Storyline
The following is the storyline of the six volumes of Battle Club. Each volume is subdivided into Rounds. After volume 6 the manga was followed by a sequel called Battle club 2nd stage; which ran for 3 volumes.Volume 1
* Round 1 Mokichi attempts to make his mark as the dominant male at Swan Academy Senior High School by beating everyone with a baseball bat. Unimpressed, a senior student punches him into Tamako. Mokichi challenges Tamako, who soundly beats him. Mokichi is stripped of his pants and tied to a fence half-naked. Embarrassed, he enters the Swan Wrestling Club where he witnesses Tamako being punished for failing in an errand. Seeing the girl who beat him be beaten, he requests to join the club. * Round 2 In order to join the Swan Wrestling Club, Mokichi must move Tamako, who is in a lying position. Unable to move her with traditional means, he strips her panties, startling Tamako, and then flips her. * Round 3 Mokichi is beaten up in the bathroom by a group of students. He is saved by Rentarou Taki, the president of the wrestling club. Taki challenges Mokichi to train harder if he ever wants to truly be strong. * Round 4 Tamako is late getting to school to take an exam. She decides to run rather than take the train. She strips off extra weight and clothes to become more aerodynamic. She witnesses Mokichi being beaten once again and comes to his rescue, losing even more clothes in the process. * Round 5 With Tamako unconscious from the previous fight, Mokichi is at the mercy of the school Karate Club. Vice-Captain, Higuchi, comes to his rescue this time. After defeating the Karate Club, she takes her aggression out on Tamako for failing. * Round 6 Unable to concentrate on his training with Tamako, Mokichi goes to the bathroom to "rub one out". While there, he witnesses the Karate club being punished by their leader, Shiba. After beating her fellow club members, she declares war on the Karate Club. Mokichi decides to warn the others. * Round 7 Shiba discovers Mokichi and begins to fight him. Tamako discovers the two of them and is challenged by Shiba. Shiba's blows have no effect on Tamako. Shiba uses the forbidden "kamehamehou" move and exhausts her ki. Shiba is left defeated. * Round 8 Shiba experiences sexualVolume 2
* Round 1 Tamako has lost 3000 yen. She enters a curry eating contest for 5000 yen. While there, a mysterious dark-skinned girl with large breasts keeps up with plate for plate. Tamako gets the 5000 yen and earns another handed to her by the girl before seeing the mystery girl run away. Meanwhile, the club is training. The mystery girl appears and announces herself as Kuniko Mukoda, a member of the Black Dragon Wrestling CLub, the team that made it as finalists during the preceding year's interhigh wrestling tournament. She has been hired by Tondemon to challenge the club, and even proudly states that "she's more than enough" for the whole club. In a match she immediately proves herself capable of living up to this claim, easily outclassing Vice-Captain Higuchi and winning over in points. Mukoda pins Higuchi, forcing the latter to contemplate the skills her superb opponent has shown so far, as well as buxom physique (Mukoda was smothering her with her breasts), while, when Higuchi suddenly broke out of Mukoda's pin, followed by a quick maneuver in an attempt to suplex the latter. Unfortunately, Mukoda used her leg to effectively counter Higuchi's suplex and Higuchi once again found herself pinned; only this time, she's face-to-face with Mukoda's crotch. Positioned for a fall, Higuchi became desperate, attempted to de-stabilize Mukoda by jamming her index finger through Mukoda's anus - the same trick which Taki used against Tamako much earlier. Mukoda was unfazed, however, saying that she's "had bigger things up her 'back door'", and then proceeds to finish Higuchi off while at the same time, telling her that she's the weakest member from the Black Dragon Academy Club, completely ignoring Tondemon's protests. Mukoda ultimately defeats Higuchi, and it was only moments after that that Tamako arrived. * Round 2 Tamako challenges Mukoda to a match to avenge her teammates. And as a gesture of fair play, Mukoda proposed that Tamako only needs to score one point to win. A battle ensues where Tamako experienced more difficulty against Mukoda than Higuchi had. During the match, she learned that Mukoda, even while in a casual stance, has