Worst

    (Digital Manga, 2004-2005)
™ and © 2002 Hiroshi Takahashi

Suzuran High School is the worst, a gritty playground in which big boys prove who is the toughest of them all. For new student Hana Tsukishima, Suzuran is nothing like the boarding house he attended outside the city limits. No, freaks and dangerous men populate this school, but he is willing to prove himself in this violent environment. Fistfights and macho attitude dominate Worst, which manages to somehow have a sense of humor á la the movie Fight Club and the films of Quentin Tarantino. Hiroshi Takahashi’s brass-knuckled series sold more than one million copies in Japan.
