Books

Fiction:

Live-action:

Animated:

  • Prison School (inside all the juvenile raunch, the BDSM and nipple-hair jokes, in the broad manzai-style comedy familiar from anime comedies like Cromartie High, beats a full-metal shonen heart of gold as the protagonists become nakama and learn the value of manly friendship. Combined with the fairly intricate plotting, I enjoyed PS more than I expected.)
