On April 10, the anime made its debut on Fuji TV’s Ultra+ programming block under the Japanese name of the webtoon, Kenka Dokugaku. Both the Japanese and English dubs of the anime are available for watching on Crunchyroll.
November 2019 saw the Korean webtoon debut. As of March 5, Webtoon had published 207 chapters of the English series since it started releasing it in October 2020.
The webtoon is available on the LINE Manga app in Japan.
Webtoon describes the story:
Scrawny high school student Hobin Yu is probably the last guy you’d expect to star in a NewTube channel that revolves around fighting.
But after following some advice from a mysterious NewTube channel, Hobin is soon knocking out guys stronger than him and raking in more money than he could have ever dreamed of.
Can Hobin keep this up, or will he eventually meet his match?
