Worst is the definitive tale about "high schoolfighting" which takes place in chaos-ridden Suzuran High School for Boys thathas a notorious reputation of having the worst kind of students ranging fromthugs to delinquents. The main character, Hana Tsukishima, a freshman atSuzuran, comes from a very distant countryside in Japan. Although gentle andwarm hearted, Hana is a tough fighter who has no problem facing severalopponents 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 thesupport of both his friends and upperclassmen who are drawn to his strength andcharacter. At other times, he must fight thugs from rival schools andgangs. This series is what is traditionally called a "Yankee Manga" ("Yankee"having a different meaning and pronunciation than in English), which typicallyinvolves delinquent young men and thugs filled with action-packed fightingsequences but also presented with a lot of humor.
