Description
The lead character, Jimmy (Katsuya Oonishi) is an art student at Bara-Gaku ('Bara Juuji Gakuin'; Rose-Cross Academy). When he was little, he almost drowned, but was saved by a tattoo artist. From that day, Jimmy vowed to become a tattoo artist (because tattoos signify 'a hero' to him).
Jimmy's a decent person by nature, but because of the people he hangs out with, he's considered a delinquent. Banko, his partner-in-crime, is a shrewed kid; he sells information on the popular girls (phone numbers, likes and dislikes, etc) in the area. Despite the delinquent exterior, Banko is actually really s... More...

If youve read delinquent manga, then this gives off the same vibe. Its well written too and the comedy is not forced but still pretty existent so this is pretty enjoyable to read. Athough the character designs are relatively outrageous, but I dont mind. Its what differentiates this manga.
They play around with some thinking concepts as well.
I think this manga is comfortable to read because there is a nice balance/ratio of the different genres (action, shounen, comedy, occasional ecchi and romance).

So far it's surprisingly good for something that's still in the standard one story per chapter stage. We have been introduced to all these interesting characters ie the tattoo maniac, the useful partner, the useless "side kick" and the enemy turn "friend" handsome weirdo. Cliched? Maybe, but it's wonderfully combined. My initial impression on the manga is quite positive. However, I would like to see some character developments and not just gang fights and gags.
