I think most people don't know how I got into the world of professional wrestling and what kind of efforts I have made. There are many painful experiences of sweat and tears in it. Even so, I dared to make my half-life into a cartoon because I wanted as many fans as possible to know that there was a tough life battle behind the spectacular battle on the mat. If this manga encourages young people to live in the future, there is no better joy than this. (A part of Baba's words, excerpted from the work) Baba turned into a professional wrestler due to an injury. However, what awaits him to confront the ring crowded with powerful players ... A non-fiction comic depicting the half-life of the national hero, Giant Baba!
