Kokou No Hito

Briefly about Kokou No Hito Manga.

From Stiletto Heels: On his first day of transferring to a new high school. A loner named Mori Buntarou, is cajoled by a classmate into climbing the school building. Despite knowing that one misstep could send him spiraling to his death. He moves forward, and upon finally reaching the top, Mori experiences a sense of fulfillment. That feeling, which seems to be telling him, “You’re alive!” gives birth to an adrenaline for rock-climbing.

At North Yokosuka High School, a new, unusual student, Mori Rebutaro. On his first day, he prefers the building’s roof to its classrooms, where he’s bombarded with questions from all sides. To get rid of annoying classmates, dashing down a rope from a ledge, Mori does the crazy thing of climbing up a chimney without a safety net and in a place where it is rather problematic even for a well-trained person.

Miyamoto’s classmate and Onishi-sensei are excited and horrified, because they are professional rock climbers, and such a capable student appears. But Mori doesn’t share their excitement and won’t accept their help. Solitary and proud, he has always tried to do everything on his own, and the challenges of climbing don’t scare him. He plans to climb peak after peak, going higher and higher each time.
