Individuality and sentiment are two things that distinguish one person from the next. However, trouble and difficulty lie down the path of adversity for those decreed as a whole but born destinate to be two halves — Twins.
Meet Rei Hirojima and Kei Hirojima — two normal inseparable young boys closely connected through their admiration for one another. Brought up in Japan's countryside by their parents who have no other family, Kei has a closer connection to his mother whilst Rei to his father.
Crime is on the rise. But on one fateful day, they lose their parents and home at the hands of a gang, seeking to steal all the wealthy possessions of the Hirojima family. This is a true test of nature against nurture as the boys walk down different paths, voracious in inflicting revenge against the assailants who took everything away from them; One enacting justice embodying the gavel, the other defiant of the law culling with his justice: his fists.

Why X = Y? Men have a pair of chromosomes labelled XY. As the story revolves around male twins, they are the same — they are equivalent to each other in terms of the DNA they share — yet they are two completely different people who gradually develop their personality, and through it, they gain individuality.
Feel free to scrutinise and critique. I'll take it to heart, and it'll rip a whole but that's fine. :]
The first 19 chapters up to the end of "Chapter 19: Regret is Loss Irreplaceable" can be seen as the prologue. I wanted to do a time skip initially, but I also wanted it to feel full in a sense, so I wrote it out.
Chapters 1-19 focus primarily on two themes: Psychological and Martial Arts. Chapters after that focus more on Psychological, Police and Crime. Both parts have elements of Action and Mystery, more so in the latter half.
