Product Description
In one unusual Tokyo highschool, classical education takes a backseat to brawling, as warring school clubs wreak havoc in the hallways and cause chaos in the classrooms, all in a bid to be the baddest team around! Only a handful of students serve to stem the tide of violence in this untamed outpost (although they often contribute their fair share). These are the few, the proud, the powerful—the members of the Juken Club. Maya, the 17-year-old club leader, uses a form of ki to transform her naturally nubile body into a childlike form, to better maintain discipline and deceive her enemies. Takayanagi, serving as Maya’s unofficial second-in-command, is an earnest, shy young man whose innocence belies his fierceness in battle. Maya’s younger sister Aya, a newcomer to the club, isn’t as seasoned a fighter as her sister, but more than holds her own with a sword. Nagi and Bob are two trouble-making transfer students who nearly beat up the entire school body at one time! until they met up with Maya, who may bring them over to her side…if she doesn’t kill them first.

Filia (USA: IL) (2007/10/04):
Tenjho Tenge is an extremely popular manga both in the US, and in Japan. With that kind of reputation, one would think it would be a very good series, right?
Not in my opinion. I couldn't even get past the first 50 pages. It was nothing but fighting, and seemingly random fanservice. Which may be why it's so popular.(With guys. XD)
Research on future volumes makes it even worse- it apparently is completely sexist, and to top it off, this is an EDITED version.
I don't want to know what the uncut one is, really.
It may not be my cup of tea, but if you like this kind of thing, read it. However, if you like reading manga with strong female characters, don't. This one doesn't have any.
