Avex Mode, the same folks who brought us the One Piece anime, are gearing up to release an animated version of Tenjo Tenge. As you may recall, Tenjo Tenge is a manga made available in English through the kindly efforts of mangatranslation.com. It entails the struggle between Nagi Souichiro and the Jyukenbo fighting club versus the insidious Enforcement Group. The manga is a high-quality school-ruffian/martial arts drama with some adult themes interspersed. Fugu Tabetai, the fan scanslator of the manga, has done a great job of bringing this title to us, even going so far as to personally host Bittorrents for each of the first ten volumes. Fansubbed versions of the anime may not be available through reputable organizations, as Geneon Animation already has distribution rights to it before it has even aired in Japan.
WOW! I just saw this for the first time and it blew me away. Where can i buy the mangas in english?
Alas, there is no proper English release of Tenjo Tenge. Check out http://www.mangatranslation.com/ for a fan translation of it. Volume 1-10 is available as a single bit torrent, and most of Volume 11 has been translated and released on that site. Volume 12 hasn’t been printed yet as a tankoban, but raws are available up to and including chapter 74, which was released just last month in Japan in Ultra Jump.
You can get the original Japanese version of the comic from online stores such as AnimeNation.com or at your local Kinokuniya.

CMX comics has Tenjo Tenge out, with an odd romanization to the name: Tenjho Tenge. I understand they edited out a lot of the Oh! Great signature ecchi, but that’s to be expected considering that DC Comics is the parent company of this publisher.
hoy mnga manyakis anhi sa akoa lami diari logara!
It think Tenjo is great but still need improvement why dont you pattern somethings under the Dragon Ball Saga or make something that has the influence style ofMiyazaki’s works….
