In the Kanto Plain of Japan, high schools in the area are little more than fronts for what appear to be nothing more than gangs who all wear a strange earring. Within these schools, students fight to be the top-rated fighters in order to represent their school at the very unofficial Great Fighter's Tournament. However, what appears to be nothing more than thugs fighting street battles is in reality ancient Chinese history coming back to replay itself in modern times with students having names of various warriors from that time.

Sakigake! Cromartie Koukou
Buy Sixteen year old Kamiyama Takashi thought he was lucky to become enrolled at Cromartie High School, until he discovered that it is in fact an "olympic for delinquents". Though he can only claim to have done one seriously bad thing in his life (read the manga!), the very sight of a student who dares to come to school without behaving as a typical delinquent leads the others to jump to the conclusion that he must in fact be the toughest punk ever. After his first day at Cromartie High, meeting the wide variety of "school badasses", Takashi can only say "This school has too many weird things. I won't be surprised to see anything else".
