Nanbaka (ナンバカ?), also known as Nanbaka - The Numbers, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shō Futamata. An anime television series adaptation by Satelight began airing on 5 October 2016. The title is a play on words, combining the name of the prison, which is the Japanese transcription of the word "number", and the Japanese word "baka" for "fool" or "idiot".
The story centers around four young men who are assigned to Nanba, the world's most formidable prison. Jyugo, who attempted to break out of prison and ended up extending his jail time; Uno, who likes gambling and women; Rock, who likes eating and fighting; and Nico the ex drug addict who likes anime. The action follows the daily lives of the prison’s inmates and guards.
One of the Guards. Often covers for building 13 when the prisoners escape. He has a loud rockstar-like personality. Often saying things like, "Remember this is still a comedy anime!", when things get serious in the plot.
Shō Futamata began serializing the manga on NHN PlayArt's Comico manga app on 13 October 2013. The series is published in print by Futabasha.Crunchyroll Manga acquired the series for digital publication in English.