little to no weak spots (with her breasts making her a difficult target no less), so Tamako resorted to a feint and managed to penetrate Mukoda's defenses for her to lift Mukoda off her feet. Unfortunately, before she could complete the move, Mukoda subjected Tamako to the same humiliating technique Higuchi used on her in the previous chapter. Tamako yelped in pain and she should as Mukoda was gripping her posteriors with one of her fingers stabbing Tamako's tender anus. Mukoda was thankful for being subjected to the same humiliation before by Higuchi, otherwise she'd have lost to Tamako by now, and proceeded to further penetrate Tamako's anus, causing the humiliated girl incapacitating pain. Mukoda then proceeds to use one finishing move after another against Tamako, who showed intense stamina and endurance. This forces Mukoda to apply a Butterfly Suplex, causing a significant amount of damage on the gym. Mukoda leaves victorious with Tondemon, who thanks her for helping him to demonstrate to the club to take training more seriously when Mukoda suddenly trips. It turns out she didn't walk away from her match against Tamako scratch-free. * Round 3 Higuchi is demoralized and contemplating quitting the wrestling club. Tondemon is telling stories of the club's past. Tamako is inspired to get stronger for the sake of Higuchi and she sets off with Mokichi to find Higashi, the coach of the club at its peak. They set off to the mountains of Shinshuu to find him. Tamako braves several challenges and eventually finds Higashi, who is in fact Tondemon Sensai. * Round 4 Tamako and Mokichi are working Higashi's field as part of their training. Higashi then presents them with a challenge. They must simply touch a panda he claims to have raised for 20 years. Mokichi gives up easily, but Tamako does not and eventually plucks a few hairs from the panda before she collapses unconscious. The panda is revealed to be Captain Taki, who was naked inside a panda suit. Meanwhile, Higuchi is challenged to a fight, but backs down in fear. A side-effect of her loss to Kuniko, Higuchi gets beaten up as a result. * Round 5 Mokichi and Tondemon are watching the girls naked in a hot spring. Taki wrestles with Tamako naked. Shiba is also at the hot spring with the wrestling club. In a flashback we find she had saved Higuchi from her challenge in the previous chapter, and Higuchi teases Shiba about her infatuation with Tamako. The naked girls find only Mokichi watching them and give him a serious pounding. Later, Tondemon tells the club about secret scrolls guarded by four guardians that reveal secret martial arts training. Tamako and Mokichi set off to get the scrolls. * Round 6 Tamako has charged off in search of the scrolls. She and Mokichi are attacked by dogs and Mokichi is already willing to give up. Here they meet Jikoku, one of the four kings of heaven. He places a key in the middle of an unstable foot bridge. Tamako and Mokichi must get the key in order to win the challenge. Mokichi charges towards the key, but breaks a board and falls through. He is hung up on a splinter of wood. Tamako begins on the bridge to save Mokichi, but she is too heavy on the unstable bridge. To lighten herself, she strips all of her clothes except her underpants It works. * Round 7 Tamako is still naked and still moving towards Mokichi and finally saves him. Jikoku had not moved from his place on the bridge out of fear of breaking it. Therefore, Tamako is declared the winner of the challenge. Jikoku goes to give Tamako the key, but the bridge now breaks. Mokichi is safe, but Tamako and Jikoku fall. Tamako grabs Jikoku and somehow grow butterfly wings and flies Jikoku to safety. She continues to fall and lands in the water below. She awakens at the bottom on land to be greeted by a small girl in a bathing suit. She is Koumoku, another of the four kings.Volume 3
