Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox animanga/Header Template:Infobox animanga/Print Template:Infobox animanga/Video Template:Infobox animanga/Footer Template:Nihongo is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Norihiro Yagi. It was serialized in Shueisha's [[Shōnen manga|Template:Transl manga]] magazine Monthly Shōnen Jump from 1993 to 2000, with its chapters collected in Template:Transl 15 volumes. A two-episode original video animation (OVA) adaptation, animated by Toei Animation, was released in 1996.

Plot

The series follows Seiichirō Kitano, a kind and naive boy with the heart of an angel, but the sinister looks of a devil. This paired with his horrible luck and awkward social skills causes many misunderstandings, leading people to assume that he is a delinquent and heroin addict, and (unbeknownst to himself) results in a career as the head thug, or "school guardian" at his new school.
