Ben-To

In a world where economic hardship has made half-priced bento a battleground, a young man named Satou You finds himself drawn into a nightly war. What begins as a simple quest for an affordable meal quickly escalates into a brutal, no-holds-barred fight for survival against a colorful cast of eccentric and fiercely competitive individuals, all vying for the same discounted delicacies. As Satou stumbles into the underground world of "Wolves" and "Dogs," he must quickly learn the unspoken rules of engagement and master the art of the bento brawl if he hopes to eat. With alliances forged and rivalries ignited over a single supermarket discount, this high-stakes culinary combat proves that even the most mundane of desires can lead to extraordinary — and surprisingly violent — adventures.
