砂ぼうず
Desert Punk
The Great Kanto Desert is a miserable place. It’s also the home of hero-for-hire Desert Punk, the closest thing to a good guy the wasteland’s got. He’s known as the best man for any job, but his reputation is undone by his raging hormones when curvy Junko uses her double-D charms to double-cross him. With debt hanging over his head, Desert Punk sets out to salvage his name. (Source: Crunchyroll)
