Have you ever tried to work on some important errand or duty, only to be interrupted and delayed by some thoughtless person who doesn't get that you're busy, and wished that you could just punch the motherfucker in the face and get back to work?

SWOT is that feeling made into a Shonen series.
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/swot/

Basically, an obsessive study freak goes to the school of his dreams to work towards towards getting into university, only to find out too late that the school is now a shithole where every other student is a violent thug straight out of 'Shonen Bad Guys cliche list', all aiming to be the strongest fighter in school. Naturally they turn on our hero, who wastes no time in kicking everyone's ass, aided by a delinquent girl who wants to be a teacher.

It's early days, but I'm quite enjoying this series so far. The fight scenes are great, the plot is nicely over the top, and I love the main character. It's a refreshing change to see a hero whose reason for fighting isn't love or justice (mostly) but because everyone around him is a complete asshat who deserves to be punched.

Too bad this will get canned along with Oumagadoki Doubutsuen.

Sadly, this. Does it have a compelling hook? Otherwise, I'll likely pass.

Does SWOT stand for anything in particular?

>>The BIRTH RATE IS DECLINING BUT THE INCEPTION OF DELIQUENTS IS INCREASING.

The characters aren't the only thing that is by the numbers. It's like this guy shoved in any Japanese buzz word or kid slang he could into the beginning to get things started.

Isn't this Cromartie High School?

You've never heard the term 'swot' for an obsessive student?

Yeah, but while Chromartie focused on turning everyone into a good comedy group this seems to have absorbed the joke it tried to make and become another school brawler. I'm also not sure I like how he changed the characters after the one shot. They're all a little more bland than their first incarnation, not to mention more drama prone.
