| Quote: | | Six minors (16 or 17 years) answering the nicknames of Joe, Mario, Suppon, Baremoto, Biceps and Cauliflower integrate a reformatory for more or less serious offences (aggravated assault, swindle, flight...). The hell reveals its flames before even as they do not pose their feet in prison. Accomodated by a doctor paedophile, they are placed under the monitoring of a despotic and brutal screw. Companions of cell of certain Sakuragi (called Anchan), the tension goes up between the band of buddies and their new "friend". A brawl bursts and our six prisoners are done rossés by mysterious young man thanks to his talents of boxer. Consequently, we will follow the martyrdom of these seven characters, their survival, escape bids to the machinations of Ishihara and Doctor Sasaki, their disillusions due to the rejection by the external world and their close relations passed, and the birth of a indéfectible friendship between the young boys. |
Have to check out spirit of the sun though, never got around to it. |

| Like the Kodansha awards, these are really more of a popularity contest than actual awards warrented on critical acclaim. Pretty boring choices. Spirit is quite good, but it's like every other Kawaguchi manga ever created. I'm suprised they didn't cave in and give it to Pluto though. |
