What’s ‘Nyuugaku Youhei’ About?

The story centers around Yu Ijin, who at just eight years old, was the sole survivor of a devastating plane crash in a foreign land. To survive the harsh environment, he spent the next ten years becoming a formidable mercenary, honing his skills in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and overall combat prowess, turning into a skilled predator.

However, life takes an unexpected turn when, a decade later, he encounters soldiers dispatched from South Korea and rediscovers his remaining family: his incredibly cute little sister, Dayun, and his kind-hearted grandfather.

Returning to his home country presents Ijin with a completely new challenge: navigating the seemingly mundane life of a typical high school student. Everything is a fresh experience for Ijin, from dealing with conniving bullies to forming new friendships. But when shadows from his dangerous past start to catch up, Ijin must draw upon his years of battlefield experience to keep his loved ones safe.

The news of the adaptation was first reported via PR Times.
