Muneyuki Kaneshiro has reached new levels of renown thanks to his hugely popular sports manga series Blue Lock. However, the shonen sports manga is only one small aspect of Kaneshiro’s catalog of greater works. In fact, the darker, more introspective tinge of Blue Lock that helps it stand out from other sports series is actually indicative of many of his earlier works. In particular, one such series is criminally underrated and would fit in perfectly with the modern anime environment.We Did It, known as Boku-tachi ga Yarimashita in Japan, is exactly the kind of series that anime needs right now. It has already been made into a 2017 live-action series in Japan called Fugitive Boys that was apparently fairly well received, although it’s still largely flown under the radar. The manga series itself is a cult classic though, and it’s a powerful story that — despite its very grounded setting and concept — might actually work even better in anime.Across the street from Tobio’s school is yet another high school, and it is home to one of the worst gangs in town. The kids in the other school pick on and bully Tobio and his friends, interrupting what little normalcy Tobio does have in his life. When one particular bullying incident goes too far, the group decide to go to extremes to get revenge for their friend who was hurt. What starts out as an “innocent prank” becomes something much darker; even deadly. From that point on, the boys’ lives are forever altered, and it becomes clear that nothing can go back to normal for Tobio again.
