Mr. Lim's Jjang must be considered one of the most exciting school duke'em out yet. His art improves dramatically as the series is carried out, topping out around issue 10. I think the story only gets better after the artist taking over the writing portion as well. One thing that made me stop short of 5 stars is that in Mr.Lim's obvious concern for young readers worshiping the characters and trying to immitate them, he puts too much emphasis on parental and educational care, which makes it somewhat corny.

The story is about main character 'Hyun Sang Tae' and his often involuntary fights against rival 'fighters' from his and other schools through out the city of Inchon. His girlfriend grows tired of his seemingly endless attraction to fights, leaves him. In short, it is a story about true strong young men trying to become bosses of their peers.
