Worst (Japanese: ワースト, Hepburn: Wāsuto) is a Japanese delinquent manga series written and illustrated by Hiroshi Takahashi. It has the same setting as Takahashi's previous manga Crows and and revolves around a group of teenage boys who fight their way through the notorious high school Suzuran.

The manga was first published by Monthly Shōnen Champion in 2001. The series is currently being serialized in Japan and has been collected into twenty-five tankōbon volumes. In North America, Digital Manga Publishing has released only three volumes, with the last graphic novel released in November 2004.[4] The series is currently on hiatus but Digital Manga Publishing has said that if enough fans show interest, they will consider continuing the series.[citation needed]
