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!

Poor Kamiyama! Somehow, he has been enrolled in Cromartie High School, the infamous school for delinquents. When your classmates are the meanest, toughest (and often dumbest) students around, you do what you can to fit in. But when you add a 400-pound gorilla, a robot with an attitude, and a macho brute that bears a striking resemblance to a world famous celebrity, it makes blending much more difficult.

Teen life is tough, and high school life is even tougher. But if you're one of the delinquents sent to Cromartie, it's... Well, put it this way: it ain't The O.C. So pack your bags, put on your best tough-guy swagger, and get a lesson in insanity from the losers, bruisers, and thugs at Cromartie High.

Takashi Kamiyama is an average student who made the decision to attend a not-so-average school. Cromartie High is home to thugs and bullies, the undereducated and underachieving... and of course, a foul-mouthed robot suffering from denial!

Hayashida awakens in the Empire of the Apes and learns that he's the savior prophesied in the Ancient Text. To achieve his destiny, he must venture to Mount Poplokis to retrieve the sacred Sword of Lightning. Then he must use it to defeat he sworn enemy, the dreaded That Guy.

This is a very special edition of Cromartie High School. Sure, you could judge it by the two robots and the recurring pink heart motif on the cover, but then you'd be missing out on all the fear and intrigue this volume has to offer. Things like shadowy teachers, the inner workings of mechanical pencils, and the gorilla getting a going-away party.

Summer has descended upon Cromartie High, and the students are lining up to take off their clothes... to join the school sumo club. Masked Takenouchi becomes the club's rising star, and the Four Great Ones (all five of them!) find themselves impromptu goodwill ambassadors, explaining the finer points of loincloths to a series of foreign guests. You know you're curious.

All hell is breaking loose in the halls of Cromartie High, and Takashi is just enjoying the ride! The robot Mechazawa has been sold as a kitchen appliance, and muscle-bound Freddie is now in the custody of aliens.

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!

The real Takenouchi has finally made it back to Japan, but his stomach-turning travels have just begun! It's time for the Cromartie school trip, and armed with a plastic bag, he's determined to conquer his most fearsome rival yet - the bullet train! But a lesson in geography could lose him the battle when this crazy train hits high speeds.
