Worst is a sequel to Crows, not having the same strength, but being good nonetheless. Let's step by step:

Worst characters are good. Having the personality and charisma to carry an interest in a good fight.
Thus, it instigates the reader to want to see how their fight will be. And boy, what a lot of fights you have here!

The protagonist, Hana, is very charismatic. His strength and personality make the story fun to follow.

The story is quite busy, with intense battles and enemies that command respect like Amachi.
Despite this, the story has a problem with being rushed at times... Whether with conflicts ending too quickly or ...

The Sequel of manga Crows, which takes place after Harumichi Bouya and others have passed schools.

This review contains SPOILER! And this review is for those who have read Crows.

I will always enjoy a manga where it is mostly about fighting, especially hand-to-hand fighting. Worst, or Crows x Worst to be precise, is a wonderful series to spectacle: the world setting is simple, the characters are mostly fresh, the MCs are OP but not totally invincible, the story is easy to understand yet still enjoyable, and, of course, the fights are awesome!

Story: 9
Crows has rather simplistic story, but Worst is a bit more complex. It is ... simple compared to other manga, but compared to Crows, it is a bit complex, but still understandable and enjoyable.

Art: 9
Crows has poor art up until Bouya fought Housen and Tatsuya Bitou. But Worst's art is getting better. You can say that Worst's art is a better version of Crows.

Enjoyment: 10
The character developments and the fights are what I enjoy the most from Worst, especially Amachi, Murata, Renji, Takumi, and, the last but not least, Mitsumasa. If you're going to read this manga, you better remember these names. Hell, even King Joe really developed into a somewhat different character compared to who he was in Crows, and he developed amazingly well.

Character: 8
I love Bouya, but I love Hana even more as an MC. Hana is basically a smaller but more physically powerful version of Bulldog from Crows, with him being a loved leader and all. He is one character that doesn't need any development because of how great they already are. While I did say I enjoy the character developments the most, why do I rate it only 8? Not 10? That one person is why.

Look, I respect that he is powerful and kinda neutral, but I hate how despicable asshole he really is. Bouya would use force to get what he want, so would that guy, but that guy basically made some people (including his gfs) his personal slaves, and used them for his personal gain. Even if it's for comedic purpose, it's such a dick move, even for an asshole like him. I personally don't find him lovable. SPOILER Don't get me started on how he sucker punched Hana with a chair in their supposedly mano a mano duel that would have rivaled Bouya vs Rindaman. So much for 'the greatest duel in history'. And one thing I hate from Hana is how kinda out of character for him to still respect that guy after such an asshole move. And the winner for that fight would have probably been Hana should that guy face him like a real man instead of being a coward, and should Hana hit that uppercut which that guy himself stated he would have lost if the uppercut hit him.

Really, we got Rindaman in Crows, who is overall a chill guy to some people around him (an old lady even praised how kind the dude is), probably the second or third best guy in Suzuran in terms of personality. And then we have that guy who is basically an asshole but still have respect to some people.

Overall: 9
This manga is a wonderful read.

Worst is a manga series by Takahashi, Hiroshi that follows the exploits of a group of delinquent high school students. The manga is a sequel to the author's previous work, Crows, and shares the same setting and characters. While the manga has a loyal fan base, it also suffers from some flaws that prevent it from being good.

One of the main flaws is the lack of character development. The manga introduces many characters, but most of them are either stereotypes or one-dimensional. The protagonist, Hana, is supposed to be a charismatic leader, but he often comes across as arrogant and reckless. The antagonists are ...
