Tenjho Tenge (天上天下 Tenjō Tenge) is a seinen anime and manga series drawn and written by the manga-ka Oh! great (大暮 維人 Ōgure Ito).
The manga is currently running in Shueisha's Ultra Jump in Japan. The manga is being officially published in North America through DC Comics' CMX imprint. The CMX English manga is edited to reduce the sexuality; the editing made many North American Tenjho Tenge fans angry at CMX. The anime is currently broadcasting in Japan, and it is translated into English in Geneon's DVD release.
