Dragons Rioting (Japanese: ドラゴンズ ライデン, Hepburn: Doragonzu Raiden) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsuyoshi Watanabe. The series is published by Fujimi Shobo in Japan and by Yen Press in the United States.
As a six-year-old, Rintaro is diagnosed Hentai Syndrome, a disease that could kill him if he becomes sexually aroused. To save him and provide a way for him to live as normal a life as possible, his father teaches him the ways to control his body and mind for ten years in the mountains. When he turns 16, he chooses to enroll into Nangokuren High School, which he believed to be the largest all-boys school in the country. In fact, it is the largest all-girls school that has just become coed. Rintaro now sees transferring out as his mission, but unfortunately for him, he has caught the eye of the three "Dragons", the female leaders of the three biggest factions at the school.
Tsuyoshi Watanabe began serializing the manga in the December issue of Fujimi Shobo's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Dragon Age on November 9, 2012.[1]
North American publisher Yen Press announced its license to the series at its panel at Sakura-Con on April 3, 2015.[2][3]

Nick Smith of ICv2 was unimpressed with the series, calling it "a disappointing step downward in quality for Yen Press". He gave the first volume two stars out of five, calling it "a weirdly unfunny high school martial arts harem comedy". He felt that the fanservice was excessive, despite its attempts to be self-referentially humorous, and opined that the series' only audience would be "readers who want to look at exaggerated, hyper-sexualized high school girls".[22]
Richard Gutierrez of The Fandom Post was much more positive toward the manga, giving it an A+. He wrote that "Tsuyoshi Watanabe has done a masterful job of comically combining Rintaro's suffering, dynamically over the top battles and buxom beauties to create a wonderful story of endurance within a harem atmosphere". Commenting on the fanservice, he wrote that "the average male reader will of course ogle the fanservice dotted across the pages, but it is a shame if you overlook the strong female leads", and questioned Yen Press' decision to rate the series as "mature" due to that element, believing it to be less harmful than the gore in series which had received a lower rating. He concluded by writing that "Dragons Rioting is a becoming a great story of suffering and friendship which I hope will extend into a complete franchise within the near future".[23]

Dragons Rioting (Japanese: ドラゴンズ ライデン, Hepburn: Doragonzu Raiden) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsuyoshi Watanabe. The series is published by Fujimi Shobo in Japan and by Yen Press in the United States.
Los Angeles, California, experienced a series of riots and civil disturbances from April 29 to May 3, 1992. Civil unrest began in South Central Los Angeles on April 29, after a jury acquitted four officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) charged with using excessive force in the arrest and beating of Rodney King. The incident, which had been videotaped by George Holliday, who was a bystander to the incident, was heavily reported on by various news and media outlets, such as CNN. The rioting took place in several areas in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and throughout Orange County, California, as thousands of people rioted over six days following the verdict's announcement. Widespread looting, assault, and arson occurred during the riots, which local police forces had difficulty controlling. The situation in the Los Angeles area was resolved after the California National Guard, United States military, and several federal law enforcement agencies deployed more than 10,000 of their armed responders to assist in ending the violence and unrest. When the riots ended, 55 people had been killed, 11 of them by the police or National Guard, 2,383 had been injured, more than 12,000 had been arrested, and estimates of property damage were over $1 billion, making it the most destructive period of local unrest in US history. Koreatown, situated just to the north of South Central LA, was disproportionately damaged because of racial tensions between the Black and Korean communities. Much of the blame for the extensive nature of the violence was attributed to LAPD chief of police Daryl Gates, who had already announced his resignation by the time of the riots, for failure to de-escalate the situation and overall mismanagement.
The 2005 French riots was a three-week long period of civil disturbances that took place in the suburbs of Paris and other French cities in October and November 2005. These riots involved youth in violent attacks, outbreaks of arson of vehicles and public buildings. The unrest started on 27 October at Clichy-sous-Bois, where police were investigating a reported break-in at a building site, and a group of local youths scattered in order to avoid interrogation. Three of them hid in an electrical substation where two died from electrocution, resulting in a power blackout (It was not established whether police had suspected these individuals or a different group, wanted on separate charges.). The incident ignited rising tensions about youth unemployment and police harassment in the poorer housing estates, and there followed three weeks of rioting throughout France. A state of emergency was declared on 8 November, later extended for three months. The riots resulted in more than 8,000 vehicles being burned by the rioters and more than 2,760 individuals arrested.
A riot dog is a stray dog that accompanies street protesters. The term originated during the 2008 Greek riots when a number of stray dogs remained among the protesters even when violent rioting broke out. A few riot dogs have acquired a large following of fans around the world such as the Greek Loukanikos and Negro Matapacos in Chile.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
