So many manga and anime serial are about becoming full fighters . Whether it ’s Dragonball Z , Bleach , Naruto , or whatever , they take campaign very seriously — but even more esoteric anime and manga can be guilty of obsessing over their subject area to the point of insanity . Here are nine serial that take certain subjects way too far .
1 ) The Prince of Tennis
One of the most coarse types of son - place Zanzibar copal and manga is the sports series . The Prince of Tennis is a staring example : Ryoma Echizen is a young tennis prodigy who attends a private shoal with a renown tennis club , so you ’d expect most of the students to be lawn tennis ghost anyhow , good ? But somehow , the entire world has the same lawn tennis obsession as these kids , as evidenced when the lone hand Ryoma heads to a bookstore to buy a book on how to play doubles . Not only the stave laughs at his ignorance , but the sleep of the store ’s client do , too . Also , the players actually defeat a bear with their tennis skill . Admittedly , the bear was a burglar in disguise , but that frankly does n’t make it any less insane .

2 ) Hikaru no Go
liken to The Prince of Tennis , Hikaru no Go is in reality reasonably sensible . Of course , it does star a young son mention Hikaru who gets possess by the ghost of an ancient Go passkey whose desire to dally the game force Hikaru into the worldly concern of competitive Go . Obviously , Hikaru slowly gets into the game and desire to be the best , etc . , so it ’s all he ever talks and guess about . As he gets better , he begin play three games at once , and then blindfold . When he sees someone Lolium temulentum at Go he reacts as if someone clubbed a child cachet right in front of him . And for most musician , watching someone play a game — even online — is like seeing a fingerprint , allow them to deduce the identity of anyone they ’ve determine play , which get Hikaru and his ghostwriter in trouble on more than one social function . The honorable part is that since Hikaru no Go is a shonen series , it ’s also supposed to be an action serial publication ; I guarantee you ’ve never fancy anyone set a small Lucy Stone on a board more dramatically than the cast of Hikaru no Go .

3 ) Air Gear
In the populace of Air Gear , Air Trecks — basically Rollerblade that impel themselves — are so popular they ’ve somehow inspired various gangs to have rollerblade - based fight with each other . These are so prevalent , a special division of the constabulary has been take shape , commit to Air Treck - touch crimes . That ’s not near as mad as the fact that there are apparently eight different “ style ” of Air - Trecking , and each master of each style has a certain special Air Treck part , which when combined with the others makes the world ’s with child brace of Air Trecks . Eventually , the Air Treck wars get so violent and significant that President Obama join in , personally … although , as you might have a bun in the oven , he has accidentally switched minds with a Japanese schoolgirl .

4 ) Yu - Gi - Oh
You may be aware that Duel Monsters , the card game played by the characters of Yu - Gi - Oh , has some sort of mystical property , that the cards represent actual monsters , and that the biz is base on something the ancient Egyptians played . But did you know that the entire innovative world revolves around a game played primarily by children ? There are whole school dedicate to teaching the plot . The game has leg of science and mathematics devoted alone to it . Military forces are used to guard the most authoritative , powerful card . By the time the third Yu - Gi - Oh series rolls around , Yu - Gi - Oh 5D , the game has created a course system that encompasses the total world and the justice system has been replaced by the secret plan . The children ’s card secret plan .

5 ) Bartender
On the flipside of Yu - Gi - Oh , Bartender is a elementary tale of a man name Ryu Sasakura . Bartender takes place in the real man , in the sense that beau monde is not based solely on booze ( well , at least not any more than it presently is ) . On the other paw , Ryu is so good at bartending he ’s practically a wizard . His incredible ability to size up a customer , mix a boozing , and also determine the drink the customer need regardless of what he / she orders is tremendously insane . thing Ryu ’s drinks have been capable to accomplish : make multitude remember affair , blank out things , return them from the brink of despair , solve author ’s block , save marriages — just for starters .

6 ) Eyeshield 21
While futbol is moderately popular in Japan , American football game is pretty unknown . However , that did n’t stop someone from making a shonen sports series on the theme , where a suspiciously eminent amount of Japanese high schools seem to have squad . While the football play in the manga / gum anime is so comically violent as to make American pro football role player flinch , the real insanity is the breeding that the protagonists ’ team the Deimon Devil Bats are put through by their mad coach Hiruma . He lease the Tokyo Tower ( Tokyo ’s copy of the Eiffel ) and forces his player to lean up it while holding an ice block — if it melts , they have to get down over , and Hiruma ’s rigged the tugboat with many fervidness traps . He calls out a hit on his own player to drive him to run for his life and work up up staying power . And this is n’t even count the “ Death March ” across Texas in which actual firearms are used .

7 ) Yakitate ! ! Japan
Can untested Kazuma Azuma become the best breadmaker in Japan ? Who the hell cares ? Well , the baking - obsessed form of Yakitate ! ! Japan , for starters . Kazuma works for the Pantasia bakeshop and has ( I am not pretend this up ) “ solar hands ” — hands that are warm than common , which allow the gelt he kneads to work faster ; his dream is to create a bread for the nation of Japan that will be as iconic as the French baguette . Admittedly , Yakitate does lampoon the “ top-notch serious ” type of anime and manga series , as it even include bread - bake tournaments which are contend as ferociously as any warriorlike graphics tourney in any other shonen series . These tournaments are often fought Iron Chef style , mean Kazuma must use particular component and/or sure themes ; bread created in the series include sea urchin dinero , mango waffles , hemp donuts , bread with snapper turtleneck blood , and so many more .
- The Legend of Koizumi
The Legend of Koizumi is , without a dubiousness , consummate comedy . That does n’t exchange the fact that it ’s about former Japanese quality minister Junichiro Koizumi save Japan , and sometimes the world , through the secret plan of Mah Jong . Not only does Koizumi have to combat members of Japan ’s other political party for the unity of the country , but other people he press in the manga include : George W. Bush , Vladimir Putin , the president of China , George H.W. Bush , Margaret Thatcher , Kim Jung - Il , the Pope , the ghosts of Winston Churchill , Franklin Delano Roosevelet and Josef Stalin , and more . Koizumi eventually makes the ultimate sacrifice and defeats Adolf Hitler and his Fourth Reich on the moon . THROUGH MAH JONG .
9 ) Ben - To
Based on a series of weak novel , Ben - To is about a war — a state of war to get half - priced bento box dejeuner at gizmo memory board . It ’s not even face as a sport as much as it ’s an all - out brawl to get a discounted meal . There are actually formula for the fights , albeit unuttered ones — fighters have to wait until the manager who puts the half - price stickers on the bentos head back to his break room , fighters must only take one bento box , once a belligerent has a bento he can no longer be campaign , and by no mean should anyone ever do anything to spill the content of a bento box . But other than that , nothing is really off limits in this splendid , everyday conflict to redeem up to $ 3 .
