Like a testosterone-laden version of AZUMANGA DAIOH, the quirky comedy anime series CROMARTIE HIGH SCHOOL chronicles the rough-and-tumble hijinks at a school for male juvenile delinquents. The series centers on Takashi Kamiyama, a normal 16-year-old with average grades who somehow ends up at the infamous academy and is forced to navigate its brutal social hierarchy of juvies, outlaws, bullies, and thugs--as well as a 400-pound gorilla, a robot who thinks he's human, and a Freddie Mercury wannabe. Based on a hugely popular manga, CROMARTIE HIGH SCHOOL parodies the world of boy-school anime with meta style, tongue-in-cheek humor, and plenty of references to the operatic rock band Queen. This collection presents the series in its entirety.

Distributor Notes: Teen life is tough. And high school life is even tougher. But if you're one of the delinquents sent to Cromartie, it's...well, put it this way, it ain't The O.C. So pack your bags, put on your best tough-guy swagger, and get a lesson in insanity from the losers, bruisers, and thugs at Cromartie High.
