Killing Bites

College student Yuya Nomoto witnesses an encounter that overturns his understanding of the world: Hitomi transforms into a fighter with animal strength and faces a lionlike opponent. She belongs to a hidden class of combatants combining human intelligence with the abilities of beasts.

Four financial conglomerates use these fighters to settle their struggles for power through secret matches. Drawn into Hitomi's life and her honey-badger ferocity, Nomoto enters a contest whose violence and political stakes are far beyond his experience.
