SWOT by Sugita Naoya
Serialization started in WSJ 2010 #31

About SWOT:
Transfer student Manabizaki Kyou is a swot, a person who spends too much time studying. His dream is to attend Tokyo University and then work for NASA! He will soon discover, however, that the high school he's transferred into, which was once very prestigious, has taken in delinquents from the surrounding schools. Now it is full of violence and gang fights.

Luckily, Manabizaki has a surprising skill at fighting, particularly when he's defending the peace of his study area. Through this strength he'll find his new friends, a weak boy called Iwashida and a legendary delinquent girl, Hasuno Nene, who makes him feel things that, for the first time in his life, he can't explain...

this is a manga now or still a one shot?

only the oneshot is out at the moment, but the series starts tomorrow (technically)

 

[Notte]

the first chapter of the manga is out, the first chapter is interesting, but it's another school delinquent manga.

Really? Where is it out? And I agree, I wonder how it will fare against Beelzebub.

Sorry, but that's actually just the one shot. The series is different, because Kyou's hair changes from white in the one shot, to red in the series, seen in the cover of issue 31

I just read it and it definitely has good potential. I hope it sticks for a while.

 

[Jinoh]

chapter 1 is out by red-hawk scans btw

 

[Negative Syndicate]

Chapter 1 is like edited version of one shot, so there's nothing to say about this series at this point. I'm going to make judgement about this series from chapter 2.

I loved the One Shot, so naturally I love this chapter as well. The edits were really swell, I must say.

Re: [NEW] SWOT by Sugita Naoya

I really like the series so far. I hope that SWOT will live and not die like Zan did it.

Re: [NEW] SWOT by Sugita Naoya

Chapter 2 is out now~

Re: [NEW] SWOT by Sugita Naoya

Just read the first two chapter and the manga hasn´t any potential for me to read further.

I don´t know why, but it looks like Beelze and the AW isn´t good. And the Combination of that, isn´t good for me.

Re: [NEW] SWOT by Sugita Naoya

You're dropping a Jump manga after two chapters? That's like someone dropping One Piece or Reborn after two chapters because they were too silly. It's a very mislead judgment.

Re: [NEW] SWOT by Sugita Naoya

Fun characters, interesting setting, and good potential for plot expansion. I really like it and I'm definitely gonna look forward to new chapters. Made me want to work out and read a book, so i did!

Re: [NEW] SWOT by Sugita Naoya

Better than Zan, but this is still really boring.

I can't see myself keeping up with this one.

 

[Notte]

Re: [NEW] SWOT by Sugita Naoya

I read chapter 2, and it looks a copy of beelzebub without jokes.
Like jaymie said I can' t just drop a series after 2 chapeter, because the first chapters of reborn untill kokuyo land where boring but now is my favourite manga.
