The Tokyo Prefectural Senior School No.49 was founded in 1923.
In April, Shigenoshin Mizuhara became the first principal.
In September, the school was destroyed by the Great Earthquake.
In 1930,
Tetsuharu Kawakami became boss of all the school gangs.
During one of his fights he left the famous words,
"I down tall buildings in a single pound. "
In 1944, the school fell victim to the air raids of WWII,
and was demolished for the second time in its short history.
In 1948, the New School System was introduced,
and the school was renamed "Tokyo Municipal High No.49".
In 1950,under 0rder No. 1 of the Tokyo Board of Education,
the school was renamed "Tokyo Cromartie High School".
But it was mysteriously destroyed for a 3rd time when somebody bombed it.
During the official reopening in 1952, a battle broke out among students.
In the ensuing riot, the buildings were destroyed for a 4th time.
In 1956,at the opening for the new pool and gym
students from another school broke in,
but fortunately the damage was limited.
In 1960,
"The 1st Tokyo Metropolitan Gang Leader Conference " was held there.
In 1968,police were called to the graduation ceremony.
It began as a five-on-five battle between students and officers,
but escalated.
The riot squad arrived, leading to the school's 5th demolition
In 1977,
everyone screwed up the date for enrollment.
In 1985, the janitor accidentally let the school pets escape.
The principal shot and killed the animals,
which led to another school riot.
The school was destroyed for the 6th time.
And this year,
no one ever expected it to happen for the 7th time.

Dear Mother,
I'm now a student of Cromartie High School.
I'll enjoy my days here,
and spend a youth I can be proud of.
I'll get used to it quickly.
I can't wait to live as high school students do.
I am thrilled about it.
However...

Takashi Kamiyama (age 16)
0h Mother, I'm a bit confused. Everyone looks like they're yakuza.
0h, at least he's a nice fellow.
He ate it...
No wonder they call this place 'Tokyo's Hell's Kitchen'.
Nothing is normal.
He ate it...
How about these?
Too much?
Go for it.
He ate it again!
They eat anything here.
It's not just your average school full of punks.
No, we're in a totally different dimension here.
But why did I end up being here anyway?
When I was in the eighth grade...
Cough up!
C'mon, quick!
How much would you like?
All you got, idiot!
Hey!
Who are you?
Leave him alone!
It's not cool.
Ichiro Yamamoto(age 15)
It all began when I met him.
Who the hell are you?
What are you, clown?
Come back anytime!
Too many to handle, I guess.
Thank you very much.
It's nothing.
From then on, we became best friends.
What? Aren't you going on to high school?
Nope. When I graduate, I'll save some money...
and become a street vender.
Besides, I've got bad grades.
I couldn't get into any high school anyway.
I know one school you can go to!
As long as you can subtract, anyone can get in.
"Now Accepting Applications"
Hey. Kamiyama.
Are you sure? You can go to a much better school.
I'd be a bit worried by myself.
But with you, I think that we can change the school for the better!
Kamiyama!
Yamamoto-san!
So, it's Yamamoto who got me into this high school.
I don't regret my decision, but I did make one misjudgment...
He failed.
I can't believe he is stupider than these people...
It's you again! Thanks for coming back!
Now I've got to change the school by myself!
Hey, Tanaka!
You guys go get something for us.
Yes sir!
Hey, you don't have to do that.
Don't try to be a hero!
Who's gonna get it then?
If it's a must, then I'll go.
I'll have a roll and some milk!
Egg sandwich!
Fruit roll and cocoa!
Iced coffee!
Pepperoni Pizza!
Veggie sandwich!
Twinkies for me!
They'll realize their stupidity one day...
How come Tanaka ordered too?
I was quite shocked.
One month later
The list seems to be getting longer.
One month later
I don't only get lunches, but I do groceries and other daily goods too.
It's like I'm responsible for their whole diet.
I guess I can save some money if I buy in bulk.
Which means...
... I've got to secure distribution!
Hey Kamiyama! I want...
May I help you?
