Battle Club (Japanese: バトルクラブ? Hepburn: Batoru Kurabu) is a manga series written and illustrated by Yuji Shiozaki, the creator of Ikki Tousen. The series follows Mokichi & Tamako, two high school students who are members of the Swan Academy Wrestling Club. This manga is noted for its extensive amount of fan service.
The following is the storyline of the six volumes of Battle Club. Each volume is subdivided into Rounds. After volume 6 the manga is followed by a sequel called Battle club 2nd stage; currently it has released 2 volumes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
