Suguro Chayamachi - Togainu no Chi Manga

In a lawless, post-apocalyptic Toshima, the area once known as Tokyo, a young man named Akira is arrested and offered a deal: take part in Igura, a deadly gang-run tournament, and he walks free. To win, he has to defeat Igura's reigning champion, the king known as Il-Re. Surviving the fighting means navigating rival gangs and shifting alliances, and Akira's path soon becomes tied up with the very people he's supposed to beat.

Togainu no Chi is a dark, violent BL manga illustrated by Suguro Chayamachi and adapted from the 2005 adult visual novel by Nitro+chiral. It was serialized in Enterbrain's Comic B's-LOG beginning in 2006. The tone is grim: the story centers on survival, loyalty, and trust under pressure, with mature themes throughout, and the artwork leans into gritty urban settings and intense fight scenes.

TOKYOPOP began publishing the English edition in January 2009, but the license was discontinued after Volume 6, while the series continued in Japan. The English run is now out of print.
