This one is some sort of a sub-cultural East Asian typical rebellious teenagers kind of Manga. Friendships, personalities, school gang or clan...whatever goes. One of my favorite of all time. I can understand why it won't be published in English because of its content are too niche...and culturally, it might not make sense.
But if you want to get to know the core of Far East culture, this is the Manga you should read especially if you are a guy.
Rokudenashi Blues (ろくでなしBLUES, Good-For-Nothing Blues?) Is a manga about high school delinquents in Tokyo, Japan, drawn and written by Masanori Morita, and serialized in Shōnen Jump in Japan. While very popular in Japan, it has yet to be released in English.
The story stars Taison Maeda (前田太尊, Maeda Taison?), delinquent student of Teiken High (帝拳高校, Teiken High?), who wishes to become the World Boxing Champion. The manga follows Maeda (and his friends and rivals) as he struggles through 3 years of high school while becoming one of the strongest and best known high school fighters in all of Tokyo. Not just a pure action manga, Rokudenashi Blues is filled with humor and well-crafted story arcs about honor, friendship and the pressures of being a delinquent student in Japan. Short gag-stories with chibi versions of characters are published as 'Rokudenashi Buru-chu'.
