High & Low The Worst

In the gritty underbelly of contemporary Tokyo, “High & Low: The Worst” follows the fierce rivalry between two noted high schools, Kaze High and Oya High, as they battle for supremacy in the world of street culture, martial arts, and social status. The story centers around Haruka Kudo, a fiercely independent student whose family has fallen on hard times. Haruka’s father, a once-respected lawyer, lost everything due to a devastating scandal, leaving Haruka determined to rise above her circumstances and make a name for herself.

At Kaze High, a school known for its academic excellence, she forms an unexpected bond with the school’s toughest fighter, Shun “The Beast” Yamamoto.
