Publisher's Synopsis
The first three volumes of the new light novel series Tokyo Lightning are now available in one complete package. Tokyo Lightning Volume 1: Chained Lightning Jin Takayama is just your average high school student, at least he wishes he was. During his final year of middle school Jin found himself outcast by others after winning the International Karate Championship. Terrified of his vicious "one-shot," the move that won Jin the tournament, the other students began to avoid Jin like the plague. With only one friend left Jin soon turned to the streets and one of Japan's most notorious middle school gangs for friendship. It wasn't long before he found himself implicated in a string of crimes across Japan. Now, in lieu of jail time, the Judge has sentenced him to attend Sakura High, Japan's most prestigious academy. Under the watchful eye of Miss Lucia Yamamoto, Jin will have to learn school life all over again if he ever hopes to survive even one day at this school. However, all is not well at Sakura High. Beneath the guise of a perfect school, gangs await their moment to strike. What will Jin do when he is threatened by the very forces that got him into his predicament in the first place? Will he rejoin the gangs, or will he lead the students of Sakura High to a new era of peace? Tokyo Lightning Volume 2: Z-No More After the electric conclusion to Volume One, Jin Takayama is faced with his greatest challenge yet. He must survive a no-holds barred trip to the beach with the Student Council and members of the popular all-girls band, Strike Love. Working on a tip from a fellow delinquent, Jin tracks the source of the attacks on the Student Council room. What he discovers will prove that his enemies are closer than he could ever imagine. Zavier Mathematics, A.K.A. "Z" has been in love with Yuki Sonata ever since he can remember. Now, after learning of her shocking secret, Zavier is struggling with his own feelings of self-doubt. After an intense confrontation, their relationship may be scarred forever. After a day of wet, wild fun at the beach, Zavier's arch nemesis arrives unexpectedly with an offer that could change the fate of Sakura High forever. Will Zavier be up to the challenge? Will Jin survive babes, bikinis, and beach volleyball all the while keeping his new identity hidden from his closest friends? Or will things get too hot to handle for our heroes? Find out in Tokyo Lightning Volume 2: Z-No More!!! Tokyo Lightning Volume 3: Sacrifice "You're on!" With those defining words, the battle lines are drawn and things are heating up in Tokyo Lightning Volume 3, Sacrifice. Zavier Mathematics, the World's Largest Otaku, has accepted the challenge from resident rich boy, Kiba Kohara. Not only is the coveted Sakura High Championship on the line, but if Zavier loses, he will never be allowed to attend Sakura High Academy again. That isn't the worst thing, though. Kiba ups the stakes and says that if Zavier loses, he has to walk Yuki Sonata down the aisle at their wedding. Talk about serious business. Meanwhile, Jin Takayama has his own troubles to deal with. If preparing for the school festival wasn't stressful enough, now, Lucy has a new task for him: orientate the new transfer student. This probably wouldn't be that difficult if the new student wasn't a girl and living one apartment down from him and really pretty and a whole list of other extremely desirable traits that Jin can't seem to stop thinking about. Now, with the match of a lifetime looming and Zavier's own relationship blossoming into more than he may be ready for, love is in the air and heartbreak may be just around the corner. With everything he's fought so hard for at stake, will Zavier find the courage to make the ultimate sacrifice for those he has come to call his friends? Includes: Tokyo Lightning: Volumes 1-3