* Round 1 Koumoku challenges Tamako (still naked) to find the next key at the bottom of the river she has just thrown it into. Tamako makes several attempts, but fails. On land, she learns from Kongoa that Koumoku has become like a fish because of an event with her father and an axe that holds his spirit. Koumoku had lost her father's axe in the river attempting to lift it. For some reason, Koumoku's father does not wear pants. Tamako had seen the axe while looking for the key and dives in to retrieve it. * Round 2 Tamako guides Koumoku to the axe, but while attempting to lift it, Koumoku becomes pinned underneath the axe. Koumoku now realizes that it was not the axe her father care about, but her. Tamako dives again and saves Koumoku, but passes out when she has freed Koumoku. Now, Koumoku saves Tamako and brings her to the surface. Because Tamako saved Koumoku, she admits defeat and awards Tamako the key. * Round 3 Tamako, finally with a shirt, has returned to Mokichi who has been battling the third of the elite four, Zouchou. Zouchou attacks Tamako and Shiba steps in to the fight. Shiba becomes distracted when she inadvertently sees Tamako's nipples. Mokichi throws Shiba onto Zouchou. Tamako takes this opportunity to run up to the shrine. Shiba continues to fight Zouchou and ultimately passes out. Higuchi appears and is now ready to fight Zoucho, but still afraid, she cowers. Molkichi takes the opportunity to sneak attach Zouchou and takes a beating. Higuchi now becomes brave and challenges Zouchou, who she now has recognized as Sensai Tondemon. * Round 4 Flashback to when Higuchi was new to the school. Higuchi beats up boys and the president of theVolume 4
* Round 1 Tamako is invited to join a secret organization called Nightmare of Battle (NOB). Mokichi, still infatuated with the mystery girl, rejoins the wrestling club to get stronger. At night, he seeks her out and stumbles across NOB. They find him and the mystery girl is ready to punish him. * Round 2 The girl is identified as Ijyuin Shizuka, an NOB punisher. She tells Mokichi that she has to kill him for his trespassing on NOB. She challenges to Mokichi that if he can lay even one finger on her, he wins. She beats him badly, but he is able to touch her and wins. Shizuka leaves in shame. * Round 3 The Swan Academy Wrestling Club has their first practice match with Shark Island High School. Many of the wrestlers were seen in the NOB fight the night before. The school is in bad shape, students do drugs and a girl is having sex with three boys in the men's bathroom. Mokichi decides to use the women's bathroom instead. A girl going to the bathroom beats him up. * Round 4 Mokichi is first for the practice match and his opponent is the girl who just beat him up in the bathroom. She does whatever it takes to win, including illegal moves. Mokichi accidentally strips Ono Imoko of her uniform. Tamako becomes sick from a drink Papa had made for her. * Round 5 The fight between Imoko and Mokichi continues and he is losing badly, but his endurance keeps him going throughout the match. Finally, he sees and opening, takes it and flips her. The blast destroys the Space Shuttle orbiting the Earth. They both end up in theVolume 5
* Round 1 Mokichi is determined to raise Tamako's spirit by bringing her to the movies, dinner and a romantic roof top. However, Akutagawa is on the roof top in the middle of an NOB fight that he is losing. After the fight, the victor, Dazai, drops his NOB bracelet and leaves. Tamako pursues him rooftop to rooftop. * Round 2 Akutagawa tells Mokichi that the fight was part of the NOB Death Tournament. Tamako catches Dazai who challenges her to a fight if she can catch him. Dazai runs off and in the process of chasing him, Tamako loses her panties. She catches up to him, grabs him and they fall together off the roof. * Round 3 Tamako is unconscious and Dazai runs off before Mokichi shows up. Back at the wrestling club, Tamako asks Tondemon to teach her other martial arts to incorporate into wrestling. He violently refuses stating that he will not make that mistake again as he did with her. Meanwhile, Higuchi is having a naked, lesbian fantasy before she is interrupted to attend a meeting. Tamako is identified as the next target of NOB. * Round 4 Mokichi meets up with Jikoku, who it now appears is also a member of NOB. Jikoku attacks Mokichi and tells him he will take his arm off. Meanwhile, Higuchi is attacked by Koumoku, another of the elite four and member of NOB. * Round 5 Koumoku attacks Higuchi with weapons and throws her from a rooftop into the water. It is revealed that Komouku and other members of NOB practice collective martial arts and not simply wrestling. Higuchi is underwater and is about to be killed, but she regains consciousness and her strength to battle Koumoku. Tamako is given a message to go through the sewers to meet Tondemon. * Round 6 Higuchi now has the upper hand on Koumoku who gets her to give up by tickling