Line up there, please!
Don't take a crap, please!
Dear Mother...
Finally I'm getting used to school life.
I've even got some friends.
This is Hayashida, who lacks brains.
And this is Maeda, who lacks impact.
The other day we got together
to help the hapless Hayashida study.
Can I ask something?
Go ahead.
Why are we doing this at my home?
No way.
I can't figure it out.
Oh, this is bit too difficult for you.
Try this instead.
"Subtraction for Sillies"
Dear Mother.
They are best friends of mine, really.
This is Hayashida, who lacks brains.
And this is...
Maeda, who is full of impact.
That's my mom!
I'm Takenouchi, age 16. The strongest
of all students at Cromartie.
Even stronger than the seniors.
But even I have a problem.
I suffer from severe motion sickness.
We're out on a school trip today.
I always wanted to go to Kyushu.
I can't take a trains,
nor catch a bus,
So what am I doing on a plane?!
Thankfully,
The plane is being hijacked.
I thought they were a bunch of school kids, but...
they look like yakuza.
They sure do.
But thanks to them,
we're not flying anywhere.
You know, we should surrender now.
We haven't hurt anyone yet.
Damn. If they give up now,
That'll mean the trip is back on, and we will have to fly!
I understand how you feel.
You've no idea how I feel!
OK!
Don't give up yet!
OK, let's fly outta here!
HEY!
What?
I thought you two were giving up!
You know what? We've never hijacked a plane.
And...
What?
I get kinda nervous when there's so many people around.
OK! Everyone out!
C'mon, get out!
Oh, I do feel a lot better without all those people.
He's a very reliable leader.
What do we do next, boss?
Boss?
Boss!
What should we demand, boss?
Boss!
All right. Contact the government. Ask for some ridiculous ransom!
OK. Let's demand 2O billion yen.
Then fly away to South America!
Good. This gives me some time.
The government would never agree to something like that.
The cops will arrive soon.
And then I'll finally get off this plane.
They accepted, Boss.
What?!
What the hell's going on?!
A few days later
Hey, how did that hijack incident end up?
Yeah, it hasn't been in the news at all lately.
It means it wasn't a big deal.
Hey. Aren't we forgetting something?
Where the hell am I?
They did say 'South America'.
But where the hell are they?
What?!
What did we forget?
What's happening to me?
What are they talking about?
Ugly mother of God!
I need to get back to Japan!
Didn't we forget something, Takenouchi?
No. Everything's fine.
Masque D'Takenouchi (mid 30's)
Just as I thought.
I know! We haven't got our school trip fee back!
That's right!
I wanna go back to Japan!
Phew. They can't get me now. Not while I'm swaying out here.
Wait a minute...
I don't like to sway!
PUKE!
VOMIT!
BELCH!
SPLAT!
It is said that R0YALTYcome to Cromartie.
Good Morn...
I'm first here. As usual. Why can't they come on time?
Morning.
You're late! It's past 1O AM already!
I know.
I won't give up. I will change this school.
That's impossible, young Kamiyama.
Pardon?
Impossible. As long as HE is here.
He who?
This must be the room where HE is.
Indeed, it is full of punks. But...
I've seen worse.
I've been through a lot of hassles since I came here.
They are nothing. Just a bunch of brats.
Actually, I feel like I can kick some ass.
They're only trying to look bad.
What a waste of time.
The HE that Hayashida mentioned obviously isn't in here.
Its HIM!
Now what?
The Queen is sniffing me!
I wonder what he wanted me to do?
It is said that BEASTS come to Cromartie.
Morning.
You're late again!
It's 11 AM already!
I know.
You know I won't give up.
As long as IT is here, you'll never be successful.
What do you mean by IT?
IT looks just like a beast.
Is it wilder than Freddie?
In a way, yes.
Who is Freddie?
Take a look behind you.
Freddie (Hard Gay)
All right, let's go!
Look!
Gorilla the Whoopi
There are still many things science can't prove...
It is said that the most inhumane punks in Japan come to Cromartie.
But IT' is the least human of all.
They're increasing!
A girlfriend?
No, probably a sister.
It is said that...
ANYTHING comes to Cromartie...
Morning.
You're late again! It's almost 1 PM!
I know.
I'll never stop trying...
We've got another one!
Ready?
Look!
Shinichi Mechazawa (age 16)
What do you think?
I don't think it needs winding up.
Hey! Yo! Mechazawa!
What's up?
One of our boys has been caught by some Bass High punks!
We've gotta get the gang together and put on a full on attack!
Not so quick.
Those Bass punks don't want a war either.
After all, it was our guy who started things off, right?
I know people there. I'll smoothen things out.
You mean we should give in?
Don't worry. I'll be the only guy to lose face.
Why do you always have to draw the short straw?
Damn it!
We know you really can kick ass when you want to.
But if you keep on like this,
aren't you worried people won't respect you?
He's totally the head of this class!
Head.
Mechazawa, you are the head.
Bro!
He is... full on...
Lubricating his head.
Hey!
This is Mechazawa ß. His little brother!
Beta?
Nothing beats a puff after lunch!
Oh what a feeling.
Listen up!
So, the negative effects tobacco has on your body are countless.
Of the 4,OOO chemical substances contained in every cigarette,
2OO are proven to be poisonous,
and 4O are known carcinogens.
Smoking just two cigarettes
will double your daily requirement of vitamins.
Kamiyama.
Can't you put it a bit simpler?
Yeah! You lost us way back.
What the hell are 'carcinogens'?
OK. Let me put it this way.
Smoke one cigarette a day, and lose 5 and a half minutes of your life.
No way!
According to this data,
a pack a day takes 1 hour 5O min, that is 55 hours a month off your life.
That means 66O hours annually,
27 days and 12 hours,
that you'll lose each year.
He might be right. This may not be good for us.
We'll slowly get sicker and sicker.
Imagine you're about to fight.
Its a very special moment in your life. But you don't feel too good.
Sorry. Please let me go...
You'll never be able to face anyone again.
That's right!
Let me show you something.
How often do you smoke, Masa-san?
About two packs a day.
Way to go Masa!
OK. Let's have him smoke those two packs all at once.
As you can see, he fainted.
So, how poisonous do you think the leaves are in one cigarette?
Add water and stir.
The result is obvious.
For young men like you
who have nothing to be proud of other than your body, it's fatal.
I guess being pale and thin isn't really the way to be cool.
A true punk has to have rippling muscles.
Punks have to look wild.
Listen up. You mean to say,
our ideal role model doesn't smoke?
Exactly.
I disagree.
Even muscular and wild men smoke.
What do they smoke?
That!
The rich flavor and aroma. Oh what a feeling!
Listen up!
You still don't get what I said?
But look at Freddie!
He's not just acting cool like you are.
That's what he is.
We don't wanna smoke cigars either.
Then quit!
But we need something to make us look cool.
Our lips would be lonely.
And our fingers would be too.
Oh, come on...
I know a way to make all happy!
A way to keep both your lips and fingers content.
That!
I had a fight with the Bass School punks.
No way!
Shall we get the guys and do a full on attack?!
Yeah, let's go!
They'll be sorry.
Sorry as hell!
H0KUT0, Takeshi (age 16)
H0KUT0'S Henchman (age 16) H0KUT0, Takeshi (age 16)
I've heard this school is in its own league.
I've been informed so too.
There's no need for concern.
No matter who we encounter.
Of course.
Mr. Hokuto, you have already taken over 18 schools.
Good point.
Listen up!
As of today, Cromartie High
is under control of Mr. Hokuto!
Um... Mr. Hokuto? Where is everybody?
What time is it?
1O:3O a.m.
They must be in the gym or something...
Good Morn...
Everyone's always late.
Late?
Oh, good morning.
Shut up.
What did you say about the school?
You should not talk to our new teacher like that.
Teacher? Me?
What shall we do, Mr. Hokuto?
There's no other option. Let's move on to the next class.
Hurry up and let these pigs learn how powerful I am.
Yes sir!
Listen up! This is the one and only successor
of the Hokuto conglomerate!
Morning.
You're late again! Hurry up and take a seat!
This new teacher is from quite an affluent family.
Teacher?
No, I'm not a teacher.
What? You're not?
Listen carefully!
Mr. Hokuto transferred here today from another school.
Oh. A newbie.
Yes. Don't go bullying our new friend.
Bully me?
Listen up! I am Takeshi Hokuto!
I've taken over this school. Don't take it personally.
My father is the executive of this school.
With my power, I can expel you whenever I please.
May I?
What, silly face?
This is a public school. We have no executive.
What? Public?
Wrong school. What now? I can't take back what I said.
And I can't use Daddy's power here...
Shall we skip this one, Mr. Hokuto?
Listen up!
My father is NOT the executive of this school!
So?
What are you trying to say? Who is your father then?
My father controls the government...
in black cloaks... from the backroom.
He's the shadow Prime Minister!
Say what?
Black cloaks?
The shadow Prime Minister?
Exactly! And he can take over the school with ease.
You are mere pawns to him.
And I have come to destroy my evil tyrant of a father!
Who'd ever believe such a lie?
What does he plan to do?
Let me help you!
Let's defeat the shadow PM!
For justice!
He bought that?
Wait up.
Don't go leaving me out of it.
And this one too?
Of course you're with us! And him too!
Who?
What shall I do?
You asked for it.
Here we go!
Dear Mother,
Together with Maeda and Freddie
we've formed 'The Global Defense Force'.
I'll make you proud.
"Global Defense Force H.Q."
So, why my house again?
So, what do you think? Shall we add one more?
What? You want increase the number of members?
Yes, Captain! Currently, we have only six men,
excluding your henchman, in the Global Defense Force.
So? I don't get it.
You always need seven. Think! "The Seven Samurai",
"The Magnificent Seven" and "Snow White & The Seven Dwarves".
Justice can only be enforced when there are seven heroes.
But, finding someone is easier said than done.
Leave my Mum alone!
She wanted to join us?!
We set out to look for the last member.
Aman's man. A cool man. And then...
Nope.
Why not? Are you really too busy
doing THIS?
Do you call that a thrust?
Life is all about thrust!
Work harder!
Sorry!
You've got to take life by the balls!
We continued to look for the next member.
Someone manlier, someone cooler.
Like, someone who can spend hours in the sun.
And then...
I know where you're coming from, but I've got a few problems myself.
Oh, please!
Sorry.
So we had problems finding someone with time and interest.
Is my ass tanned?
Very tanned, sir.
Thanks.
Before we knew it seven days had passed.
And then!
Let me introduce you all!
He most kindly agreed to join us.
He is the famous movie star, Kai Ato.
Hiya. I got a call from him last night. And he said something
about the earth. What was it? 'Defending the earth?
Correct.
Oh... As long as I don't have any filming,
I'll help you guys. You're beautiful.
So the GDF began work.
By the way, what are we supposed to do?
How silly of you, Hayashida. We're trying to find something.
Oh.
Thief!
Shouldn't we capture that guy?
No, that's for the police. Our mission is completely different.
This town has gone to trash.
Oh, the kids of today. It kinda gets to you.
I never knew so many young people were hooked on drugs.
We, the GDF, must do something!
Captain!
I motion for the Hokuto conglomerate
to buy up all the drugs in Japan!
What?
Seven days later.
We bought everything. Now what do we do?
Well, it's too much for us to consume.
We have to get this place empty before my dad sees it.
Why don't we sell it on the streets to help fund our activities?
Won't that make us just like the other dealers?
Oh.
Silly Hayashida. You always think about your own benefit.
We should donate it to the world's needy children!
Seven hours later...
I thought we were doing a good thing.
There are still many things science can't prove...
Mechazawa's been sick for 7 days.
Holy Father!
Jesus...
The situation is getting worse day by day.
