Toki-Kun is a character who is trying to change his behavior, stop fighting, and learn more about himself.

Synopsis
Toki-Kun is a yankee who often gets into fights. But despite his appearance, he is actually a gentle guy. He gains favor with Mr. Sahara, who is not only a physical education teacher but his homeroom teacher. The story is a romantic comedy filled with conflicts between two contrasting personalities, and it keeps our hearts pounding!
Every day, Toki thinks about how he gets into fights and gets scolded over and over again. His first impression of Sahara was that he was a weird guy. A second-year student, Toki states he does not like being the center of attention despite him being that. The reason Toki has been coming to school is that he wants to see Sahara, whom he has noted is very pretty. Having been observing him, Toki wants to know more about him. Resolving to be good and go to school, Toki also intends to work hard at his studies and stop fighting.
Requesting that teachers entrust Toki to him, Sahara notes he was being scolded one-sidedly. Saying how fighting is bad, Sahara thinks though it is unfair to get angry with someone without hearing their reason. Pleased to greet Toki, he is then startled at seeing a wound he has. Wondering whether such wounds are medals between men, Sahara states they are not cool and Toki should treasure his body more. Then noting how these days that Toki never comes late to school, Sahara ruffles his hair as he tells him great job. Warned that Toki is violent, Sahara tells students to not just see something on the surface but also pay attention to what is inside. Pursuing Toki and catching him, Sahara says he keeps getting injured so no more fights.
