I've hunted this manga for quite a while but there were always problems with the order. The translation was poorly done because it had a lot of spelling mistakes in it and failed to use proper use of the English language in some scenes.
That aside, this is by far the best manga I have ever read. I am stunned, the concept is so simple but so well thought out.
Well let’s start with a quick introduction to the story. Eikichi Onizuka is a 22 year old virgin and ex-gang leader of the dreaded motorcycle gang “Oni-Baku”. He’s a street punk with piercings and bleached hair, a

I can only use one word to describe this manga, OUTSTANDING! This is definitely must-read manga for all shounen manga lovers!
The story is nevertheless to say, more than great. I didn't talk this blindly, though. This manga can describes what is going wrong with the education system in this era. The story can makes you more mature by understanding the society more deeply than ever. If you are thinking 'manga should not be too realistic' right now, then you are definitely wrong. While it describes how serious the problem is, it also slips many sense of humor (most of it is perverted one :P) and ...

This manga, I can safely say, needs to be on everyone's "must read" list. I've been recommended this manga by a friend, and I tried it out. This was a refreshing change of pace from other popular manga out there. Maybe it was the more realistic setting, or it could have been the great arcs in each plot development. Whatever it was, I fell in love with this manga.
To begin, let's start with the story. To be honest, I personally thought it was a bit slow in the beginning. The "teacher" portion of GTO doesn't actually happen until a bit later on. However, once Eikichi ...

Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO): one of the most loved and inspirational manga in existence. Some even pursued a career in teaching after reading it! A story about a man with little in the way of education finding a place for himself in the world as a teacher; teaching kids with more education than himself lessons about life. A wonderful combination of hard-hitting drama, complete with characters with realistic, easy to relate to problems and plenty of over the top comedy. As well as being meaningful, it can inject warmth into even the coldest of hearts. Like mine.
Story: 8/10 The story is centered around a man ...

GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) is absolutely legendary. It’s about a former gang member turned teacher teaching one of the worst classes in his school & turning them around into fine young men & women. Throughout time its been hailed as an all time great & for very good reason. In this review I hope to explain what makes this series so legendary.
I’ll start with the concept. A manga about turning into delinquents into fine people, giving them a figure in their life to look up to. It’s not the most original set-up in story telling but because of this we get to see ourselves in ...

This Review contains MINOR spoilers. But they dont matter, trust me.
Onizuka is a Ex biker gang member, a virgin and a 5th rate university drop out. His goal. To be the greatest teacher in all of japan. And that is precisely what he becomes in this 200 chapter masterpiece. Let me start by saying this is the greatest manga i have ever read. Do not watch it, read it and i promise you it will be one of the ...

GTO is the story of Eikichi Onizuka, a former gangster who seeks to become the greatest teacher in all of Japan. Not because he matures and wants to redeem himself, or that actually cares about teaching. He does it because wants to be around a bunch of high school girls and look up their skirts. Yeah. And while that may sound like a really silly or dumb premise, GTO is one of the most soulful, genuine, and unexpectedly mature stories I’ve ever read.
When Onizuka starts off as a teacher, he’s assigned to Class 3-4 at Holy Forest Academy, a class infamously known for how ...

"Fuyutsuki, sometimes violence is the only way to get the message across." seems not like a line any teaches should say ... But not for our protagonist hes little different if i might say...
So Another manga is in my hands i have read it quite a few times its about School life which is seen trough this one Teacher who is kind of different from what we call a teacher Bad manners , rude and violent is what i would call him but hey he has quite a few sides to him and dealing with all kinds of students calls for having all kinds of ...

Great Teacher Onizuka is one of the best Mangas there is. Why? Because it's very simple and it relates to other peoples lives. (Spoilers maybe included)
GTO's doesn't really have a straight story on it apart from stories of other peoples lives divided into each part in the Manga itself. There are stories of Betrayal, hurt, distrust, and many more things that have happened to peoples lives but what's so brilliant about this is how GTO changed people's views on how to live. For example: Urumi, she distrust teachers because she has been betrayed before. But then after knowing Onizuka and Onizuka teaching her one of ...

Great Teacher Onizuka is one of the greatest (no pun intended) mangas I have ever read. Reading it has made me actually introspective about myself, what I want to do in life and what I'm like as a person, something that no other piece of media has EVER done before. I've always had this thought 'How do people connect so much do a story, it's just a story', but holy shit I completely gained that feeling now with this manga.
The story is so fun and satisfying, just seeing annoying authority figures being put into their place by this loveable ...

The Greatest Teacher!
After I started reading GTO, I enjoyed it! I rated it pretty harshly in the beginning, but took a step back and I enjoyed it a lot more after doing so! However, I hit a bit of a wall. Progress stopped at around chapter 99 or so, probably due exam week coming up and general motivation for reading it dipping. However, I persisted! And I’m glad I did! For starters, GTO's comedy was good throughout. I remember a lot of the best jokes being after maybe 50+ chapters, before that they were just alright and I didn't find them THAT funny. Onizuka’s weird antics and ...

Where should i even start
The story is good, it had a slow start, if you compare it with the action that comes packed in the later chapters of the manga.Then it picked up the pace when the students and other teachers started plotting against onizuka then it ends with a happy ending for everyone. The art is good. the backgrounds had a lot of detail into it, although the one major down point is the character's faces overall it's fine. Character, whew don't get me started on this one. The characters are perfect. Most, if not all had very intense characteristics. Now i don't wanna give off ...

All in all, i give this manga a 10 for "overall". I do give a few 9's and it doesn't seem to make any sense. But i give 10 for "overall" because i haven't found any manga that surpasses this, that however is my opinion.
If i were you, then i would just give this manga a try because this manga has a very high score on average. Don't even bother reading negative reviews. I can't understand why some people rate this manga very low. I do understand however that when people hate something, then they're just going to find another reason to hate it, then ...

Ah, Great Teacher Onizuka. The manga that changed my life. I remember being 17 years old with the latest volume of the manga, walking home as I'm reading it and laughing like a maniac while doing so. Since I left for the military and returned 4 years later, my 25 volume collection has pretty much disappeared. Now my only chance of reminiscing Onizuka's adventures involves me picking up a volume at the nearest Barnes and Noble, while trying not to distract other readers and shoppers with my guffaws.
Story: 8 The plot in Onizuka starts off very strong and continues throughout. It shows no signs of ...

GTO (manga) 9/8/9/9/9
First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile. ------ ✦Story✦ A very chaotic and grand story with many feels, silliness and thoughts. I watched the Anime maybe 10 years ago and if I remember correctly even re-watched it at some point, but I also remember a bit unsatisfying with how the Anime ended and thus once again if I remember correctly after finishing the Manga. The point where Anime ended didn't continue in the Manga, which is why I added the Manga initially to PTR. Anyhow, back to story. It's great. A very interest approach to ...

Did you hate school growing up? Of course you did, doesn't everyone for different reasons? Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) is one of the great manga classics. It follows Onizuka Eikichi who is a ex-motorcycle gangster turned homeroom teacher, which basically means he is the most awesome teacher of all time! Sure you won't do well on the SATs with him as a teacher, but as you may find out from this manga, there is more to school than just studying.
Great Teacher Onizuka is a hilarious comedy that you won't be able to resist. But what will really hook you are the moving stories of each ...

A timeless classic. GTO is one of my all time favourite mangas. It's a masterful high school comedy that somehow manages to blend light hearted nonsense with dark contemporary social issues into a jacuzzi of high-speed action-packed frenzy that leaves the reader questioning themselves and society philosophically whilst sprouting a seed of hope in the future. There is no filter in GTO and this is evident in the brash topics covered throughout the manga from social bullying to the sexual fetishes of old men, yet somehow GTO makes it work and at the end, produces a meaningful message atop the chaos. The artwork is beautiful

Premise before starting: read Shonan Junai Gumi before starting to read GTO, or I will come to your house with a knife, many things of GTO, including the ending, are less powerful without having read Shonan Junai Gumi.
Having said that, however, GTO is a manga that if it is read in the right period (for example adolescence) can really change your life. Obviously this manga has many logical flaws, but they are overshadowed by the fantastic character who is Onizuka Eikichi and his life lessons. This manga raises several criticisms of Japan and its school system, which, according to the mangaka Tooru Fujisawa, produces water from all ...

Great teacher onizuka is a ambiguous manga. It's comical, but also give the importants values of life.
The story is overstated, but anyway explain really good the Japanese society and their problematics. At the start much characters are Onizuka's enemies(the skirmishs among Onizuka and Hiroshi Uchiyamada are very fabulous). The Onizuka's enemies are repressed and hate the attitudes of Onizuka, but him aniway always continue for the own path. Onizuka is the one best manga characters. It's the teacher that all would have. The stupid expressions of Onizuka are great, and the personality is comic and matured at the same time. The design is good, expect for the ...

Emotions are a powerful thing; they have the capability to override any modicum of rationality and force even the ficklest of beings to succumb to their emotional disposition. Due to this, often times, those of us who claim ourselves to be critics of various mediums fall short of our own expectations. “Clannad After Story”, a series described as “life-changing” by many is the perfect suspect; a production that captured the hearts of the majority that viewed it while instantly becoming a classic within its genre. Littered with subpar designed moe characters, irrelevant arcs, contradictory elements, forced plot devices, and a plethora of other obvious issues.
