SWOT (a Japanese term for a nerd who studies too much) is a battle manga about academic genius Manabizaki Kyou. He’s a brand new student at the notorious Skeleton Highschool, who’s transferred to improve his chances of getting into Tokyo University. However, It turns out that Skeleton Highschool isn’t known for its academic rigor, but rather for the constant student brawling. Kyou and his group of friends now have to become the strongest fighters in the school to bring peace, all while balancing their studies.