her. Tondemon is now challenged by Mukoda and the fight between Mokichi and Jikoku continues. Tamako went through the sewers as instructed, only to find a trap by Dazai. Before fighting, she falls asleep. Mokichi calls upon his kiai for super strength and defeats Jikoku. * Round 7 Tamako awakens to find Dazai waiting for her. Rather than fight her, Dazai tells her about NOB's plot to destroy the Swan Academy Wrestling Club and advises her to leave. Mokoda and Tondemon continue to fight a fierce battle while Mokichi finds Higuchi and Tamako jumps on a plank in the sewer that she attempts to ride to find the others. She falls in and Dazai saves her, but they are both now taken by the current. * Round 8 Tamako and Dazai awaken on dry land after going over a waterfall. Tamako continues her pursuit to find the others. She finds Tondemon, Higuchi and Mokichi unconscious when she is attacked by Mokoda. Tamako and Mukoda fight with Mokichi mildly interfering. Tamako questions why Mukoda is doing this. * Round 9 The fight between Tamako and Mukoda continues when Dazai interferes. He instructs Tamako to take the others and run while he now fights Mokoda. Tamako carries all three to safety. Tondemon awakens and tells a story of Mokouda. In the flashback, Mokouda was a student of Tondemon's where he was grooming her to be the next champion in the spirit of Tamami, Tamako's mother. He is exceptionally hard on her to the point where Mokouda questions whether or not he likes her. She overhears him talking about her in comparing her to Tamami. She is offended and pledges to kill Tondemon when she becomes stronger than him.Volume 6
* Round 1 Tamako and Mukoda continue their epic battle. Tondemon confesses to Taki that he set Tamako up to fight Mukoda because he wanted Mukoda to understand the true value of wrestling. Mukoda beats Tamako and begins to realize Tondemon's intentions. Tondemon arrives and explains himself, the two once again engage in battle. Tamako awakens to see Mukoda lying beside her unconscious drooling. Tondemon leaves and is never seen again. This ends the main storyline of Battle Club. The remaining rounds are short stories focused on the ancillary characters. * Round 2 (Shiba) Shiba continues to fantasize about her and Tamako having sex. She awakens from her fantasy to find herself in the middle of her class, and breaking her desk in half. She later spots Tamako with Mokichi after she detected the former through her "Tamako-sense". Shiba follows the two in the train, where she took the opportunity to grope around Tamako's privates; Tamako was able to grab Shiba's hand before she could go any further and, thinking quickly, Shiba made the excuse that she was testing Tamako's physique and remarks that she should be with the Karate club. Contented with this explanation, Tamako and (a not-so-convinced) Mokichi invite Shiba to join them at the Community Sports Center for some physical rehab. At first she refuses, but then does not pass up the opportunity to see Tamako naked as well as the chance of scrubbing her back. Events then begin to play out as they had in her dream. Tamako challenges Shiba to see who can stay in the sauna the longest, with the loser joining the other's club. Shiba, at first, tries to refuse, but gives in after Tamako dares her for being afraid to lose. Tamako "wins" (not really, on account that she fainted) and Shiba joins the wrestling club (after recovering from trauma brought about by the experience). Mokichi decides to peep in on the women's side of the sauna and is arrested when he is discovered. * Round 3 (Taki) Taki tells the story of why he dresses as a girl and has amazing sweater puppies. The story goes back to when he was younger and bullies made him wear a skirt. A girl, Kaneko, sees the boys harassing what she believes to be a girl and thwarts them. She believes Taki to be a girl and encourages Taki to join her school, which is all-female, so he continues the guise. Kaneko trains Taki in wrestling, but Kaneko is challenged by the boys she once humiliated and Taki steps in. The boys identify Taki as the boy they once bullied and Kaneko now knows the truth and Taki leaves for Swan Academy. Taki then tells to Tamako and Mokichi that he just made up the story, but perhaps it was true. * Round 4 (Higuchi) Higuchi has recovered from her injuries, but is not allowed out of her home. We realize now that she comes from a very wealthy