Cromartie High School

Mild mannered student Takashi Koyaman finds himself enrolled at Cromartie High, where everybody is a delinquent! Logically, therefore, he must be the toughest in his class - by the rather twisted logic that only a really tough rabbit would lie down with lions. Thus begins a story that parodies every cliche of tough-guy anime that you've ever heard of... and some you haven't!

What are the idiot delinquents of Cromartie to do? Their robot classmate Mechazawa is feeling blue. Seems his little brother keeps getting stepped on, which isn't surprising since he's the size of a tea canister.

It's not easy being a delinquent, especially if you're trying to survive the tough streets around Cromartie. There are chat room bullies with no manners, aliens abducting your friends, vicious biker gangs, and the Boss Championship: a famous cutthroat competition to determine who's the biggest badass around. Of course, when Kamiyama's running it, it's more like a game show where you have to wear a stupid hat... But it seems the biggest danger is... love!

When a school trip goes awry, Takenouchi is there to save the day, but his hostage negotiations land him in America! Meanwhile, a masked hijacker is parading around school as Takenouchi, preparing for the All-Japan Kingpin Tournament. Kamiyama will prove to be his stiffest competition, but the only boy with brains might get sidetracked when Mechazawa falls to pieces!

Takashi Kamiyama, normal high school student - completely normal, really - makes the not normal (unnormal?) decision to attend Cromartie High. It's known for having more violent thugs, prehensile mohawks, alien landings, and enrolled gorillas than any other Japanese high school.
