SWOT

SWOT is a shonen manga series authored by Naoya Sugita, which began its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2010. The narrative centers on Manabu Kyousuke, a protagonist who uses his intellect and tactical prowess to resolve conflicts within a high school environment that is otherwise dominated by physical combat and delinquency. The series emerged during a competitive period for the magazine, attempting to blend the traditional fighting-manga aesthetic with a more cerebral approach to storytelling.

The design and artistic direction were helmed by Sugita, who utilized a clean, dynamic style typical of contemporary action manga. While the series was developed with the intent of subverting common tropes of the delinquent genre, it faced significant challenges in retaining its readership. Consequently, the run was relatively brief, and the collected volumes remain a distinct example of the experimental period in Jump's history during the early 2010s.
