For the uninitiated, Crows Zero (based on the manga by Hiroshi Takahashi) tells the story of Genji Takiya, the son of a Yakuza boss, who enrolls in Suzuran All-Boys High School—a "Crow's Nest" of delinquents fighting for the top spot. It is chaotic, violent, and loud.

So, if you ever meet a Mongolian who has a faded leather jacket or a specific gravity-defying haircut, ask them about Suzuran. They won’t tell you it’s a Japanese story. They’ll tell you it’s the story of every kid who ever fought to prove their worth on the endless blue sky of the steppe.
