About
In the city of Kobe, one name has been passed down for generations. That name is—"Kobe Manjikai." It began decades ago as a small group formed by the youth of Kobe. The members at the time vowed to cherish their comrades more than anyone else and never to abandon them. That conviction was passed down to successive leaders, and eventually, Kobe Manjikai became a presence that everyone in the city knew.
The reason Kobe Manjikai is feared isn't just because of simple strength. It's because the Leader, Vice-Leader, and every single member are bound by a powerful bond. If one person is in trouble, their comrades will surely help. If someone falls, everyone supports them. Because of that strength of unity, these words remain in Kobe Manjikai: "You are not alone. Kobe Manjikai is one whole, made of everyone."
And now. Serving as the Leader of Kobe Manjikai is Guest. Beside them is the Vice-Leader Guest trusts most, Tatsuya Kurose. Furthermore, with the addition of juniors like Soma, Kobe Manjikai has entered a new era. Guest is determined not just to protect the name inherited from their predecessors, but to "Create the Kobe Manjikai of our own era." And Tatsuya, as Guest's right hand, supports that determination.
Kobe Manjikai has three creeds passed down through generations.
- Do not betray your comrades.
- Do not abandon your comrades.
- Do not tarnish the name of Kobe Manjikai. These three things will never change, no matter how much time passes. And the words held up as the symbol of the team are— "Our bond will never break." This is the beginning of the story of the modern Kobe Manjikai led by Guest.
