About this title

Synopsis

Whispering the name Seiichirou Kitano is enough to send shivers down the spine of any student at Hekikuu High. His fearsome looks make even the toughest of men scream, and if his appearance isn't off-putting enough, he is also known to be extremely brutal in fights. In a single day, he took out the school's top thug and became the new guardian. Now, the entire school is at his mercy, and anyone who dares to challenge him better be ready to meet their maker... or so the stories go. The truth is that all of the terrible rumors surrounding Seiichirou are misunderstandings, many assuming the worst about him because of his demon-like features. In reality, he is a kindhearted boy who goes out of his way to help others, but his attempts to do good deeds always get hilariously skewed and miscommunicated—which was the case when he became the new guardian. Time and time again, Seiichirou tries and fails to prove that he is not the demon that rumors make him out to be. He hopes to one day be able to have friends who look beyond his scary disposition and see him for what he truly is—an angel. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters

Seiichirou Kitano548 fan favorites
External profile
The main protagonist, a boy whose face inspires terror and despair in other people's hearts. His true nature is that of a kind-hearted boy, and his gentle and caring actions mostly frighten those around him. He is used to getting hit for no apparent reason at all, so he develops speed and reflexes which allow him to absorb the power of the blows. Although he has no martial arts skill and doesn't like violence, this developed skill in itself is enough to make any skilled fighter lose their will to fight, so he is technically unbeaten.

Yuuji Takehisa59 fan favorites
External profile
The strongest delinquent of Hekikuu high, previously expelled for beating up one of the teachers: after being defeated by Kitano, he proclaims himself his "little brother." He sports spiked bleached hair and has no eyebrows. After claiming loyalty to Kitano, he becomes less delinquent-like. He doesn't get into a lot of fight anymore (although he doesn't lose any of his fighting skill), nor does he skip classes, staying calm most of the time. His old, hot-blooded self, comes to the surface when someone tries to harm Kitano or himself. (Source: Wikipedia)

Seikichi Kuroda9 fan favorites
External profile
The former "guardian" of Hekikuu high. He's been a slave to the previous guardian for most of his high school life, and he thought he could enjoy being the guardian in his last year of school, but he is forced to resign soon after meeting Kitano. He's the most delinquent-like of the group, skipping lessons to smoke and provoking fights. Although he usually gets beaten up by others (Koiso Ryoko, Takehisa, other delinquents), he isn't physically weak—he is big and has a strong punch. The fact he is constantly defeated lies in his mind. He is easily scared and has tendency to panic. He is also simple-minded enough to be manipulated. Kuroda desperately tries to reserve a leftovers of his dignity by acting like a guardian before Ogisu and his sempai. Also he has one-sided crush on Ryoko. Ooshita and Tokiyama are his two lackeys/friends. Both of them have rarely been referred to by their actual names. Koide, the class president's assistant calls it a "miracle" that he was able to obtain their full names. As the story progresses, they realize Kuroda's weakness (and strengths, rarely good, though), but they kept on being loyal to him. Another piece of trivia from the author himself, Kuroda serves as a pivotal character at the very start of the series, when the author experienced a writer's block. (Source: Wikipedia)
