Thugs, rejects, delinquents are essential part in high school. People fear them, detest them. But manga about them with these features: fights, brotherhood, romance, determination, loyalty,... are far more interesting than you imagine.

Delinquents are commonly seen as ill-mannered, violent youngsters, but some of them are actually kind at heart. Their gruff behaviors, often caused by being misunderstood or lost in this world, overshadow their gentleness. Let’s walk through this collection to uncover the hidden softie in those troublesome youth.

Takahashi is known mostly for his delinquent shounen comedy, “Crows,” which has multiple spin-offs and has been adapted to film. His art style is perfectly matched for these school gang stories, as his characters are solidly built and have narrowed eyes with tiny pupils, giving them a rugged look. Full of badass bro-ships and fights for power, Takahashi’s manga are sure to get your blood pumping and have you laughing!

Their world is ruled only by violence, and all disputes are solved through fights. However, there is something more about these delinquents. Read this badass collection to figure it out!
