   I don't know what IGWP means, but WORST, I do - a heartily regretted purchase.   
   There   
   is fighting and violence in many high-school mangas (like Masanori Morita's   
   ROOKIES   
   or Takehiko Inoue's SLAM DUNK or Hiroya Oku's GANTZ), but it's just part of   
   the story.   
   In WORST, it seems to _be_ the story. I mean - there may be teenage punks out   
   there   
   whose sole goal in life is to fight other teenage punks, but... I just don't   
   find   
   them all that interesting.
