Tenjho Tenge (天上天下, Tenjō Tenge?) is a seinen anime and manga series drawn and written by the mangaka Oh! great (大暮 維人, Ōgure Ito?). The title is said to be from the saying of the Buddha when he was born: \"天上天下唯我独尊 (Tenjō Tenge Yuiga Dokuson)\" which means \"I alone am honored on Heaven and Earth.\" [1]
The manga is currently running in Shueisha's Ultra Jump in Japan. The manga is being officially published in North America through DC Comics' CMX imprint. The CMX English manga is edited to reduce the sexuality and market it with a T (Teen - 13 Yrs and older) rating, a controversial move in the eyes of many North American fans. The anime is currently broadcasting in Japan, and it is translated into English in Geneon's DVD release.
There is also a 2-episode OVA named Tenjho Tenge ULTIMATE FIGHT.
