"Wilderness" is the first series by Baron Yoshimoto in 20 years.
The story follows two young boxers as its main characters. Shinji is a handsome, popular guy who dates many women and steadily rises to fame by winning match after match. Shigeru, on the other hand, struggles with a stutter but possesses a natural talent for fighting. Despite his potential, he can't seem to win and eventually becomes entangled with the Yakuza after saving the suicidal son of a Yakuza boss. Through their intense struggles—not only in the boxing ring, but also in their personal relationships and the dark, chaotic underworld—the reader is irresistibly drawn into the world of Baron. Despite a 20-year hiatus, Baron’s illustrations retain their striking power. They remain boldly expressive and deeply immersive, offering a uniquely modern visual style that pulls readers into the comic's universe.
