Ben-To

Synopsis: The supermarket is an important building in any city as they provide a convenient way to buy a variety of foods in a safe and familiar environment. However, these stores change the blink of an eye, as the non-sold Benedict boxes go to their night-off night sales! The war begins and friends become enemies when each person fights for honor, pride and dinner. There are no more people in these supermarkets, only wolves and dogs⁠ - candidates and losers.

The high school you shattered is painfully introduced to these battles after stumbling out of the war zone, but instead of choosing to avoid these night fights, he wants to participate. After seeing Satou's lack of fighting skills, Upperclass and Wolf Sen Yarizui invite him and Hana Oshiroi, a girl who likes to spectulate fights, to join her food lovers club at a bit price to show to them the distinction between dogs and wolves. Together they learn what it really means to fight for their food.
