"A super exciting action comedy starring the inmates and guards of the world's most formidable prison."
Nanbaka 「ナンバカ」 is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shou Futamata and has collected 8 volumes thus far, and updates weekly on Saturday. A 26-episode (25 episodes and 1 OVA) anime television series adaptation premiered in the Fall season on October 5, 2016, followed by another season airing on January 4, 2017. The title is a play on words, combining the name of the prison, which is the Japanese transcription of the word "number", and the Japanese word "baka" for "fool" or "idiot".
Shou Futamata began serializing the manga on NHN PlayArt's Comico manga app on October 13, 2013. The series is published in print by Futabasha. There is currently no official english translation.
