The Tokyopop library is riddled with manga like this - no-name titles with a few interesting ideas that were unceremoniously dropped because no one bought them.
SHORT SUNZEN! (Shoto Sunzen!), by Susugi Sakurai. First published in 1999 and first published in North America in 2008.
PLOT:
Tama High is notorious as one of the roughest high schools in the area, and few of its students are as rough-and-tumble as Satsuki. Even though she's only a first year, she's more than ready to take on any challenge and find fun wherever she can. At her side is her best friend Sendou, who is absolutely smitten with Satsuki. How can he find the nerve to tell her how he feels when Satsuki won't stop getting into trouble and is seemingly oblivious to every romantic overture?