family. She wishes to leave the home and even tempts her guard with her breasts. Tamako and Mokichi decide to rescue her. Tamako endures several obstacles, guards and traps to eventually find Higuchi, only to find it was a contest between her, Taki and the guard. Higuchi had won and is now allowed to leave the house. * Round 5 (Akutagawa) Tamako, Mokichi and Shiba go to a restaurant to eat to find it is owned by Akutagawa's family and he works there. The restaurant is hounded by loan sharks, his parents have divorced and his father is hospitalized. Also, a similar business across the street, called Kanna Miller's, is using large breasted waitresses to attract customers. The club decides to help Akutagawa's business by working there and also using Tamako's "assets" as a waitress. Kana Miller's steps it up and their waitresses become even more "friendly". Akutagawa's restaurant hosts a contest where if the customer eats a bowl ofCharacters
;Mokichi Saitou :Mokichi is the main protagonist of the story. He is a bit of a loser and weakling. He is the only male member of the school wrestling club, (Taki doesn't count) which he does not mind at all. He enjoys the close wrestling moves and training with the girls, especially Tamako, on whom he has a crush. His drive to become stronger is topped only by his perverted nature, as he's been known to subconsciously outlast more powerful opponents in dangerously prolonged battles from time to time. ;Tamako Kaneda :Tamako is a natural wrestler with incredible moves. However, she is very clumsy and often injures herself. She is absent minded often forgetting the names of people she just met, where she was going and what she was doing. A running throughout the (both) series is that her opponents frequently defeat Tamako, often by exploiting her "Achilles' Heel" kancho, which is by stuffing a finger through her nether regions (her anus or rectum) to trump her in any match. She has a never ending quest for Pocari for Higuchi. She is the heroine of the story and is ogled over by male and female characters in the story. ;Tondemon Higashi :Head coach of the Wrestling Club and a "dirty old man." He led Swan Academy to eight successive all-Japan championships when Tamami was a member of the club. He is also one of the elite four, Zouchou. He had a falling out with Mukoda, who now wishes to hunt him down. ;Rentarou Taki :Captain of the wrestling club. He is a cross-dresser but also has an incredible female body with large breasts, small waist and curvy hips. However, Taki is biologically male (hence him possessing male genitalia despite being physically female). He transferred to Swan Academy when he was kicked out of Black Cat Academy, an all-girls school. ;Higuchi Ichiyo :Vice-Captain of the Wrestling Club and a lesbian who has the hots for Tamako. While a capable fighter (believed to be her school's strongest fighter), Higuchi, like Shiba with Tamako (whom Shiba is infatuated with), tends to get distracted easily during matches when fighting at the presence of buxom fighters like Mukoda or Kumouko. After losing a battle (handed to her by Mukoda), she lost her heart and will to fight, only to regain it much later in the first series. She is nicknamed "Queen of the Vampires". She also comes from a very wealthy family that owns a chain of restaurants among other things. Despite being a lesbian, she does not make a move on Tamako but certainly doesn't miss an opportunity to grope the girl's proportions during wrestling practices. ;Shiba Ryoutarou :At first an adversary of the wrestling club, but she quits the Karate Club after having lesbian fantasies of Tamako. She is Mokichi's rival in both love and battle. A powerful fighter in her own right, Shiba specializes in using ki-based moves that further enhance her physical attacks to incredible degrees. ;Kuniko Mukoda :Member of the Black Dragon Academy wrestling club. She has very large breasts and no shame in displaying them in public as she changes into her wrestling uniform in front of the crowd. A skilled wrestler, having bested Tamako not one but twice. Despite her skill, she is not above resorting to foul play, as seen when she incapacitated Tamako by using her finger to penetrate Tamako's rectum. She is referred to as "Tits McGee" by Mokichi and "Juggy McGee" by Tondemon. She originally attended Swan Academy, she quits after being emotionally hurt by Tondemom. She vowsReception
