Ah for fuck's sake I missed the other thread in the catalog but whatever, better not to shit it up.

>>142650881
I read crows a bit and I thought the fights were all sort of samey and boring. Is there any delinquent stuff that has fights a bit more technical or interesting?

I have read Holyland but I dont know if that actually counts.

I'm here reading this stuff, OP.

Also whatever happened to the Rokudenashi Blues scanlation effort?

>>142651574
If you mean fights that are realistic then I'm not sure. Maybe some of Rokudenashi Blues since it is all boxing and a small bit of wrestling but it isn't as 'realistic' as Holyland is. Clover is a Crows clone but the fights are a little better I think, some of the characters have more distinct fighting styles.

In terms of being technical I'm not sure if anything goes into the same detail as Holyland.

>>142651811
I would settle for people fighting more differently from each other or just the fights being more fun to look at even if they are dumb.

Probably still happening but very, very slowly.

Speaking of RokuBlues, delinquent anon also scanlared a chapter of Beshari Gurashi, Masanori Morita's manga after RB and Rookies about Manzai comedy. It's actually not bad, the art is astounding, Morita really is a special talent.

If you ever want a delinquent series that goes full retard with its fights but are very unique then Sakigake Otokojuku is for you. But they are all fun shounen battle manga tier fights, don't expect any sort of reasonable fist fights in it.

Worst had a bit more variety in fights than Crows but only a little.

End of the chapter 1 (fuck me I'm going to be doing this for ages at this rate).

One of the many reasons I really like Kiku is because the MC isn't very typical as far as yankii manga go. You can imagine a guy his age being that way. Yet for example with someone like Takashi Kase from Bakuon Rettou it feels more forced and less natural than it does with Kiku. For me anyway.

This dude is super butthurt about something.

>>142652854
Never read that other manga but Kiku certainly is well caracterized. That anger he has, which is really just an outlet for his pain that people around him despise him makes it very easy to empathize with him. Moreover the more he lets it out the more people despise him. It's depressingly similar to the real life viciuos cycle delinquents go through irl.

Angel Densetsu is one of my favourites. Bakuon Rettou will soon enough be completely scanlated, guaranteed. If you like battle shounen then Otokojuku and Hareluya II Boy. Shibatora is completed and is technically about the police but has delinquents through. GTO might count as well I guess.

Time for chapter 3.

>>142653498
For me, most delinquent manga are stories of very close friendship. Although characters might deny it, the bonds they have with their comrades are often the most important things in their lives and that's nice to see in this cynical modern age. Not to mention they are usually in a period of their lives where they don't worry about the sort of things that an adult has to deal with, everything seems so simple from their eyes.

Also personally they remind me of my schooldays. Objectively speaking my life is now better than it was back then what with work, more opportunities and everything, but I think like a lot of people I would trade it all in to go back to those days when nothing mattered. It's immature but whatever.

It appears the shameless marketing has worked. Essentially yes, artwork is fucking amazing, as you can tell from the OP pic. It's not always massively depressing but there are a lot of very depressing moments. It's like as if the worst shit that can really happen to people has al happened at once to one guy.

When I first read Worst I thought it was a bit better than Crows, on re-reading both I changed my mind.

QP is good as well but I prefer the setting of Crows.

It's probably a stretch to say Kiku works on the level of social commentary like something like Ashita no Joe (since nothing in manga does like AnJ), but he brings up some good points which are still relevant 24 years on.

A lot of Worst is good, in particular the fights. But on the whole I prefer some of the characters from Crows more than in Worst. In particular I didn't really like anyone from the 5th or the 7th generation of TFOA (Tesshou was absolutely based though). I think the art was better in Crows, it's more polished in Worst like you said, but it gives a more gritty vibe in Crows, especially in the middle parts.

It doesn't feel unnatural either way for me, I read Kiku very long ago but he's basically just an introvert and asocial dude, that doesn't really explain very well his reason to be a delinquent or the way he is, sure he's lonely but why violent? While with Takashi you can see how he just learns everything from everyone else and it's extremely easily influenced by others and wants to be "cool" just like them. After that's all a snow ball effect of the worst kind. His parents were technically right on moving out and taking him away from his delinquent friends, just unlucky he ended up in a worst place.

Delinquency is all about having balls and bravado, that's what Takashi has, he's not actually strong, but he's fucking crazy and will do anything.

It depends, can't explain why I like it myself really but there can be many reasons because delinquent manga can be vary varied.

One one hand it can simply be because it's all comedy SoL but with dudes fighting (for the crowd that doesn't like the moe SoL with cute shit)

Along that many people can identify with their highschool days of just hanging around having fun with friends even if not being actual delinquents or anything, just goofy brotherhood type thing.

Another possibility is just "escapism"? The term I'm looking for is not coming to me right now but like that wish of going back to highschool and the thought of missing out on being way more goofy, hanging out with friends more and just being a bit more reckless. I sure wish I could've done that.

For me it's definitely the last reason you listed. I was an unathletic nerd with few friends in high school. It's my dream to relive it 500% goofier and more manly.

After reading the thread I realized Kiku deserved a better spot on the delinquent chart, that being said, I'm sorry I haven't emailed you MoritaRokuBro anon, the chart is technically completed, I just really dislike the "dimension" of the file I decided to work with, it's too damn big, like 5000x3000 and the images are way too big so unlike a normal chart you have to scroll way too much vertically and horizontally to read it all, it's just annoying to read, I don't know how to rework it because of the way its designed or if it's even worth it and it would be a shit ton of work. I'll email it to you right now if you're on at the moment.

You still planning on doing OUT? Cleans gotta be out there and ready, would only need typesetting I think.

If the guy's name is Kiku does that mean he's one of those characters from Worst/Crows?

>>142669692
I am right now yeah.

Blue hearts are awesome. Was punk rock actually the sound delinquents of the era were into? Tbh I feel like they'd gravitate towards rock or oi

Loved this manga. This is my favorite page. Thanks for reminding me about it OP

>>142654215
>Also personally they remind me of my schooldays. Objectively speaking my life is now better than it was back then what with work, more opportunities and everything, but I think like a lot of people I would trade it all in to go back to those days when nothing mattered. It's immature but whatever.
No doubt. Highschool was probably one of the best times of my life. Getting to hang out with your friends everyday, shooting the shit, going to the rare house parties and getting lit.
These days we still hang out because we're in the same city still but we have jobs and shit that ties us down.

Though it's going back uphill now because everybody is moving back to our old suburb.

I didn't really have any interest in delinquent manga. Was looking for a baiku waifu thread and saw the BR page thinking maybe it'd be worth a look for some bosozoku fun. Kiku is fucking awesome. Thanks OP. Even though I meant to go to bed an hour ago. Motherfucker.
