it's amazing how 'Crows' doesn't try to be complex but ends up having its moments like that. The story may seem silly, but within the general context it is quite good, the author fulfills what he promises to do, he promises to make a good manga for criminals and he delivers it. Not much to say about this work, it is consistent, all arcs are well structured, the fights are well done and fair, the protagonist has his motivations and is very charismatic, drama is not difficult to understand and how I said before it works and delivers what it promises. It's definitely my favorite read more

Crows is excellent, perhaps the ultimate delinquent manga. But let's go by parts.

The characters are exceptional, being very charismatic and surprisingly deep. It is even curious that Crows never tries to be a complex work in text, but gives density to them when reflecting on their philosophies or attitudes. By the way, the work pays great attention to them, being the protagonist of their own arcs, which is great due to highlighting the cast making them remarkable.

The protagonist, Harumichi, is quite charismatic but ironically less profound than the other characters. Don't get me wrong, he is by far one of the best characters in the read more

crows is an exceptional manga, my first time reading it, it was just about highschool delinquents fighting, after reading it i felt empty, surprisingly though, it's still just a highschool deliquent fighting manga. why is it exceptional then?

the story is pretty simple throughout the whole story, but it manages to keep you hooked, crows is the type of manga that isn't about the story as much as it is about fights, characters and surprising moments that are able to make you reflect about pretty much anything.

about the art, while i do feel that the art improves as the manga advances, it's great since the read more

Crows is about Bouya Harumichi, a second-year transfered to Suzuran, a highschool full of delinquants. By becoming the number one of the school, he meet others gangs from other highschools.

It is a very fresh story, and even if its clasified as a shounen, it is more a seinen, as you can see blodd, and thematics like death are seen. It has the same style as GTO ( and if you haven't read GTO, do it !), with epic fights, friendship and lot, lot of stupid gags.

Story: 8/10 It is mostly cut in little parts, but every one of those is linked with the next read more
