Barjona Bombers (バルヨナボンバーズ, Baruyona Bonbazu) is a webmanga by Hidekaz Himaruya, and is a spinoff series of the webmanga Advance! Kitakou Broadcasting Club Pure. It debuted in July 2004 with its first two chapters posted on the original host for the webcomic strips, Side-B.

The series focuses on a group of delinquents at Barjona Marine High School, who have to deal with reluctantly running their school's revived broadcasting club. The series inspired a game which introduced the character Yamato Nara, who would become the series break-out character and de facto lead. Characters from the series frequently crossed over into companion series Advance! Kitakou Broadcasting Club Pure, often to suffer abuse at the hands of lead character Noto Kanazawa.

The series also inspired a series of games later referred to as the Noto-sama series, which take place in the same universe as the original Gakuen Hetalia demo.

Synopsis

"...Because there is a ghost in the broadcasting room at this school."

"...Seriously? It's scary?"

"...Where is the broadcasting room?"

Barjona Marina High School is the strongest delinquent school in this prefecture. It's nicknamed "Bakajona". With delinquents around every 360 degrees at this school, the long-discontinued broadcasting club is being brought back! Or something like that. But it's too impossible. Because we're just a bunch of delinquents. Plus we don't have any experience with broadcasting. Ah, we just want to meet and be popular with cute girls!

Characters

Main article: Barjona Marine High School

Barjona started out with the focus on five delinquents at the school: Homare, Nomaru, Sunki, Kalom, and Tsuko. Supporting characters included other school faculty members such as Minato Mirai, and the strange being known as TERUKO.

Nacchan soon became part of the cast, and other characters would wind up added over time. Though a later addition to the series, Yamato Nara wound up becoming a popular character due to his involvement in the Noto-sama games.
