When Harimanada makes his grand entrance into the world of Sumo, he causes complete uproar throughout the entire arena. The novelty headmask is clearly not a good idea but not content with just ruffling the feathers of all the spectators, he sends the the entire Sumo Association into a frenzy when he arrogantly declares that he will surpass the legendary Futabayama's consecutive run of 69 victories.

A series of adventures featuring the one cat apparently everyone in the world owns... Michael.
Michael the orange tiger cat returns for another series of vignettes. The sketches this time include a three-part send-up of The Fugitive, the famous 1960's TV show. Richard Kimble is now a veterinarian on the lam (lamb?), running from a false conviction for a murder committed by "a man with overbite." Despite the omnipresent danger, he must stoop and intervene whenever he sees a cat (always Michael) suffering; after treating the patient, he plays a trick on the cat and runs away. (He's a fugitive, after all.) Another sketch draws parallels between wandering husbands and wandering house cats, who seem to have similar proclivities. Two more point out what happens when a cat's instincts run up against the requirements of baseball or pro wrestling.

Osu!! Karate Bu was popular in Japan, but never really caught on in the West. It is still respected and wildly acclaimed as the best 'delinquent shonen manga', and has influenced many other works, and even been parodied by some (Cromartie High School is a loving parody of this particular series).
The story initially focuses on Matsushita Tadashi, but the supporting character Takagi Yoshiyuki ended up becomign much more popular, so the manga's focus eventually shifted to him becoming the lead character.
