Description
This dark and intense drama is set in a boy's high school where Kujo becomes the official leader of a gang. Kujo must constantly defend his position by playing a dangerous rooftop game with the other boys vying for his position: the Clapping Game. Who wins the game gets to be the society's leader, and rules all gangs throughout Asashi High. No teacher can stand up to this society.

After a round of the Clapping Game, Kujo wins the leadership, which excites his best friend Aoki, who wants Kujo to dominate the school with punches of casual violence, but Kujo passively resists. Aoki eventually realizes his best friend only took part in the Clapping Game to pass the time, and that Kujo never wanted to be the school's leader. Devastated, he challenges Kujo for his leadership, and loses. As Aoki becomes disillusioned, alienated and hostile toward Kujo, friends around them slowly fall apart, bringing their school to a series of mini violent climaxes.

This manga has also been made into a film which written and directed by Toshiaki Toyoda and released on June 29, 2002. Since its release it has become a cult classic in Japan and overseas.

The film title can be understood as "inexperienced years" or teenage years, but it also can be understood as "fresh start". According to manga artist Taiyou Matsumoto, the title is intended as a play on irony. It has shown in various festivals throughout the world.
