With short-form episodes and prone to abandoning storylines for full-on chaos, Cromartie High School is from an age where comedy could be pure wacky silliness – and they didn’t need an all-female cast of cuteblobs to do it. Just a robot and a Freddy Mercury.

Where To Start The Cromartie High School Manga After The Anime?
The Cromartie High School manga is one of those series that is best started from Chapter 1.
Cromartie High School, as you might expect, given its plot built almost completely on the foundation of random wackiness, skips around the manga quite a bit. Even in the very first episode, it had already skipped past a number of chapters that it would never return to.
The thing about the Cromartie High School manga is that a number of chapters simply would not have transferred well to being animated, but a lot of jokes work even better in animated form – and the manga often chose chapters with jokes that would work better in an anime.
When comparing the Cromartie High School anime to the manga, it often feels like the anime was picking its very favorite chapters rather than trying to do any sort of linear adaptation of the series.
You will see moments from the anime all the way up through around Chapter 125, but many chapters were skipped along the way and it is definitely not recommended to start there. Though, given the nature of the story, it wouldn’t be too difficult to start the manga in any single place once you knew the characters since it is all jokes.
Is The Cromartie High School Manga Over?
The Cromartie High School manga is complete. It ended in 2006 with Chapter 335.
Alongside the single-volume Mechazawa-kun spin-off, you can enjoy the Cromartie High School: Staff Room spin-off manga which started in 2018 and is still ongoing.
Will There Be A Cromartie High School Season 2?
As the anime aired in 2003 and the manga ended in 2006, a Cromartie High School Season 2 seems unlikely.
