Gakuen Taikutsu Otoko is a fun series that is made in a typical Go Nagai fashion.
Nishikori Tsubasa, Midoro Toranosuke
STORY - 5
The story is the weakest part of Gakuen Taikutsu Otoko. While there's nothing particularly bad about it, there's also nothing particularly good about it. Some of the story during the 3rd volume gets interesting, but it's still nothing to write home about. However, the manga seems to recognize this and doesn't spend to much time on the story anyways.
ART - 9
The art matches up to Go Nagai's other manga in the 70s, it's detailed yet simplistic, and overall it looks really cool, which is important
...
for any series such as this. There's a lot of violence and nudity. If you've read a Go Nagai manga before (which you probably have if you came across this), you know what you're getting into.
CHARACTERS - 7
There are only really three developed characters in this manga: Saotome Mondo, Midou Tatsuma, and Midoro Toranosuke. Saotome Mondo is the hotblooded leader who is also completely batshit insane and loves killing people. Midou Tatsuma is the more cold and calculating type, but is also equally batshit insane. If you've ever read Getter Robo, Mondo is the Ryoma of this story and Midou is the Hayato of this story. Midoro Toranosuke is the main villain of the story. His intentions and reasons are made clear and at times his story will make the reader sympathetic, sometimes even to the point where it becomes questionable who the villain of this story really is. Overall, while there aren't many developed characters in this story, the ones that are end up being one of the best parts of the manga.
ENJOYMENT - 9
Overall, this was a fun manga and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you like violence, boobs, and cool shit, then you'll probably enjoy this manga as well.
