The first season aired in 2010 onTV Tokyo.[1]A second seasonMajisuka Gakuen 2was aired the following year.

The third season is set in a different continuity from the previous seasons, and was aired on July 13, 2012.

In 2015, the series moved toNTVand the fourth season, which returned to the same continuity as seasons 1 and 2, was aired on January 19, 2015. On the same year, a fifth season was announced and for the first time will be aired exclusively on internet, by the streaming siteHulu Japan,because NTV only broadcast the first two episodes on August 24 due to various scenes of violence, which did not justify full season showing on TV.[2]

A special spin-off from the fourth and fifth seasons of the series, titledMajisuka Gakuen 0: Kisarazu Rantōhen(マジすか học viên 0 mộc canh tân loạn đấu biên,Majisuka Academy 0: The story of the Brawl atKisarazu),is aprequelto season 4. It was the first to feature members ofHKT48as the main cast and was produced in collaboration with the rock bandKishidan.It was aired on November 28, 2015, on NTV at 25:05 JST and run for half an hour.[3]

Another spinoff titledCabasuka Gakuenaired from October 2016 to January 2017. It is set after the events of an unresolved alternate ending to the fourth season. In a departure from the fist-fighting theme of previous seasons, it saw the girls opening and running ahostess clubin order to save their school from shutting down as it had gone bankrupt.

The latest iteration of the series isMajimuri Gakuen,aired in July 2018, which features an entirely new cast and continuity, and was set at a different school.[4]

In the Arashigaoka Gakuen private school, the students are divided into "elite"(Tuyển dân,senmin)and "commoner"(Bình dân,heimin)statuses with a strict social hierarchy, with Aran Gosaki, also known as Kaiser (Hinata Honma), at the top as thestudent council president.Sayuri "Lily" Shimizu (Yui Oguri), a mysterious girl with formidable fighting skills, transferred to the school and become friends with Hina Asahi (Rin Okabe), Ikumi "Bara" Kuwabara (Mion Mukaichi), and Sumire Yamamoto (Narumi Kuranoo). Calling themselves the Hana-gumi(Hoa tổ,"Flower Group" ),they fight to put an end to the school hierarchy and Kaiser's tyranny, while also facing the impending threat from the Arechi Technical School led by Manji (Yumiko Takino).[5]

Some of the male fighters are portrayed by real-life pro wrestlers and martial artists, such as kickboxerYasuhiro Kido,pro wrestlerYukio Sakaguchi,and formerEstoniansumo wrestlerBaruto Kaito.[6]

The series was adapted into a stage play, which was performed on October 19–28, 2018 at theNippon SeinenkanHall, Tokyo.

This stage play would be part of the seventh anniversary celebration of AKB48 Team 8, of which most of the series' main cast are members, and all the regular characters would be portrayed by members of that team.

The play is set two years after the events of the first stage play, when the Hana-gumi have become senior students and gone their separate ways. While Lily is still the highly respected leader of the Hana-gumi, Hina has become the newstudent council presidentunder the name "Null" and Sumire has reinvented herself as "Yasha"(Dạ xoa)and formed her own group, theHyakki Yagyō(Bách quỷ dạ hành).[8][9]
