Saburo has a problem. He's a quite, shy, awkward, bookish sort of kid, traits that are no help socially to anyone about to enter their first year of high school. He could expect to have a rough time in any school but it gets worse because Saburo isn't attending just any school, he's going to Tokumaru Gakuen High School, a school notorious for housing rowdy delinquents, exactly the sort least likely to appreciate Saburo for who he is. Worse yet, two of the biggest delinquents in Tokumaru Gakuen's history were Saburo's elder brothers, both of whom have been expelled and who left behind a loyal band of followers eager to have Saburo step in and fill the leadership gap left by their departure. This aint going to be easy.

Hmm ... awkward boy leading a school full of delinquents in a series of rowdy, violent, comedic adventures in a film based on a manga and directed by Yudai Yamaguchi. Yes, you'll be forgiven for thinking that this is pretty much a note for note return by Yamaguchi to territory already covered in Cromartie High School but considering that film is by far my favorite of Yamaguchi's output so far - pretty comfortably outstripping cult hits Battlefield Baseball and Meatball Machine - I'm okay with that.

The first teaser for Yamaguchi's latest has arrived online and you can check the requisite goofiness below the break.
