SCRAMPER

Synopsis

This is a compiled volume of a web manga about two boys who grow closer through oral piercings. Susuki Shu, a delinquent who believes pain tolerance makes him tough, gets a cartilage piercing to impress girls. However, his classmate Tsukimi Hiro has an even more intimidating oral piercing. Impressed by Hiro’s edgy look despite his quiet demeanor, Shu asks him to pierce his mouth too. This is a bromance story that hasn’t yet crossed into BL territory. The 92-page volume includes 12 pages of new material depicting the characters’ coming-of-age ceremony after high school graduation. Hiro is a seemingly well-behaved honor student who secretly has a rebellious side and keeps a pet snake. Shu is a tough guy who idolizes pain tolerance but finds his perspective shifting when he learns about Hiro’s piercing.
