Summary:
Souchirou Nagi and Bob Makihara are two delinquents who arrive at Toudou Academy with the objective of ruling over the school with their strength. But on their first day, they encountered the Jyuukenbu, a martial arts group of the school. Members of the group, Maya Natsume, her sister Aya, and Masataka Takayanagi easily overpowered Souchirou and Bob. And what's more, due to what was assumed to be their "connections" with the Jyuukenbu, the two were attacked by members of the Enforcement Group, which oversees the martial arts groups of the school. Drawn into the personal conflicts between the Jyuukenbu and the Enforcement Group, Souchirou and Bob have no choice but to join up with Maya Natsume's group and to hone their skills to become even stronger.
One of the best fighting animes I have ever seen. Tenjho Tenge will make your jaw hurt from the astounding raw power and aptitude the fighters have. I couldn't understand why they never made a sequal, tho the OAV episodes numbered 25 and 26 brought it to an actual close (wish they didn't). I wanted to see Nagi grow in more power and skills before the main fight came to a close. Story takes a steep uphill turn, and just drops off like a cliff at the end, kinna disappointing if you ask me, but still one of my favs.
