Product Description: The school of hard knocks has just received an extreme makeover! New kid Mokichi wanted nothing more than to become "Big Man on Campus"--and battle-babe Tamako is just the girl to show him how! When Mokichi arrives at his new school, he causes more than just a little ruckus. Not only does this battle-challenged boy get beaten, bloodied and bruised, he is humiliated before the entire school! What's a dude to do? Join the wrestling club!Yuji Shiozaki, creator of the action-packed Battle Vixens, has delivered another knockout, battle-charged manga series that will have readers flipping and flying over the nonstop action and exploding clothes.
JOINING THE WRESTLING CLUB When Mokichi Saitou arrives at Swan Academy Senior High School he is determined to become the baddest dude on campus and rule over its students as his devoted and fearful subjects. Too bad he gets his butt kicked twice that first day and hung up on a fence, minus pants, with his small "unit" hanging out for everyone to ridicule and he also gets thrown to the ground and destroyed by a beautiful girl! Hoping to improve his fighting skills he decides to join the wrestling club, not knowing that the same girl that smashed his head into the ground, Tamako, is a member! He quickly learns that his training will be brutal, but at least he'll get to try all kinds of compromising positions with the pretty girls of the club. He even starts to get sweet on Tamako, but his idyllic existence will come to an end fast as the Karate club wants to settle a bloodfeud. Mokichi is the weakest member on the wrestling team so he'll probably catch the most heat.
This title is rated Mature for a reason, since it features a lot of nudity and sexual situations, but nothing beyond the equivalent of a rated R movie. Battle Club is not pornography. It is simply what I would call "erotic comedy" with a lot of action thrown into the mix, but the fighting always takes on a sexual context with the fighter's hands, heads, and other extremities being stuck in the most tabooish of places possible. There's also plenty of panty shots no matter even if a character is just tying their shoes. There's not much of a plot here, but the manga is quite funny, especially in a scene where Tamako takes on a giant great white shark with her patented wrestling move! Sexy title whose comedy shines.
Fan Service, and more! When first decided to read this manga I felt that; okay another fan service book, with fighting, I was right. This manga is absolutely enjoyable to read. The story is based in wrestling fight styles as being the strongest form of martial arts. I must admit I am starting to get convinced. The story itself is about a guy Mokichi, who is a loser who decides to join a all girl wrestling team. Oddly enough, he manages to join, after getting brutally beaten several times. As the story progresses you will see that he does not get stronger, but shows more so how much of a wimp, and a wuss that he is.
Anyway I digress, the story is pretty fantastic, but I love that type of stuff, probably because I love working out ^^. When I read it, I get pumped up to go work out for about 2.5 hours. If you like fan service, and you enjoy combat mangas that has comedy this is something that you will enjoy. But if you want an in depth story. Yeah... steer clear. Simple, Action, Boobs, and Panty Shots all wrapped into one. If you want a manga that has more of a story try Battle Vixens, there is more of a story and the same author put alot of work into both of these. OH! one more thing... just be warned there is a DG (Dick Girl/Guy) in the Manga!
