Real Bout High School is a six-volume manga written by Reiji Saiga with art by Sora Inoue and adapted into a 13 episode anime series. It is set in a school called Daimon High, where disagreements among the student body are settled by matches called K-Fights. (The "K" stands for "Kenka", meaning "Street Fight".)

[edit] Anime series

The events in the anime series take place after those in the manga. Ryoko Mitsurugi is the current K-Fight champion, whose skill at Kendo and her love for samurai dramas has led her to be known as the "Samurai Girl". One day, Ryoko finds a strange pendant which transports her to another dimension called Solvania, where she is expected to fight monsters.
