Has anyone a raw?

I have the summary but in japanese. Only thing I know is ''Code Kids Next Door'':

2036年 校則で規定された以上の長さだからと、JKを丸刈りにする高校教師


第1話 紅童衛児と立派な大人たち(くどうれいじとりっぱなおとなたち)


16年前の大人党(おとなとう)の躍進により、子供たちに理不尽な支配が強いられている
その中での成績により、子供たちは20歳での成人後｢大人ランク｣と呼ばれる
A～Dの4段階のカーストに振り分けられる
(既に大人だった前述の丸刈り教師は既得権益が認められAランク)


今でも制度に反対する｢ガレージキッド｣と呼ばれる団体があり
そのメンバーは｢リビドー｣に起因する異能の力で
反旗を翻すべく暗躍してるという都市伝説こそあるものの
その噂の元とされるサイトも大人党の検閲下なので、どこまで本当なのやら


さて、主人公・衛児の通う高校で
大人党の新政策である、全生徒の遺伝子検査を試験運用することになる
衛児は大人ランクが低かろうが人間の幸せには関係ないと考えてるので
ろくに結果も聞かずに採血場を離れるが
実は4段階どころか、Dの下のEが出た者もいる
何事かと思ってると、もっとヤバい事態が発生
衛児と幼いころから相思相愛の月野朱梨(つきの あかり)の判定結果がSSS


すぐさま臨時休校になり、大人党の思惑により朱梨は転校することになる
衛児(こうして…… ずっと続くと思ってたオレと朱梨の日常は
理不尽な大人たちによって…… 壊れ始める……)
■運命は、廻る――。

Skimmed through the first bits of the chapter, but as it went on, I got into it. Interesting premise, but the addition of potential super powers feels like a step to far given the premise.

This manga will be one of the shonen classics. In 2030 people will look at it like we see superman and batman now.

Superb start. Finally, something that takes its time instead of immediately overpowering a villain.

Agree with the post above...

Well, the plot isn't new. There are manga dealing with the same theme. But never the less it's interesting that there is a new bid.

You all probably noticed that many manga/manwha are offering the same stuff, and it feels like we're being flooded with similar themes, so the unique few that catches our eyes should be promoted more actively.

What's the trend atm. and what will it be in 5-10 years. I think the mmo and rpg manga (gamer etc.) is trending atm, and superhero stuff (one-punchman and boku no hero academia) as well. So perhaps this one might settle into a niche.

I do miss the uniqueness though (Natsuko no Sake etc.), but the recent manga version of Parallel world pharmacy is a nice breath of air...

chapter 2:
赤い糸

大人党によって朱梨はAランクの高校に転校させられようとしている
二人の仲を引き裂かれそうなその時、衛児の心臓に異変
腕の血管を伝って右の小指から、赤い糸で結ばれた一本の針が生えてくる
■今、覚醒(めざめ)の刻。

Chapter 3 Edited Manga by WSJ (and last one, for chapter 4 we'll need a miracle): http://boards.4chan.org/a/thread/154008373#p154010092

It suddenly turned interesting o_o

If the political analysis deepens over the course of the series, this could be a fascinating experiment in having almost explicit political criticism in Jump manga that is rarely present.

The overall story was decent. Appears to have more potential than many of the other newer Jump manga imo, though that potential could just as easily go unfulfilled.

I think it is Indonesian but here is Chap 4
