Synopsis

Suzuran is a school where the misfits of society congregate. Known as "Crows," the students lack a promising future; they establish their place in the world only by using their fists. In this violent culture, physical strength remains the be-all and end-all amongst the teenagers with nothing else to live for. Suzuran maintains its set hierarchy, but such a system fails to unite all involved in a common goal. While there are those at the top, Suzuran has no single leader.

Enter Harumichi Bouya, an unethical teenager with little intellectual capability. As a typical delinquent, Harumichi loves to fight and takes on any adversity with his physical prowess. Now at Suzuran, Harumichi aims to prove himself and reach the very top of the vicious society he has been thrust into.

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 ...

It's definitely my favorite ...

TL:DR
Bad fights, repetitive plot, boring characters. Don't bother with this manga. At least there's good art

Story: 4/10
The manga has the same basic structure that it repeats endlessly:
enemy introduced > defeats previous enemies (now allies) to prove how strong they are > main character destroys them > they are now allies
This is basically covers the entire manga. They do this for nearly every single antagonist that Harumichi faces. Sometimes they focus a little more in the allies but ultimately it's the same every time.

The fights are extremely formulaic too. Harumichi starts out clearly losing, barely getting a hit in. Then, no matter how injured he is, ...
