The series was originally serialized in [[Shogakukan]]''s [[Shōnen Sundaymanga|''shōnen'' manga]] magazine ''[[Weekly Shōnen Sunday]]'' from 1970 to 1971, with its chapters collected into two ''[[tankōbon]]'' volumes. ''Shōnen Sunday'' was once specified as "harmful" in some prefectures when the series has started, because of its violent and drastic depiction.<ref>{{jain iconlang|ja}} [https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/p-et-tp0-20081203-436023.html article from nikkansports.com {{nihongo2|松ケン今度は「銭ゲバ」個性的キャラ怪演}}], viewed on March 28th, 2009.</ref>

Gamagori Futaro has been poor since the day he was born. As a child his recklessly wasteful and abusive father sunk the family into debt and disappeared, leaving Futaro and his sick mother to fend for themselves. With no money to pay for medical treatment for his ailing mother she eventually died. After her death Futaro became obsessed with money and willing to do anything for it. Several years pass and Futaro finds himself working at "Mikuni Shipbuilding" where he meets the company president's daughters Midori, who was his former classmate, and her younger sister Akane, who is wheelchair-bound, and like Futaro, has a scarred face. In a plot to acquire their fathers company, Futaro begins to get close the sisters.
