Rika Furude had always known Hinamizawa as her home, finding comfort in the peaceful mountain village and the company of her friends. However, she longed for something more and wished to share her desire with her best friend, Satoko Houjou. Rika yearned to attend the prestigious St. Lucia Academy, where she could receive a refined education far from their rustic surroundings. Despite initial hesitation, Satoko agreed to take the difficult entrance exams, and they both embarked on a new journey. At St. Lucia Academy, Rika effortlessly adapted to the high-class atmosphere, showcasing her innate elegance and composed demeanor. On the other hand, Satoko struggled to fit in, relying on Rika's support to get by. However, as Rika befriended a sophisticated clique of girls, Satoko's isolation grew, and her academic performance suffered. Their friendship deteriorated until it became irreparable, with Satoko driven to despair by her increasing feelings of loneliness. Succumbing to a dark impulse, she committed an unfathomable act.
The series began as a fairly humorous and lighthearted satire of Japan\'s teenage delinquent-gang subculture told from the perspective of Matsushita Tadashi (who also narrates these early Karate Bu stories), a 2nd year student at Kangokou High and a constant target of Kangokou\'s numerous bullies who beat him up routinely after school. He is almost always accompanied by his best friend Saitou Takaki, who is also constantly harassed. As the pair grow increasingly tired of being victimized they decide to join the titular Karate Club, which is notorious throughout Osaka\'s youth gangs for training and producing the city\'s most hardened and toughest teenage thugs while maintaining the facade of a legit school sports club. But when they join the club, they find themselves picked on just as much if not worse by the club\'s current members. But as the story progresses they grow to be increasingly capable fighters. Along with the manga\'s change in attitude and central character, the various teenage fighters throughout the series grew increasingly stronger and even began to tap into superhuman ki abilities, putting Osu!! Karate Bu in the company of other similar epic Shōnen fighting manga such as Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, and Fist of the North Star. Osu!! Karate Bu was wildly popular in its native Japan, but is otherwise almost completely unknown in most other countries. It spawned a four episode OVA mini-series released over a period of two years from 1990-1992, a 1990 live action movie, and a 1994 Super Famicom fighting game.
