Free-fighter Beck sets out to find her missing mentor in a dystopian world ruled by pharmaceutical corporations.
The future, our world... After years of health, economic and ecological crises, a global civil war breaks out, ignited by a huge pharmaceutical and political scandal denounced by the activist group C.H.A.O.S. 15 years later civilization has recovered, divided between large urban centers, under military and medical surveillance, and freer rural areas, where those who refuse this system of health control take refuge. It is in this divided world that Beck sets out in search of her mentor Kal, who has been missing for several days. This quest leads the young orphan to the town of Bajara, known, among other things, for its free-fighting competitions.

In a dystopian world ruled by pharmaceutical companies, an orphan named Beck sets off to find her missing mentor following the only lead she has: unlicensed cage fights! Fifteen years after a global civil war brought on by health, economic, and ecological crises, the world has settled into tenuous peace under a regimented civilization. The majority of the populace lives in large, sprawling urban centers under strict military and medical surveillance. The remainder lives in smaller rural areas, resisting the rigidity of the cities. A stranger to both worlds, a young girl named Beck has entered the rural town of Bajara in search of her missing mentor, Kal. The trail leads her to a free-fighting ring known as The Cage and a fight organizer named Mr. Eddy. Now, she finds herself fighting her way to the answers she seeks, each victory a step closer to Kal. But theres something special about Beck, and its grabbed the attention of local officials, as well as the underground fighters! From French mangaka Mathieu Reynes comes The Theory of K.O., a hard-hitting, high-kicking, faster-than-lightning story thats sure to be right at home on the bookshelf of any shonen manga fan.
