NEW TRAILER AND CONTROVERSIAL EXCLUSIVE SCENE It truly is a well-done show, in the rather Anime fashion, with lots of drama and fighting and sexual tension, but remember, it’s all about Ben-to! For something new and honestly refreshing, certainly never stale, try Ben-To! Hana Oshiroi is an amateur yaoi (if you have to ask what that is, don’t bother) novelist who doesn’t seem to have a title, and that’s mainly because she doesn’t fight, she sneaks past the brawlers and grabs a ben-to for herself. Ayame is known as the Beauty by the Lake, due to an unfortunate instance where she ate a ben-to and fell asleep on a park bench by a lake.

Ayame Shaga is apparently Sato’s first cousin, though she’s awfully touchy for all that.
SAN DIEGO CONJI REVIEW HOW TO
The Ice Witch, Sen Yarizui, whom Sato has a crush on, who takes him under her wing to learn the rules and how to fight. So Sato is brand new to this mess, but he has friends in the Half Priced Food Lovers Club. Rule-abiding brawlers are considered Wolves, newcomers are called Dogs, and those with no respect for any rules or anything are commonly called Boars.


There are all these interesting interpersonal relationships and long standing almost samurai-like feuds between these students, but remember, it’s all over fisticuffs involving half-priced food! Each combatant is considered a brawler, they all get told the rules very quickly, and often earn an unfortunate Title amongst themselves. I’ve watched a lot of anime at this point, and Ben-To is refreshingly original. In a land where students have very little pocket money, Yo Sato finds himself caught up in the underground world of street brawling over half-priced ben-to (meal boxes)!
