Shirokin is going co-ed?!
In Gokusen 9, Miura-san, having failed to trap Shin, hatches up a new scheme with the foundation chairman — as the notorious school prepares to go co-ed?! To attract new students of the female persuasion, an open house is held to welcome kawaii third-year junior high students to the delights of Shirokin education. Fighting and swearing are, of course, banned. So what's going to happen when Black Cross goons invade in search of Minami?
Meanwhile, Ippo faces his most cunning opponent yet, Take Keiichi, in volume 69 of Hajime no Ippo. Even though Ippo successfully knocks Keiichi down, the more experienced boxer has tricks, wrapped in ruses, inside schemes that Ippo has never even dreamed of.
As for Yugo The Negotiator 18—which is designated a Must-Have Manga—Yugo leaves for Santa Catalina on the trail of runaway Suzan Vicars. But when Yugo reaches the Vicars' house boat, he finds only Suzan's corpse, with face mutilated as to be almost unrecognizable. The police arrive not long after and charge Yugo with Suzan's murder. How will Yugo prove his innocence?
