting known as "One's Own Path."
