Review of “Rokudenashi Blues” (So far)
While searching about looking for a good delinquent series, i stumbled upon Rokudenashi Blues. (Good for nothing blues)
Within a week i had caught up with it, i was completely hooked from the first chapter.
I found this series was a fresh breeze from the usual overpowered, effeminate protagonist fighting off a never ending flow of enemies bent on wanting to destroy the earth. This was about high school delinquents being high school delinquents, with a bit of boxing on the side.

This manga is an absolute masterpiece and the best Furyou/Yankee manga of all time.
It's a shame it's not more popular nowdays. this was one of the best selling Shonen Jump mangas in the 90s and was fully translated in France where Yankee manga was popular in the 2000s but is still not fully available in english to this day.

The art is special and very realistic, very impressive considiring it's a weekly release, the characters are the best part of the series, all charismatic and very human and well developped. It's being over 15 years since I ... |
