Overview

High&LowШаблон:'s story began at a town that was once under the rule of a powerful organization called "Mugen". But after a fight with the one enemy they couldn't crush, the Amamiya Brothers, Mugen would suddenly break apart and become a legend of the past. Afterwards, five new gangs were formed and took control of the area; based on the initials of the five gangs that lead each territory, the town began to be known as the "S.W.O.R.D. Area".^[1]^[6]

Normally, when a street gang member comes is thrown inside one of those prisons, he would be forced to join one of them in order to protect himself within the dangerous environment. However, Jesse, later known as the "King of the Prison", creates a new gang on his own after he is imprisoned, and very soon his gang becomes the strongest of all. Jesse's gang consists only of people from the same "Little Asia Area" as himself, which ensures their unity remains strong even when "outside" of the prison.
