Synopsis
Two carefree punk teens seek girls' attention and brawl with rival schools daily.
For the invincible and basically happy punk lads Hiroshi and Toru, what they care about every day is to get a lot of attention from girls and to win the fights against the lads from other schools. Whenever provoked, they just go out fighting and settle the situation no matter what it costs. (Source: AniDB)
