Ben-To

Midnight discounts turn a grocery store into a battlefield where hungry teens fight for half‑price bento.

When the clock strikes midnight, the local supermarket transforms into a battlefield where half‑price bento boxes become coveted trophies. High‑schooler Yō Satō, fresh from a mundane life, stumbles into this chaotic arena and quickly learns that the aisles are divided between “Wolves”—the ruthless veterans who fight for the best deals—and “Dogs,” the hapless newcomers scrambling for scraps. Rather than flee, Yō is drawn into the fray, eager to prove his worth and secure a dinner he can actually afford. Enter Sen Yarizui, a senior with a reputation for turning every discount into a duel, and Hana Ōshiroi, a self‑appointed commentator who treats each skirmish like a sport. They recruit Yō into the Half‑Priced Food Lovers Club, a loose‑cannon crew that teaches him the unspoken etiquette of supermarket warfare: timing, tactics, and the art of snatching a bento before the next wave of combatants. As the trio navigates increasingly absurd confrontations—ranging from noodle‑slinging showdowns to full‑blown bento brawls—they discover that the true prize isn’t the discounted meal, but the camaraderie forged in the heat of competition. Amid the slap‑stick chaos and over‑the‑top fight choreography, Ben‑To serves up a satirical look at consumer culture, friendship, and the lengths we’ll go for a cheap lunch.

Ben-To is a comedic action series where high school students engage in over-the-top martial arts battles for half-priced bento boxes. The violence is cartoonish and consequence-free, but the show includes notable fan service and sexual humor that may be inappropriate for younger teens.
