Description:
Itsuki Minami is the toughest kid at Higashi Junior High School - easy on the eyes but dangerously rough when he needs to be. Plus, Itsuki lives with the mysterious and sexy Noyamano sisters, so life's never dull. But it gets downright dangerous when Itsuki leads his school to victory over some vindictive Westside punks with gangster connections. Now he stands to lose his school, his friends, and everything he cares about.

Then the Noyamano girls give him an amazing gift, one that just might help him save his school: a pair of Air Trecks. These high-tech skates are more than just supercool. They'll enable Itsuki to execute the wildest, most aggressive moves ever seen - and then bring him to a thrilling, and terrifying new world.

Story and art by Oh! Great.
