| Worst is the definitive tale about "high school fighting" which takes place in chaos-ridden Suzuran High School for Boys that has a notorious reputation of having the worst kind of students ranging from thugs to delinquents. The main character, Hana Tsukishima, a freshman at Suzuran, comes from a very distant countryside in Japan. Although gentle and warm hearted, Hana is a tough fighter who has no problem facing several opponents at one time. His ambition is to claim the "bancho" status (the head) and unify/bring order to Suzuran by defeating whomever comes in his way with the support of both his friends and upperclassmen who are drawn to his strength and character. At other times, he must fight thugs from rival schools and gangs. This series is what is traditionally called a "Yankee Manga" ("Yankee" having a different meaning and pronunciation than in English), which typically involves delinquent young men and thugs filled with action-packed fighting sequences but also presented with a lot of humor. |
