Kodansha USA’s official website describes the plot of the manga as “Haruka Sakura wants nothing to do with weaklings—he's only interested in the strongest of the strong. He’s just started at Furin High School, a school of degenerates known only for their brawling strength—strength they use to protect their town from anyone who wishes it ill. But Haruka’s not interested in being a hero or being part of any sort of team—he just wants to fight his way to the top!” 

The fans of the manga are really excited to see this entertaining high-school delinquent story come to life on screen. And from the looks of it, neither the story, animation style, nor the cast is going to disappoint in any way. For now, we can only wait for the much anticipated anime’s first episode.
