Hinako thought she didn't have any family, but on the day that she starts high school, her twin brother Hikaru suddenly appears and tricks her into taking his place. But the new school Hinako attends instead is beyond unusual. Now she must fight her way to the top of Shishiku Academy, an all-boys school of delinquents!

“Kenka Bancho Otome is a play on the fighting game genre, but in this series the heroine Hinako must battle the strongest guys in school to become the boss,” says Nancy Thistlethwaite, Senior Editor. “But she may break some hearts as well as noses along the way!”
