About this book

Fierce battle competition comedy and an epic coming-of-age story--somehow Kosuke Ueki manages to remain true to himself through it all. A group of powerful beings called tenkaijin are holding a special tournament. The rules of the game--each tenkaijin selects a kid in junior high to be his champion and grants him a special power. The kids take each other on in heated battle but if they hurt innocent bystanders then they lose one of their natural-given abilities. Every time they win a battle they gain a new ability. The ultimate winner of the tournament is granted any power of his choosing and the tenkajin who he represents succeeds in becoming the next god. Kosuke Ueki has been chosen to fight in the tournament. His special power--the ability to turn garbage into trees. Ueki begins to face off against opponents in the deadly tournament but will his environmentally friendly ability hold up against more lethal powers like changing water into flames and changing towels into iron? Then Ueki discovers that theres a reward for winning the whole tournament--you get any power of your choice! But the penalties in this game could be more than he bargained for...
