Osu!! Karate Club 237 02-15 10:21
The series began as a fairly humorous and lighthearted satire of Japan\'s teenage delinquent-gang subculture told from the perspective of Matsushita Tadashi (who also narrates these early Karate Bu stories), a 2nd year student at Kangokou High and a constant target of Kangokou\'s numerous bullies who beat him up routinely after school. He is almost always accompanied by his best friend Saitou Takaki, who is also constantly harassed.
As the pair grow increasingly tired of being victimized they decide to join the titular Karate Club, which is notorious throughout Osaka\'s youth gangs for training and producing the city\'s most hardened and toughest teenage thugs while maintaining the facade of a legit school sports club. But when they join the club, they find themselves picked on just as much if not worse by the club\'s current members. But as the story progresses they grow to be increasingly capable fighters.
Along with the manga\'s change in attitude and central character, the various teenage fighters throughout the series grew increasingly stronger and even began to tap into superhuman ki abilities, putting Osu!! Karate Bu in the company of other similar epic Shōnen fighting manga such as Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, and Fist of the North Star.
Osu!! Karate Bu was wildly popular in its native Japan, but is otherwise almost completely unknown in most other countries. It spawned a four episode OVA mini-series released over a period of two years from 1990-1992, a 1990 live action movie, and a 1994 Super Famicom fighting game.

Panic World 3 01-23 19:15
Takashi Shiki is a ronin student who has nothing going for him. One day, he sees fighter planes flying above the sky - as well as a man who died from a gunshot to the head on the ground. The next day, after tanks start to show up, a mysterious young woman named Yuki Kitano begins to accompany Shiki. Shiki also is given the task of watching over his wealthy neighbor\'s mansion for a hefty sum. But this fortunate turn of events for Shiki is too good to be true: before long, the truth of the matter becomes clear to him - *World War III is about to begin.*
In addition to the title story, also includes:
- **Mirai of the City of Nocturnal Light**: Adachi resides in a city far from the sun - so far from it, there is no night or day. One day, a surprise encounter leads him to meeting Mirai, a young lady who not only lives in a place even further below Adachi\'s, but wishes to obtain a flower in the city of light above.
- **The Yellow Rabbit**: A glimpse into the life of a pathetic factory worker, and the various scandalous matters he catches wind of.
*Note: In the original Sun Comics tankobon, the one-shot Black Bird of Death 4444 was also included. This one-shot was the manga writing debut of Buronson after his brief time under Hiroshi Motomiya. It was included for its similar themes to Panic World, but is absent in the digital edition.*
