Unfortunately, the latest freshman class consists of nothing but spineless tough-guy wannabes [[Great Escape|just aching to escape]]... until a delinquent named [[The Hero|Tsurugi Momotaro]] comes to attend. What follows is a [[Character Development|gradual change]] for the freshman class as they struggle under Momotaro's leadership to [[Hilarity Ensues|overcome anything and everything that stands before them]], be it the [[Adults Are Useless|incompetent and]] [[Hypocrite|hypocritical teachers]], or worse...
Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Charge!! Men's Private School) is a comedy martial arts manga series created by Akira Yamashita that ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1985 to 1991, focusing on the absurdities of the titular school at large, as well as its awkward place in modern Japanese society. As the genre indicates, not only are there plenty of [[Hilarity Ensues|crazy things happening in each story]], but there is also no shortage of amazing moments from many of the main characters, both [[Badass|expected]] and [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|unexpected]]. Note that these moments often intersect in this series.
It received an anime adaptation of 34 episodes in 1988, and is quite a watch if only to hear voice actors such as the legendary [[Daisuke Gouri]] simply act [[World of Ham|as outrageously as possible]].
