Cromartie High School, Vol. 03

I finally reached the chapter where Mechazawa is reassembled as a motorcycle!!! This part is truly exciting. The detailed description of the reassembly process makes it come alive in my mind. I can vividly picture the various parts being put together, the sparks flying, and the anticipation building up. It's as if I'm right there in the workshop, witnessing the transformation. The author has done an excellent job of creating a sense of excitement and wonder. I can't wait to see what adventures Mechazawa will have in its new form as a motorcycle. Will it be faster, stronger, and more capable of taking on new challenges? Only time will tell, but for now, I'm thoroughly enjoying this part of the story.

Cromartie High School by Eiji Nonaka is a truly unique comedy manga. The story follows Kamiyama, a high school first-year who decides to attend Cromartie High to stay with his delinquent friend after junior high. However, his friend fails to get into the school despite its reputation for being easy to enter. The school is filled with delinquents, including a robot named Mechazawa, a gorilla, and Freddie, a mute who looks remarkably like Freddie Mercury.

The manga and its anime adaptation are both insane, which often makes them brilliant and hilarious. However, sometimes the lack of a real plot can make the scenes disorienting and hard to follow. Despite this, both versions of the series are highly entertaining. Cromartie High is the place where the dumbest and toughest youths in the area gather, and they spend their days obsessing over status and having the coolest nicknames. Alongside the thugs and gang members, the school is also home to some very strange students.

If you're looking for a manga or anime with a complex plot, Cromartie High School may not be for you. But if you just want to have a good laugh, this series is a great choice. For more manga and anime reviews, be sure to check out Hobotaku.

Overall Rating: Manga - B? / Anime - A-

Takashi Kamiyama is a gentle and mild-mannered individual with a strong desire to be a good student. However, due to certain reasons, he ends up enrolled at Cromartie High School, which is a haven for delinquents and troublemakers. The other students at Cromartie High School look like a tough and intimidating bunch. It's difficult to believe that most of them are actually teenagers, especially the guy who looks exactly like Freddie Mercury. But surprisingly, fighting isn't their main activity. Instead, they engage in pointless conversations all the time.

This absurdist comedy manga is a parody of the "delinquent" subgenre of shounen manga. In this subgenre, thuggish young men break school rules, swagger around the streets, and constantly get into fights. In contrast, Cromartie High School has a very "serious" character design and artwork, except when it doesn't. The characters in this manga are at least quirky. For example, Kamiyama looks and acts in a mild-mannered way, but he can also be quite ruthless in his own way. At one point, he even becomes the "Kingpin of Japan."

This volume of the manga starts with Takenouchi, a real tough guy who suffers from severe motion sickness. He is stranded in America and has become the leader of an American gang. His right-hand man is Mr. Mercury, who looks exactly like Freddie Mercury. Mr. Mercury claims to have no knowledge of Freddie or the band Queen, but Takenouchi is starting to suspect that he is being deceived.

Back in Japan, Masked Takenouchi, a former terrorist who was mistaken for the real Takenouchi and almost always wears a mask, decides to turn over a new leaf and get an honest job. He also learns the secret art of making pillows soft. Meanwhile, Mechazawa, who is unaware that he is a robot, is temporarily rebuilt into a motorcycle. Hokuto's henchman fails to reveal his real name, and Hayashida's attempt to form a baseball team ends with most of the characters in jail. These are just some of the silly and absurd things that happen in this manga.

Like many gag series, there are some jokes that don't quite land. However, with the short chapters and rapid-fire delivery, there is always a good joke just around the corner.

Content notes: There is a certain amount of violence in the manga, but it is played for humor. There is also some swearing, and several underage characters smoke, although you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at them.

This manga is recommended for high school and older readers who enjoy absurdism and comical stories.

Still chuckling at the absurd antics of the uproarious hoodlums who are the main characters of Cromartie High School. This installment showcases Mechazawa being transformed into a motorbike. Meanwhile, the brains of the group, Kamiyama, manages to win a significant hoodlum title. Strangely enough, he also gets arrested twice. What on earth is going on? He's supposed to be the "good" student! *grin*

There's also more character development for Masked Takanouchi, the hijacker who took the place of student Takanouchi. Amazingly, nobody notices the switch! *laughing*

So, if you're in need of some serious entertainment, look no further than this off-the-wall hilarious series!

Back to form, this piece is simply crazy and wacky in the best possible way!

It doesn't try to reach too far or be overly complicated. Instead, it just goes for it with its wild and wacky ideas.

Once again, it had me laughing out loud in bed, much to the annoyance of my wife who told me to shut up.

I absolutely loved the mechazawa and game show parts. They were so much fun and added to the overall zaniness of the piece.

The writer really knows how to create a lighthearted and entertaining read that will have you chuckling from start to finish.

Whether you're looking for a quick laugh or something to brighten up your day, this article is definitely worth checking out.

So go ahead, give it a read and get ready to have some fun!

Silly. Just silly.

This is the only manga series I've ever read, and it was a little strange at first reading it backwards. But as I delved deeper, I found that this was definitely one of the funniest series I've ever come across.

It's the sort of comedy that's delightfully random. Some might argue that it tries too hard, but for me, it was pure gold. I loved every moment of it. :)

I feel the same way about all three books in the series. They each have their own unique charm and hilarity.

So, I'm copy and pasting my review because it's one of those rare series where all three volumes are equally great. It's a must-read for anyone who loves a good laugh and doesn't take themselves too seriously.
