SWOT is a new manga by Sugita Naoya. Its about a guy named Manabizaki Kyou that studies all the time which earns him the nickname SWOT. He transfers into a school that he thinks that can get him to his dream job which is he wants to be a scientist for NASA and find UFO`s. What he didnt know when he tranfered in is that the school is full of delinquents who disturb him when hes studies, and thats when he goes of the rail because.This manga I like because the lead guy is funny and when it comes to anything other than studying (like ... friends or a romanitc relationships with the famous ex girl delinquent) and being a smart person he doesnt know how to explain it.His right hand man, Iwashida though is just like another weak and small school boy who doesnt know how to fight and when he gets rescued by Manabizaki for all of the rest of the manga Iwashida idolizes him. Hasuno Nene, the female main lead is a ex delinquent who gets mixed up with Manabizaki and Iwashida and becomes friends with them slowly. This manga I like very much and the characters are really easy to like. It has a bunch of potenical.

The second manga I've ever read. To put it in two words: It's alright.
Story: It had direction and it had a goal so yeah the plot line was good I knew where I as a reader would be going after the first few chapters.
Art: Not great, all the characters look pretty similar to me.
Character: Yes large variety, but no development I guess? One shot, so yes very short and probably reason why there was little character change except for in the end the protagonist realizes there's more to life than being a astronaut. (If you don't get the joke read the manga)
Enjoyment: So yes ... good for a light read I would have probably have kept on reading just because of it's plot line if it had been longer so the ending in my opinion was abrupt.
So a 6 overall hope this was useful, happy manga reading!

At first the series held a lot of promise. I liked the concept of a strong main character who only wants to study in a delinquent school and beats the crap out of anyone who disturbs him but deep down is a caring individual who would do anything for his friends.

Then the story (and the fighting) spiraled out of control and I found it hard to really focus on what the main storyline was. Ending with a completely random hasty ending I was very disappointed with the author. The story had so much potential which is why this series is so disappointing.
