  Worst v1 Review - manga reviews, manga news, manga information, manga comics, manga webcomics, manga artists, Dark ...
Now, I’m not a huge manga freak or anything, but I’ve read my fair share, and I’m reading more and more as manga becomes more readily available, and DC and Marvel do their best to bury the US comics industry.
It’s a new school year at Suzuran High, and the annual Freshman’s Battle is set to occur, in which the new students fight each other in order to see who’ll be the toughest kid in school.
Now this is the worst school in the city (hence the title), so gangs and violence are, I’m sure, more common than they could ever be at the quiet English country schools I attended, but I still found it difficult to accept that part of the book.

  Comixfan Forums - WORST #3 REVIEW
Worst is what the Japanese call a "Yankee manga", a popular genre normally dealing with high school gangs and their day-to-day affairs.
Worst's main narrative may deal with high school students and the gangs they inhabit, but the tales that are told within the pages are anything but sophomoric and cliched.
Worst is definitely a good jumping on point for people who haven't read that much manga but be warned the translations are pretty bad...

 manga vs. anime   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The manga is an name-exploitative piece of trash that has none of the charm, asthetic, or emotion of the anime (A horribly-redesigned Van charging through a group of lizardmen shouting "SUCK STEEL!" is one of the worst manga panels I have ever seen in my life).
Manga vs Anime has to be decided on a case-by-case basis...some things work as anime but not as manga, and vice versa.
Manga offers much in deepth story than anime, and due to fact anime is a 20min run per ep, they need to edit out some plots to fit the screen.

 Anime News Service Manga Review - Worst   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Digital Manga (http://www.emanga.com/) has been involved in the past in co-publication of 2 huge manga localazation efforts for North America that are Nightow's Trigun and Miura's Berserk.
Of the 2 titles, Worst is the heavier hitter in terms of being laden throughout with themes of young Japanese city style.
The fighting throughout Worst is intense and comprises much of the story as new challengers define their level of skill and toughness and fans of GTO, Grappler Baki and especially DBZ will be quite at home with the storyline.

 The Subwire | Series | Worst
Worst is a high impact gang-related title that deals with teenage boys fighting their way through high school on order to gain respect.
There is no room for deceit and underhanded tricks at the notorious High School "Suzuran." These young men follow a strict honor code when it comes to brawling, very reminiscent of the mafia in the early days.
Traditionally called a "Yankee Manga" ("Yankee" having a different meaning and pronunciation than in English) typically involves delinquent young men and thugs like "Hana Tsukishima" who is making his way through the ranks to rule over the rest at school.

 BUZZSCOPE :: Worst Vol. 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In this day and age, the main character of just about every high-profile anime, manga, and video game under the sun is a dark, moody anti-hero, an energetic but rude, unrefined thug, and/or a quiet soul with a painful past.
It's all depicted as a scary world--despite all the humor--where the strong survive and the weak cower, seeking shelter under pillars of strength.
Worst is, in this humble reviewer's opinion, the most entertaining Japanese high school brawler story--no, the most entertaining manga, period, to emerge in the last few years.

This is the second worst (Ayashi no Ceres is the worst) manga by Watase sensei (who is actually my all time favourite author), in my opinion.

First (I'll use the only Viz manga I'm reading Ceres as an example), They bring it out at a extremely high $15.95 that's problem one but as far as I know they finally resolved that issue to compete with TokyoPop so its down to $9.95.
Manga was meant to be read right-left and fliping this alters the authors original view, even if only to what could be considered a little by some.
