Synopsis

In one unusual Tokyo high school, education takes a backseat to brawling as warring clubs wreak havoc in the hallways and chaos in the classrooms, all vying to be the baddest team around! Although they often contribute their fair share, only a handful of students serve to stem the tide of violence in this untamed outpost. These are the few, the proud, the powerful: the members of the Juken Club!

Background

Tenjou Tenge was first published in English as Tenjho Tenge by DC Comics under the CMX imprint. The CMX release came under heavy criticism by fans for editing and censoring the sexual content. 18 volumes were released from March 1, 2005 to September 8, 2009 before CMX shut down. VIZ Media republished the series uncut as Tenjo Tenge: Full Contact Edition in 2-in-1 omnibuses under the VIZ Signature imprint from June 21, 2011 to February 5, 2013. It was also published in Italian by Panini Comics from September 2001 to August 25, 2011.

in short

while this manga started out on fire I feel that at some point Oh GREAT gave up on this manga.

there are so many story arc`s an questions that either went unfinished,was dropped mid story,or just went nowhere.,plus there was to much time spent on historical flashbacks than on the characters in the present...,I feel that when the Tenjou Tenge anime didn`t take off Oh GREAT gave up on any ideas he may have had for the manga,and just to finish out the series quickly turned to anime online read comment sections an filled the story with as many things he could that Fanboys/Fangirls wanted ...

Mixed Feelings

You often read it in the newspaper a teenage girl with psychically abusive boyfriend, the boy first seemed to be a nice and caring guy as time flows he begin to reveal to show his true natures and start hitting his own girlfriend.

As common sense dictates, the girl tries to keep her distance and tries to escape from his clutch. Unfortunately for her the boyfriend is the most popular jock in school , an American football quarterback. So with the ...

I Keep reading the manga because of the artwork, and this is the update of my previous review. While at first readers are let to believe that this manga has a strong female in maya. The author slowly wanted to show that Maya because she is a woman is weak , cannot rule not capable to be a leaderand rule and always needs help and of course there is the breakdown. Bob's training is the best example, The training that maya gave him wasn't enough to make him able to defeat Madoka. Mitsuomi had predicted this ... before and claimed he could make bob the sharpest blade.
Mitsuomi can inspire loyalty while Jyuken members were just a bunch of people who happen to hang out together and not a cohesive unit.
There is a lot of fanfic of these two and mostly written by girls, because they are indeed a shoujo comic couple.Mitsuomi is type of lead that make shoujo romance unbelievable, cool rich, the strongest guy and very good at running his organization and at doing everything. Add to the fact that Maya lives at a traditional japanese house while Mitsuomi lives in a vast mansion. don't forget the rich and haughty love rival Emi
Fighting
it's very brutal and entertaining, it's very regretable though that despite of the brutality there are only a few death.It's very weird that crying is enough to make everyone holds hands together and become friends and forget they were at each other's throat despite the fact that the person who is standing before them has just murdered your entire family. It seems that the author loved his characters too much and doidn't want to kill them
Special attention has to be given toShin. He is a very popular character, too bad he is just a Sephiroth look alike. No , he is sephiroth, it's not just psychal resemblance, shin uses a long sword just like sephiroth did , he is a nice person before he goes berserk and starts killing people just again just like sephiroth did.
Whoever wrote this manga is indecisive and a pushover.Souchiro might be the winner of the worst main character ever because of his cockiness, but instead of trying to salvage him by explaining that he was cocky because of abitter past., He gave in to Mastaka's fanboys, fangirls demand and give a bigger portion to him in the story there is even a scene where the girls accidently serviced him.
another case, is tenjou tenge special, where Maya and Mitsuomi become a couple again. It was just a desperate attempt on the part of the author to calm down the fans and salvaged his comic .
After the publication of tenjou tenge vol 22, the author searched the net to look for comments and was shocked by the comments that Tenjou Tenge is the stupidest manga because the main character (Maya) died, by doing that author literary killed his own manga. you can read this in the last page of Tenjou Tenge vol 22.
What theck with the microchip that Kurei found in Kyushu, it is supposed to contain information about the nature of relations between F and Mitsuomi. But what is the significance of the chip? Maya could just have asked Mitsuomi because they still keep in contact. Nevermind , because the chip was never mentioned again.
I am confused, if they are indeed enemies and Mitsuomi intended to destroy Juken, why the heck they often work together.Masataka could defeat Mitsuomi's bodyguards easily and according to Kurei Masaka's is the second strongest fighter in Jyuken below Maya. So why the heck they didn't just beat the crap out him?
Bob is actually an intersesting character and a good fighter, almost every one voted Souchiro as the worst character ever, but they actually liked bob. why the heck he just faded away like that.
The story is bad because the author is sexist( think that members of other gender are inferior), racist and Indecisive. However reaing this crap is highly recommended because of the ecchi
