Oira Sukeban (Japanese: おいら女蛮; "I'm Sukeban"), sometimes called Sukeban Boy, is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Go Nagai, serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 1974 to 1976.[2] It is a comedy with several erotic touches, where the protagonist Banji Suke (or Sukeban) is accidentally enrolled in a new school as a girl, and he goes along with the farce. He intends it to only be temporary, but he accidentally commits to a long-term deception. As Sukeban is a rebellious boy, this situation creates several comedic troubles.

The manga was adapted to an OVA in 1992,[3] and was released by ADV Films in the US under the name Delinquent in Drag.[1] This OVA changed the premise to him deliberately pretending to be a girl to attend an all-female school.

It has also spawned two live-action movies, Oira Sukeban: Kessen! Pansutō (おいら女蛮 決戦!パンス党) in 1992 starring actor Shinji Takeda, and Oira Sukeban (called mostly Sukeban Boy) in 2006 starring AV idol Asami (亜紗美).
