History Manga / RokudenashiBlues

* AccentRelapse: Maeda does a variation on this, where he slips back into his original Kansai accent when he gets mad.
** AccentAdaptation: Said Kansai accent was changed in the scanlations to some sort of New York/New Jersey accent.
* ActionGirl: Former biker gang member Mafuyu.

* BadassCrew: Maeda, Katsuji, and Yoneji. They stop a MobWar between two rival delinquent gangs by themselves. And that's just the beginning.
** The Tokyo Shitenou are made of the four strongest deliquents in Tokyo and managed to singlehandedly defeat 150 deliquents from a rival school from Osaka.
* BerserkButton: Mentioning the size of Katsuji's forehead. Or Yoneji's nose. AND THAT IS ALL WE WILL SAY ABOUT THAT.

* BlindWithoutEm: Fujio can't see without his glasses, and frequently loses his contacts, PlayedForLaughs.
* BoisterousBruiser: Everyone, but mainly Maeda.
* ButtMonkey: Wajima, Koheiji and Sakamoto/Shimabukuro.

* CoolTeacher: Masa-san...I mean Kondou-sensei.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Subverted. The cheer squad tries to cash in on this when Maeda takes down Wajima, but they don't earn it until the end of the first arc, when both the cheer squad and the boxing club accept Maeda as a leader. A lot of characters actually met Maeda as rivals or enemies, before being defeated by him and eventually becoming friends or at least, formed a grudging respect towards him.
** The Tokyo Shitenou (Four Heavenly Kings), the four strongest deliquents in Tokyo, first met as enemy. All of them usually have some beef with Maeda for some reason before being defeated by him. During one of the later arc, when deliquents from a school in Osaka attack their friends, they join forces and fight together.

* EasyAmnesia: Maeda gets hit by this trope in chapter 44.
* EmotionalBruiser: Maeda.

* FourIsDeath: The Tokyo Shitenou, the four strongest deliquents in Tokyo comprising of Maeda, Onizuka of Shibuya, Yakushiji of Asakusa and Kasai of Ikebukuro.

* HotTeacher: Asano-sensei, the art teacher.
* IdiotHero: MAEDA. (Not to mention Malaproper.)

* MadeOfIron: Maeda, and some of the other characters. [[SubvertedTrope But not Yoneji.]]

* MrFanservice: Seikichi, in universe.
* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: Or in this case, a truck.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Teiken first years Hiroto Ohba and Masatoshi Ebihara have character designs modeled on The Blue Hearts' singer and guitarist...Hiroto Komoto and Masatoshi Mashina.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Maeda. Half the time he's not actually that dumb.
* OfficialCouple: Maeda and Chiaki.

* TheRival: Seikichi and Sakamoto/Shimabukuro. Koheji wants to be one, but he comes off more as an UnknownRival.

* ShirtlessScene: The boxing scenes.

* SliceOfLife: Frequently has these episodes in between longer arcs.
* {{Synchronization}}: The cheer squad doesn't have it.

* SmallNameBigEgo: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Koheiji. Nakata.]]

* WorldOfBadass
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: MAEDA. Most of his finishing moves are taken from pro wrestling, and he even defeats Hatanaka in a boxing match using a German suplex.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Violence against women is Maeda's berserk button.

Rokudenashi[[note]]Good-for-nothing[[/note]] Blues is a {{Shonen}} manga by Masanori Morita (author of ''Manga/{{Rookies}}'' and assistant on ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'') with a realistic art style and detailed expressions, centering on the highschool career of one Maeda Taison. However, Maeda isn't just any old ordinary high school student, or even an ordinary delinquent: He dreams of becoming the heavyweight champion of the world (even though he doesn't know the rules of boxing.) He knows street fighting though, and he uses those skills to protect his friends, help out his rivals, and generally rule Teiken High School - even though he's just a freshman. Along with his friends Katsuji, Yoneji, and... too many people to name. 42 volumes of fistfighting, blood, comedy, drama, and general awesomeness follow. A classic in Japan, but altogether unknown in the west (except in France, under the title "Racailles Blues".) Made into two live-action movies, two anime movies, and recently adapted to a J-Drama.
