Sakigake!! Otokojuku is a manga series written and illustrated by Akira Miyashita. It was originally serialized at the Weekly Shonen Jump from 1985 to 1991. It is staged in a private boy's school that teaches oendan to troubled teenagers. The students are trained to "revive the Spirit of Japan" and mainly engage in fighting courses.
PLOT:
The genius principal of the private school, Heihachi Edajima, was a war hero during World War II. He trained his students to play an active role in politics, economics and industries in Japan and all over the world, though the way of training is highly anachronistic. The martial arts depicted in this series are also highly choreographed using various forms of martial arts.
Sakigake!! Otokojuku is a 2D fighting game based on the manga series. Fighters are cel-shaded and colored with bright colors for a distinctive look. The fighting is presented on a 2D plane and hearkens back to old school fighting games where the camera pulls in when the combatants are close and out when they're far apart. Backgrounds are well done including one where a troupe of yankii gangsters are apparently punching the air and another where seated monks sit forlornly in the background.
There are 8 playable characters in the beginning but another 13 fighters may be unlocked as they're encountered and beaten during the course of the game. The fighting mode is like KOF where one chooses three fighters and then battles against another trio. The order of each fighter on your team is chosen by pressing the button that corresponds to whom you want to fight first and second. Third place is then filled automatically. Before each bout, the fighters talk trash and have a little dialogue.
