GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)

[Stainless Cupcake]

I am quite frankly shocked to find little or no mention at all of that great manga of all time named GTO.

One of the most charming and at times delightfully politicly incorrect I have laid my eyes on so far (granted, though ive laid my eyes on many things, manga isn't one of them).

It fast paced, well drawn, at times extremely witty and most importantly the moral that the manga holds isn't forced upon you or annoying. (something I can't say the same of naruto. At moments its too painfull to bear)

The story tells us of a young small time street gangster, fresh from his 3rd degree PE college. Always in trouble and on the run for the authorities, he wanders aimlessly through life in fast paced tokyo. Untill an odd twist in fate made him want to become a teacher. From there on things will never be the same for him or his students as the guillable yet ever well meaning ex-gangster teacher with his bleached hair strives to become the best teacher japan has to offer.

I demand this manga to be read at once. As for this thread: Either ignore it and let it pass away like some many doomed threads or feel free to discuss this giant amongst manga's.

[Lunasakuramoon]

I love Great Teacher Onizuka. I've never read the manga but the anime is awesome.

[Stainless Cupcake]

Isn't it my dear? Yet if you ever have the chance, do read the manga....as usual with manga vs. anime, the manga is always more explicit and less shall we say "TV-friendly"? Yet nothing distastefull, though GTO has a knack of trying to balance that thin line....

[Lunasakuramoon]

indeed. ^_^

[Last of the Uchihas]

I love this manga as well as the anime, tv series and the movie. If you haven't seen or watch any of this series's media then do it now, you won't be dissapointed.

[Orihime]

^^;;; I buy GTO for my brother ever 2 months when Tokyopop releases a new volume, and I must say I love this manga because of its humor and some of the drama that revolves around Onizuka and his students' lives.

My kavorite character is Kikuchi and Urumi. :B

[set]

I love GTo. I own volume 1-4. Volume 5 get relesed on Feb 1st. I love this manga

[Hayate]

I bought the first 3 volumes that have been released over here a few weeks ago, really good manga, funny as hell and man is he one perv.

Favourite quote: "My Airmax shoes for your beamer. Lets trade now."

[ichigo7]

I like GTO. I have book 2 of the manga. I now where you could get them. The charactor I like the most is Onizuka, he's a great teacher. i even have GTO the live action series too.

[ichigo7]

hey Last of the Uchihas i've seen all the anime eps and i have one manga too. I even have the GTO live action series plus live action movie.

[xenex]

I've never read the manga actually. Does it go beyond what the anime does? If so I might try picking it up.

As for my favorite part from the anime: I forgot her name but when the prodigy girl puts a snake down Onizuka's pant, and then he goes off trying to find someone to suck out the poison. If this is also in the manga, then it will no doubt be my favorite series of panels.

[BattousaiMS]

I guess the reason most people don't talk about is because it's quiet old now.

The Manga as another 2 ARCs well 1 ARC in reality and the anime ending much more detailed i guess. The manga is much diffrent from the Anime, in terms of event location.

[Code]

Great Teacher Onizuka is... well... Great. I've seen every single episode of the anime and I've read up to Volume 18 of the manga. I've only seen the 1st episode of the live action though. But the manga is definitely the best.

[Yaman]

one of the greatest animes ever, i want a teacher like onizuka, that'd be really crazy though :laugh

[Last of the Uchihas]

hey Last of the Uchihas i've seen all the anime eps and i have one manga too. I even have the GTO live action series plus live action movie.


I own all the 22 0r 23 mangas that have come out and the first season of the anime series and one live action movie. I envy you for having the live action tv series. You luck girl.

[GreatTeacherOnizuka]

ive read up to volume 15...does anyone know any sites where i can get the rest?

[NekkiBasara]

yeah gto is really good....i just downloaded the prequel bad company...looking forward to reading that...gto was and still is one of the most popular mangas/anime shows.....they made a movie based on it and a live action tv series.....ive seen parts of the live action it was cool.....i dont know where you can still download the manga online....but they are definetly worth owning if you got the money...this website is narutofan so im not suprised gto isnt mentioned....if you go to anime forums that arent mainly naruto you will see gto mentioned quite a bit...that manga has alot of issues and deals with alot of different topics as some were mentioned in the original post with morals not being forced upon you and simple the character onizuka doing what he feels is right...i dont feel like thinking and typing what they are but onizuka is to much....i love when he goes into his heroic fight for justice in which his solid moral integrity is shown....you said 3rd rate pe college....but im pretty sure it was a 5th rate university he came from not 3rd....again im to lazy to check to confirm...onizuka kicks ass...i like all the students too...they developed each student really well...i like all of them.....except miyabi shes annoying...

[Last of the Uchihas]

Bad company is the prequel of GTO? Are you sure?

[xenex]

I just downloaded ten chapters of bad company. It is a prequal to GTO. I'm flipping out!!

[Code]

Bad company is the prequel of GTO? Are you sure?
Yes it is. One of 2 prequels of GTO. It was quite good, basically about Ryuuji and Onizuka when they first met. Is there only 10 chapters in this series? That's all I read.

Then there's Shounan Jun'ai Gumi which I've never read.

[Musukuni]

GTO is definitely one of my favorite animes out there, the live action version, live action movie, and the manga are also great.

[Lacus Clyne]

I just downloaded ten chapters of bad company. It is a prequal to GTO. I'm flipping out!!
Where did you download it from!! I want it! I love GTO! It rocks my world!

[xenex]

Where did you download it from!! I want it! I love GTO! It rocks my world!
Well, I used DC++ and the hub I'm using only allows students who live on campus at my school. There is probably a site you can get it from, I just don't know where.

[Last of the Uchihas]

Yes it is. One of 2 prequels of GTO. It was quite good, basically about Ryuuji and Onizuka when they first met. Is there only 10 chapters in this series? That's all I read.

Thanks guys. You Know where i can find a link to the site that host either one of the prequel of GTO? Thanks in advance.

[ichigo7]

GTO live action tv series is a good series to watch and its really funny. And i really want a teacher like Onizuka too.

[Code]

Thanks guys. You Know where i can find a link to the site that host either one of the prequel of GTO? Thanks in advance.
http://ckmoney.soulcryptik.com/index.php?page=11 has info so you can get it off an IRC channel. They have Bad Company and Volumes 1 - 5 of Shounan Junai Gumi currently.

whats shounan junai gumi?

[Last of the Uchihas]

whats shounan junai gumi?


I don't know much japanese but it think

1.shounan means boy or boys. I mean its similar to shounen so it most mean the same

2. i don't know what junai means, it migth mean the school they went to.

3. Gumi means group since the shinsengumi means freshgroup or newly elected group or something similar to that. Or t


So in other words shounan junai gumi might mean

Boys group(gang) of Junai.

Code thanks for the link. i will rep you for that.

[Code]

whats shounan junai gumi?
It meens Boys Love Gang or something like that... according to http://users.skynet.be/mangaguide/mangat031.html at least.

About Ryuuji and Onizuka and I guess romance...

[Nakajima]

GTO is really good. Although the Manga and the Live action are the best of the series, the anime version is alright. It is my favorite manga and show of all time.

If anyone is wants the link to the Jdoramas of GTO live, http://drama.afraid.org/japan-tv/torrent_archives.html

[GreatTeacherOnizuka]

man ive been reading shounan junai gumi and im up to volume 4....i gotta say this is almost as good as gto itself!...gives u a funny version of onizuka's past unlike bad company which i think was more serious

[ichigo7]

Last of the Uchihas, if you're there please get online.

[Literally Exaggerated]

Classic, one of the greatest mangas of all time (and the manga blows the anime and drama right out of the water)

[ichigo7]

Nakajima, i have all the GTO live action eps plus movie and drama special.

[Nakajima]

Nakajima, i have all the GTO live action eps plus movie and drama special.

I already have all of them.

[ichigo7]

ah, the live action GTO is kinda better then the anime.

[kevin77]

gto is pretty good overall, but becomes really repetitive. It always starts with ppl hating him, then ends up with them loving him.

[Vodrake]

Can anyone tell me if GTO is still an on going series?

Also, does anybody know a plave where i can find a place with scans of chapters past 150?

thank in advance.

[Chillin]

I always thought that the "Shonan" in Shonan Junai Gumi was referring to the place Shonan were Onizuka used to lead his biker gang. But I guess it's actually spelled another way, damn I've been thinking wrong for two years.

[Nakajima]

Can anyone tell me if GTO is still an on going series?

GTO finished already.

[idh-yaa]

gto is one of best manga series i've seen so far [although i'm currently stuck on volume five and waiting for next to be published so i can buy them and read in my native language ;]). there aren't many comics about teachers out there, and onizuka is quite unusual one, so series is even more intereseting. these two sequels weren't as entertaining, but if you're an gto fan - go and read them now.
when i last checked they were avialable to download at http://mangaproject.cjb.net

and if you're looking for something a bit similiar i can recommend 'gokusen' manga. :)

[Vodrake]

and if you're looking for something a bit similiar i can recommend 'gokusen' manga. :)


Could you tell me anything about Gokusen? Is it another gangster turned 'respectible person' type manga or something like that?

[BarbNara]

Where can I download the subbed anime?? I watched ´til chapter 30 and I want to see more...I love Onizuka-sensei!! :crying

[Code]

Try boxtorrents.com

If you mean manga then try ckmoney.net

This is the manga forum but meh:
here you go (http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=great+teacher).
It's on bittorent, and the downloads mostly contain 43 episodes, but it's not to hard to set bittorrent to only downlaod the last few that you need.

[rokkudaime]

does anyone have all the GTO volumes, i need to read them but i cant find any links

[Vodrake]

does anyone have all the GTO volumes, i need to read them but i cant find any links
I could provide you with a link to a place with up to volume 24 out of 25, but unfortunatly we're not allowed to post links to that site here.
So i'll PM it you instead. :p

[rokkudaime]

you are all this the whole 24 volumes?

[Le Male]

I have all 25 volume in french and i watch GTO's Anime at TV. Everyday at 6 pm exept saturday and sunday

[BarbNara]

^lucky boy... I´m trying to dowload the last chapters but they´re so slow >_<

[SharinganK.]

A really nice, pseudo-violent, and funny anime. And the best part is that the liscensed part is done. And so is the unliscensed. So oyu can see the whole thing and not have to wait like those naruto chapters.

I think there are many topics about it already although it's not as popular as Naruto or Bleach here since the Manga has officially ended so therer isn't much to discuss.
<--GTO FC owner.

[ACult]

Why don't people actually buy the manga, all this talk of links, when there is only one volume left to be released by tokyopop.

The manga is class, gets abit boring around volume 11 and 12 but picks up again. The anime is kiddy-ed down abit to much for my enjoyment, it kinda takes the onizuka out of onizuka (shock value)

<-- already has all teh english released manga's and all teh released DVDs.

Oh yeah the best moment of the Manga is I guess (more me) when Kanzaki goes berserk after her secret is revealed and tries to kill himself, only to be saved by her favorite teacher. I like the part where she confesses her emotion for Onizuka and asks if he wants to runaway with her and live as a couple.
(if you don't know, after Futyutsuki , Kanzaki is the most in love with teh blond haired gangsta) It's sad that the anime dosn't portray that part exactly... though

I do own a lot of the manga. From Volume 19 to 24 and some of the other volumes that I enjoyed the most,( mainly the Okinawa Arc). It's just that I can't afford to buy the entire series as well as all the other series I enjoy reading, and as they're available to read for free, why let them go to waste?

Yeah, Its kind of a shame. Kanzaki is everything the man wants, yet he suddenly develops morals when he becomes a teacher.

He looses his Virginity in the Live Action...does this happen in the end of the manga or anime?

[BattousaiMS]

Nope well we knoe he is going too.
In the anime: Fuyutsuki waitis for his return since we came to the California and is a teacher there.

In the manga: He is still recovering in the hospital and peeping the undies of the nurses along with his new peeping buddy Uchiyamada.

[kurisawa]

havent read the manga but i've seen the series. so far, it's been pretty hilarious

I agree, they have high quality manga from tokyo pop. Incredible translations, and fun to read.

[DeviousNL]

High quality manga at Tokyopop? Whahahahahaha!!

uhm.. sorry 'bout that, but have you ever seen the quality of the scans?? Some pages just miss some pieces of text because they where printed so crooked (some pages from Battle Royale and GTO)... They (the manga enthusiasts) didn't nickname Tokyopop Toyopoop for nothing...

Not that it bothers me that much... I'm a huge Battle Royale and GTO fan and it's the only way to get my hands on an (original) English translation. I can look beyond those mistakes, but that's not 'high quality'. They just save costs, because they have a monopoly position in English translated manga. there isn't another company out there that competes with them so why make more costs for more quality control?

[TheDrunkenLee]

GTO is awesome! Kanzaki rules!

[iaido]

GTO is awesome, I have all 25 volumes. They're available from a couple of sources.

Bad Company originally was sort of an arc series for Shounan Junai Gumi. Bad Company is great and gives you a better understanding of Onizuka, especially during the last volume where he has his flashback with his former senior.

I've only read 5 volumes of Shounan and it's great. Wish Mangaproject would release it faster.

[cloon]

i love GTO. i've only read and bought the first volume though, but it's really funny. i especially like it when he got revenge on the students and they turned into good students after he tortured them XD

[iaido]

In case you guys are wondering, manga-sketchbook just released up to volume 24. Manga-underground and other groups did voumes prior to 20-24. So basically, you can get 24 out of 25 volumes in English online.

[Pachees N' Cream]

Love GTO too! It's one of my favorite mangas. Jiraiya and Onizuka must be great friends...^^ Love them both!!!

[rokkudaime]

Im downloading chapters 104 -195. i cant wait for vol 25

where did you get the 5th volume of shounan?

[rokkudaime]

is onizuka in bad company? or shounan?

[Code]

Onizuka is in both of them.

[rokkudaime]

whats it about, do you know where to get them?

[-[BL]-]

Ok, before I start I need to get something cleared up. A page or so ago, someone said that "Shonan" in "Shonan Junai Gumi" means boy. This is completely wrong. Shonen means boy, Shonan is the coastal region of Sagami Bay, Kanagawa Prefecture. This is where Onizuka grew up and the manga is set. Also, Bad Company was originally part of Shonan Junai Gumi. However, when Kodansha re-released SJG as a duluxe set, they left Bad Company out and gave it it's very own volume.

Now that that's out of the way, I love GTO. It is my most favorite manga along side it's 31 volume prequel, Shonan Junai Gumi. The anime of GTO sucks compared to the manga. I'm not saying it's bad, I think it's pretty good, but once you try the manga, you'll never ever go back.

As for Shonan Junai Gumi, it started off as a gag manga so when you start reading it, you're gonna thing: "WTF?!?!?! What the hell is this?! That's Onizuka?!?!". I assure you, after the first 5 or so volumes, things get serious and bit by bit, it gets more like GTO with each chapter. If you compare the first volumes with the last few, you'd think that you're reading a different manga. The end is almost Identical to GTO.

I think someone has already mentioned that you can pick the start up at www.mangaproject.cjb.net, but be warned, they are encredably slow. Because of this, I've actually started up my own Scanlation group myself to take it on but we can't start properly till we get ourselves a literal translator :sad .

Also, you can read all of Bad Company, online, here: http://www.dazzled.com/ebolarama/

[rokkudaime]

im reading it as we speak. nice job. are you sure shonan is 31 chapters or volume?

[-[BL]-]

Shonan Junai Gumi is 31 VOLUMES long (encluding Bad Company). Trust me, the first few volumes put a bad taste in your mouth when you compare it to the rest but read it anyway :wink.

[rokkudaime]

so there is bad company and shonan gumi and they are both 31 volume? are they all out? are u sure its not chapters? how long is the volume?

[-[BL]-]

Ok, listen to me very carefully, Bad Company was originally part of Shonan Junai Gumi. Shonan Junai Gumi goes for 31 whole 190 page volumes and one of those 31 volumes contains the 10 chapter Bad Company.

However, recently they re-released SJG and put two volumes in one. Offcourse if they did this, there would be 15 and 1/2 new volumes so they decided to take out Bad Company which took away 1/2 a volume, thus creating 15 even duluxe edition volumes. This is why Bad Company is looked upon as a different series.

[rokkudaime]

i see. im reading it right now on the second link you gave me. sometimes, the pages wont show. its still pretty good.

[-[BL]-]

Yeah that's kinda annoying. However, you can still get what's going on. The place is old and the webmaster has disappeared so the only other option is to download it ^_^;;.

[Le Male]

In my country, after sale all 25 volume of GTO they begin to sell Shonan Junai Gumi under the name of "Young GTO"

[rokkudaime]

bad company is pretty good. is it finished? is it just 10 chapter?

[-[BL]-]

Are you from france by any chance :laugh? You'd be up to the "Matoko gets a girl" part right?

@rokkudaime
The quality of Bad Company is the same quality as the end 1/4 of SJG.

[rokkudaime]

is it all finished? i read all that the site has to offer.
yo, isnt GTO 25 not out yet. how come le male has it?

25 isn't out in any english speaking countries yet. Le male is from france and the series is complete there.

Yeah you right. i read it in Shonen collection

Enyoying it? Your almost up to the Midnight Angels arc. Things really start to get good here. I wonder if Pika Edition edit their manga? Do you know?

[rokkudaime]

i just finished when Natsuki(the hot 18 yr old) sent ryuji and friends a postcard saying that she was released out of prison.

i didnt know france had its own manga publishing company like tokyopop.

You know we have a lot of publishing company about manga and the competition is hard. Manga is a big bisness here. For exemple the last GTO volume was 4th in the best seller comics.
We have our DVD's editor too. It's Kaze for GTO's DVD ( Sub and Dub in french ) and there are a website http://www.gto-tv.com

[gallant_pervert]

i first saw the anime and movie last month, and ever since i've been reading the manga faithfully. needless to say, it's hilarious and obscene, which is what i'm looking for as someone very similar in age to Onizuka. It's entertaining and I'm hoping to addict my friends to it when I get back to college in August. (Although the whole schoolgirl thing is a bit strange...but when I came back home, I was presented with the truth that they're now offlimits for me---how sad :-C

[SpiritedLoser]

Wooo at last GTO
My friend recommended it to me and at first i was un sure cause the drawings wernt the sort i normally would look at (i draw manga as well so i was put off by the drawings) But the story lines great! Thumbs up for GTO

[TriSal]

have anyone any idea where I can get Bad Company????

[CABLE]

#lurk@irchighway.net, they got volume 1 but im guessing there is only 1 volume.

I´ll check it out, thx mate....

[iaido]

Bad Company was a part of aShounan Junai Gumi volume, I forget which volume it was but it was a prequel of a prequel. It later had its own book published.

Anyway, like I've said, mangaproject is doing Shounan Junai Gumi but they're going incredibly slow and they're only on volume 5.

GTO Volumes 1-24 are downloadable online now.

[Begoniax13]

Hi, I'm wanting a new manga to read, so I decided that I'd try out GTO. It actually doesn't sound that bad? I was wondering where I could download the manga?

[Sho]

GTO is my favorite manga series, with Berserk in second, and Naruto in third place. I buy the manga volumes instead of downloading them online though since for me I'd rather read it away from the computer (plus I got dial-up) so you know how that goes..

In my opinion, the manga is the undisputed best version out there. The anime kinda threw me off a bit with the voices and how they changed some things, that's why I don't like it as much as the manga. Not mention the manga has the best faces, hands down (you know what I'm talking about). The second best is the live action tv series which I have and which I've enjoyed pretty well. They change things but it still is classic GTO goodness and is better than the anime IMO. I haven't watched the live action movie though however, can someone tell me anything about it? Does it have continuity with the live tv series?

And to tell the truth, I've just found out only yesterday that there were prequels to GTO, though it seems the other guys in this thread already knew about it. Does anyone know if it will be released soon here in the U.S?

Btw my favorite characters in GTO are Onizuka and Kikuchi. I also like Urumi when she started defending Onizuka, Fuyutski, Uchiyamada (for some reason I like the guy lol), and here's another shocker: Teshiagawara after Onizuka beats some sense into him. The whole time I hated the guy until that moment then you actually feel empathy for him.

However I just can't stand Miyabi. I've tried not hating her but it's just not possible for me at this point. I wish she just transferred to a different school since she just gets too annoying at times.

[iaido]

Look on IRC

I forget who did Volumes 1-22 but there were quite a few. Manga-Underground/sirhc did quite a bit but they're no more. You can use the @find command to easily find them though.

Manga-sketchbook did volumes 22-24 with 25, the last volume, to come out shortly.

It is my favorite manga series. However, to get a better understanding of Onizuka and where he comes from, you should read Bad Company (it's only one volume) and Shounan Junai Gumi (only 4 complete volumes out that are translated so far with 5 up to ch.37). Those two series are nowhere near as good as GTO but it does give you some inside information, especially during the Saejima tales where you learn of some of Onizuka's old friends who aren't in GTO like Tsukai, Abe Hiroshi, and Ittou.

Bad Company - Do an @find @ #mangaproject @ IRCHighway
Shounan Junai Gumi - Same Thing

GTO - Volumes 1-22 - Easily found @ any IRCHighway manga channel. Volumes 22-24 = look in #manga-sketchbook @ IRCHighway

[TriSal]

what the hell is up with Shounan Junai Gumi, the drawings suck compared to GTO and Bad Company......:blink it´s not what I expected at all..:sad

[-[BL]-]

Yo, get a later chapter of Shonan Junai Gumi here, done by my very own scanlation team, Onibakuscanz. http://onibakuscanz.luciver.com/SJG_254.zip

The reason why everything about Shonan Junai Gumi is so crap at the start is because a) Fujisawa wasn't a profesional when he started it and b) Fujisawa originally intended it to be nothing more than a shitty gag manga, so he didn't put much effort into it.
At around vol 6 though, things start to really evolve on an unbelievable scale. It's as if Fujisawa woke up one morning and though: "Hey, I've created some pretty solid characters in the shonan junai gumi thing. Maybe I could actually make something out of it".

My tip to all of you: just shut up and keep reading (:P) all the way up to 37 even if it drives you insane from manga project. If you go straight into the later part of the series without knowing what happenned at the start, you'll wreck the whole experience. After 37, we'll take care of you the rest of the way (38 comes out next week from us).

hey im a noob to GTO and i hate using irc's... so can anyone provide a link somewhere?
either for manga or anime!?!?

Can you give me more information on your scanlation team? Did your group start scanlating where Mangaproject left off? Damn mangaproject, they haven't released a chapter in months.

Are you talking about http://onibakuscanz.luciver.com/SJG_254.zip ?
It works fine for me right now...:S

As for the team, we've did that chapter there as a practise, to test our skills and whatever. From here though, we're going straight from where manga project left off. The script is in the making right now, so expect it some time next week at the latest.
Oh yeah, and as for our website, we've changed domains from onibakuscanz.tk to www.onibakuscanz.net. The site is going through some re-doing right now, bare with us on that for a while. We also have a gto/shonan junai gumi sister fansite which has just surfaced in the last week or two. That's http://yoroshiku.tk.

Someone had to do something. It'll be liscenced before the even THINK of doing the next chapter :laugh. Thanks. We really need all the support we can get in these times of just starting up. By the way, does that link work for you now?

Nah chapter 38. 37 was already done by manga project. You can find all thier releases here: http://stoptazmo.com/shounan_junai_gumi/

[Le Male]

i have all 25 volumes in french.

[-[BL]-]

this is GTO you're talking about right?

[Eikichi]

Ive read all 25 volumes, seen whole anime, 12 drama episodes + drama special + drama movie + bad company + shonen junai gumi up to volume 6 ... cant wait to get my hand on chap45 and higher of SJG +(

[Le Male]

Yeah all 25 GTO's volumes. ANd GTO's Anime was show in France. It was dub in french.

[rokkudaime]

ive read just 24 vol, seen the anime. im currently waiting for someone to scanslate vol 25

[-[BL]-]

25 has been out for almost a month I think. But yeah, if you're relying on scanlators, then it probably isnt around yet.

[Code]

Scans for Volume 25 are out by M-S. I believe they scanned Tokyopop' (which I'm not fond of...).

[pek]

GTO v25 :

[Smokeyjay]

So I guess GTO is over than?

Kind of a sudden ending. And it seems like it hasnt actually ended, espescially with that bad student entering into class 4 now.

[iaido]

I thought the ending was good. There's no reason for the mangaka to finish until everone from 3-4 graduates.

[-[BL]-]

A manga can only go so far. If it kept going, it probably wouldn't be good.

-']A manga can only go so far. If it kept going, it probably wouldn't be good.
Yeah, IMO GTO was starting to get repetitive when the '2d' angel group showed up -_-

[-[BL]-]

mm. The series really isnt all that short. The whole Onizuka saga is 56 volumes long in total! That's GTO, Shonan Junai Gumi and Bad Company.

[CABLE]

I didn't know if this was true but according to animenewsnetwork.com, Shonan Junai Gumi was done before GTO but ive never heard anyone refer to GTO as a sequel to SJG so i wasn't sure is this true?

[iaido]

It's not a sequel in the sense that it's a continuation of the characters' lifestyles, but GTO is a continuation of Onizuka's life as a teacher.

Bad Company - How Ryuuji and Onizuka met and became gang members

Shounan Junai Gumi - High School and Beyond Gang Member Days, How they Met Saejima and friends

GTO - Onizuka as a teacher. They briefly mention some characters in Shounan such as Ittou, Tsukai, Abe, etc. in the Saejima chapters. Oh yeah, Saejima is the cop in case you didn't know.

[iaido]

Onibaku Scanz just released Ch 38, making Mangaproject's lazy ass unneeded.

Yeah, that's right! Get 38 here at http://onibakuscanz.luciver.com/SJG_038.zip . 39's not too far around the corner either :wink . Get ready to learn Kaoru's secret.

Chapters of Shonan Junai Gumi.

BL -> Do you have a site or something ? ^^

Yeah we do, www.onibakuscanz.net , but right now you'll only get a technical difficulties message, cause we're actually remaking it. Hopefully, It should be back up fairly soon (I'm not to sure, cause I'm not the one doing it).

For now I'll keep you all posted here with new releases and such.

[Gutsu]

I finish reading all 25 volumes of GTO last week it was quite good. :cool

My favorite character are Urumi , Onizuka and the bald principal guy lol forgot his name.

The ending was alright I do wish it had "semi spoiler" a better resolution on Onizuka's love life which btw is none in the final volume we don't know if Onizuka and Futoyuski sp? hook up or not oh well.

I do prefer Onizuka ending up with Urumi instead of Futoyuski sp?. Urumi loved Onizuka as much if not more than Futoyuski did heck Urumi was willing to kill herself if Onizuka died. Urumi would help out in Onizuka in any way while with Futoyuski sp? hardly does anything and is in doubt about Onizuka when his being accused.

A great example on how her character is about Onizuka is when the new principal fires Onizuka and all what Futoyuski sp? says is "Oh" Onizuka leaves then on the next panel he comes back right in and says to Futoyuski sp? "Oh???" "Is that all? couldn't you even put up a fight for me!?" lol that just made me laughed. :laugh Not just because it was funny but because what Onizuka said was exactly what on I had on my mind when all she did was just say "Oh". -_-

Onizuka would have made Urumi happy and Urumi would have kept Onizuka in check i.e. whipped. They would have made a great couple :laugh Plus this would have completed his fantasy about marrying a High School Girl. @_@

I'm going to check out the other manga series which has Onizuka and watch the live action tv series and movie. :amuse

i perfer urumi over fuyu too but uh...i think the reason urumi does what she does is mostly because she's a psycho compared to fuyutsuki who just sits around hoping for the best.
besides, isn't she a 3rd year junior high student? :blink i think junior high school in japan goes up to like 9th grade.
...yeah he can totally marry her after two more year and make his dreams come true.

though i'd like to see him go back to that high school chick in the very beginning of the series and take her virginity away first. otherwise that poor girl's gonna keep waiting until the day she dies a virgin.

lol I think he'll keep that girl from the first volume as back up just in case if his relationships fail. :laugh

[Gutsu]

Okay I just saw the entire TV series, special and movie and it was better than I thought. Onizuka is a bit tuned down but I still liked him. I actually prefer the Live action TV series version of Azusa Fuyutsuki she isn't as innocent as she was in the manga/anime. Miyabi is still well a total bitch.

Urumi didn't per say show up in the TV series because at the time when the TV series was being made in 1998 she still hadn't showed up in the manga. But she does show up in the TV special it's her and yet not her more like an inspired character of Urumi the character didn't have blond hair nor different color eyes and she doesn't act too much like Urumi.

The movie was good but it didn't have any of the character from the TV series. It annoyed me a bit that Azusa wasn't there either even though both of them hook up and looked like they were going to get married since they got the "ok" sign from her father. But she wasn't even mention in the movie well maybe expect when the Female reporter at the very end of the movie showed him the condom that said 2nd time well Onizuka says "Want me to use it?" in which she responds "you should only use it on her" I'm guessing that was a reference to Azusa.

Well overall both the TV series and the movie was good it's worth checking out. You can download it on www.boxtorrents.com both the TV series, TV special and the movie.

Edit: Woah I just found out that the character who play as Onizuka and the person who played as Azusa ended up getting married. So see in a way Onziuka ended up with Azusa. :P

I finally present to you, Shonan Jun-ai Gumi chapter 39! Get it here at http://onibakuscanz.luciver.com/SJG_039.zip

I seriously apologize for the over-a-month long wait guys, but we worked as hard as we could with all the set backs we've had: Cypher starting uni and having lectures everyday, me having to do so much work on the website (it's going to be up soon), Vegeta76 being so busy with school... and man, that's not all. Despite this, I've had a fair bit of free time in the last few days, which allowed me to pour my heart and soul into fixing up holes in the editing myself. I think I've got a translation for almost all the sound fx in there this time . Trust me, this release is worth the wait!!

[hadou]

thanks bro.

[CABLE]

Whats with Saejima and him talking to himself?

[Code]

Well if you mean those little special chapter things. I think he's supposed to be talking to Onizuka. Simply doesn't show him.

Well I'm on Volume 23 of GTO now (well I was holding off not reading it for a while when I got up to around v20 and had to read Tokyopoop's version... ).

doesn't M-S use tokyopop's scans? i've read the ones on lurk and aren't they all tokyopop scans? if so i don't mind them, nothing has been cut as far as i can see, f word is used profusely and all the other profanity is intact.

[-[BL]-]

Yeah I'm pretty sure they are. Tokyopop do a pretty good job, and haven't cut anything out. Only problem is, the guy who does the english adaption is pretty famous for using alot of slang that wasn't originally intended. You can't be perfect though I guess.

[GreatTeacherOnizuka]

hadou where do u get those street fighter comics?...is there an online site where u can dl a scanlated version?

i know there's a street fighter manga, but i have not seen it. but you can get images or wallpapers of street fighter on google

and btw, by the end of GTO, I was really sick of bastards who do all this crap and just get off the hook

the kid who lit the school on fire should have been killed or at the least put in jail, he was let free! freaking attempted homicide and burning down the school! wtf!

EDIT: I found out that the site with the manga available doesn't work, whenever I finish downloading and opens the file it saids the zip file is corrupted.

Could be that you need a newer version of whatever program you use for zipping.
Otherwise try this site: http://www.stoptazmo.com/

[cyu2]

Does anyone know where I can download the Tomoko side stories of GTO? Stoptazmo does have them.

[Carthage]

I've been meaning to read this for quite a while.
Would it be easier for me to locate and download this series or drive 10 minutes to the nearest Barnes and Noble and sit down and read this (have all of the volumes been liscensed and released)?

[Sho]

^Go and read them from the nearest Barnes and Noble. The adaptation is spot on in the official release and you won't go wrong. In fact you'll wish to buy the whole manga series once after getting into the story. The whole series is 25 volumes in total I believe, and they are all released currently in the U.S.

Onizuka=one of the top 3 mangas I've ever read. Easily the most hilarious series too, so you won't go wrong.

heh... maybe not today... definately might consider it over the weekend though.

Onizuka=one of the top 3 mangas I've ever read. Easily the most hilarious series too, so you won't go wrong. Took the words from my mouth....... Its with Berserk and feesia for me.....

[Sharingan_18]

Is there anyplace where you can buy all the 25 mangas in a box or something? im hoping to find something cheaper since buying them individually is alot of money.

[Kaki]

I can sell you alot of them in a box........
but realy you can still find them at cons and 'if thats not good enough you need to lower your standards, manga dose not grow on trees' (the catch phrase of a manga ventor at katsucon).....

[Sharingan_18]

does barnes and nobles carry them? I want to buy them locally.

[Kaki]

Yes, any book store should carry them.....

[Zaru]

I just finished the series here, bought the last volume two days ago.

Lolz to the extra story.

[Sharingan_18]

Is it worth buying or should i download? I just got done watching the anime so I was thinking about getting into the manga.

[Kaki]

If any mangas are worth buying this is!! Its one of my top three personally, but it is 25 volumes so you may have to buy over a time span if you lack the money.

[Sharingan_18]

Great to hear!! i take it that the manga is just as good as the anime if not better? I guess i'll have to start collecting them. Are the drawings good?

[Kaki]

Yes, the art is great!
And Yes, it is better than the anime, its got the full content and sharper art and expression.... too bad the anime lacked a bit.

[Zaru]

Plus the anime cannot cover the full amount of small speech bubbles that the GTO Manga offers. You're gonna see a lot of them, and most of the small ones are damn funny 8D

[Kaki]

Yea, it has an insane amount of dialog, especiall the side speech.

[Sharingan_18]

Damn, so I guess its really worth buying. Im gonna go check out Vol.1 right now.

[Sharingan_18]

I went to Barnes & Noble and they don't have GTO. Wtf? Is there anywhere else I can buy manga from, like a comic book store or something.

[Kaki]

I don't live in the same town as you so you know better than I...

[Sharingan_18]

Do You know any other big name stores that would carry manga?

[Kage no Yume]

I can sell you alot of them in a box........
but realy you can still find them at cons and 'if thats not good enough you need to lower your standards, manga dose not grow on trees' (the catch phrase of a manga ventor at katsucon).....

It does in Japan. 3-4 dollars a volume...I need to hurry up and learn Japanese. Shirokiya has a pretty nice collection at 3$ a volume.

[Sharingan_18]

Finally found Vol.1, best phrase ever....."Let's trade, my Airmax Shoes for your Beamer."

[dspr8_rugged]

I actually started getting chapters of the GTO manga, but up to Chapter 80 only. I still haven't got much time to get the rest.

[Sharingan_18]

Even though I doubt it, are they gonna make a sequel to the anime?? Why do they end it that way?? I haven't read all the manga but if it continues how come the anime doesn't?

[Yakumo Fujii]

Truly one of the greatest manga of all time.

[Plasma-Stinger]

Does anyone know if this series has ended yet? And where can I download the manga?

[gnutte]

Both the manga and anime is finished. You can get the manga here:
http://www.mangacult.com/series.php?series=gto&do=download

[cygnus]

Is the anime exactly the same? I have seen it but I would like to think it didn't end so abruptly in the manga...

[gnutte]

They're not the same. At least they don't end the same. The ending in the manga is much better.

[Zaru]

And somehow they left out the funniest scenes from the manga in the anime D:

Oh and if you want to read it too, search for "Shounan Junai Gumi", it tells the previous adventures of Onizuka and his friends (as young guys)

[cygnus]

Where should I start reading from if I've watched the anime?

[Sintaku]

Where should I start reading from if I've watched the anime?

I've read the first few volumes, which have very few differences from the anime. So I wonder where the anime and manga differ...

Therefore I have the same question as the guy I quoted....

[-[BL]-]

Well there are quite a number of differences between the manga and the anime right the way through but the main thing is that what comes after the Okinawa arc in the anime is completely different to the anime. Therefore if you want to read from where the anime left off, start from vol 14. Btw, it continues on for another 11 volumes after that too. I do recommend reading the whole thing from scratch though, and I highly reccomend reading Shonan Junai Gumi. It goes for 31 volumes in total and Tokyopop are producing them in double volumes which will make it go for 15 (the extra one is to be separated as Bad Company like in Japan). The first Volume is out now and the second should be out in a couple of weeks. Originally you may be put off by the extremely different art style and simple storyline but all that changes dramatically and evolves into something very close to GTO's standard as the series progresses.

[dspr8_rugged]

I actually stopped at Chapter 80. I haven't found time to continue reading it.

*wants to re-live past admiration for Urumi Kanzaki* :P

[cygnus]

What chapter does volume 14 start at...

[ShangDOh]

I can't believe I didn't find out about this series earlier! I just finished reading all 25 volumes, this is easily one of my favorite manga series. But why did they have to end it the way they did?! Dammit! I want more!

[-[BL]-]

Now you can start on Shonan Junai Gumi (If you haven't read the whole thread, it's GTO's 31 volume prequel :wink )

[Chi]

Is Shonan Junai Gumi translated?
I just can't find translated scans past volume 5..

[Kaki]

oh I thought it was.......but it seems its way longer than 40 chapters....

[Chi]

Yes..
I have downloaded 40 chapters from #lurk.
Last chapters are by Illuminati-manga.
But that's just 5 volumes. And Shounan Junai Gumi is 31 volumes story..

[Kaki]

Shit, I did't know that...well I guess it will be a bit longer for it to come out...

This thread definitely needs to be bumped.

Just finished GTO today. Got to say that it's currently my fav. manga. Almost had tears in my eyes towards the end when Onizuka was dying. Though it did start to get scary when Urumi cut her wrist. o_O I was a little disappointed that they didn't show a lot on Onizuka's past, but delighted when I found out that GTO has a prequel about Onizuka in highschool.

Might even buy the manga if I got cash to spare.

Gonna start reading the prequels soon or maybe today if I'm bored. Can't get enough of Onizuka. :spaz

[-[BL]-]

Actually for those who're interested in Shonan Junai Gumi, there're 44 chapters out, but production is kind of on hiatus at the moment.

[Kaki]

The rest will come out officialy in the US.....

But its not a prequal , GTO is a sequal to it...

[Gene]

Volume 14 starts at chapter 107.



GTO ftw. ^^

[nalex43]

read the entire thing! you won't regret it!

[Rice Ball]

I've been thinking of cleaning a few Shonan Junai Gumi raws.
Wonder if theres enough interest here to get a scan team for this series

[-[BL]-]

Illuminati-Manga are meant to be scanning it at the moment, and currently they're up to chapter 48, however yeah, they've run into translator problems. Also Thanoscopter, I wouldnt worry about cleaning raws cause they're are already some quite good quality ones out ;)

[Hibari Kyoya]

Well i finished this ealier defo one of my favs

[KLoWn]

Not having read GTO automatically means you fail, it's that fukken awesome.

[Locard]

seriously, this is one of the bestest mangas ever, if not the best :noworry

[crazymtf]

Gotta finish collecting the rest of these volumes since i loved the Anime. Now Young GTO is awesome, have volumes 1-9 in manga, waiting for 10 :P

[YukiKaze]

I wonder why in nearly every shop Vol.10 isnt aviable, is there something special about it?
I bought the whole Manga but only Vol 10 is missing :cry

[Mattaru]

GTO is aweosme. :ho I was satisfied with the ending too.

[Hibari Kyoya]

ending was cool :gar

im going to read the prelogs soon

Onizuka is the coolest char ever

[Mattaru]

He had some fucking awesome moments.

Like when he arm-wrestled 100 men.

And when two people are getting it on, and in the next panel you see Onizuka with a camcorder lifting up the girl's skirts :gar

And when he got caught masturbating in his truck :gar

Or when he got kicked out of the school (he was sleeping outside) and then after the kids wanted to wake him up he swallowed a Cockroach after it climbed into his mouth,they went all "Wtf :wth:argh"

Fucking Epic :lmao:rofl

[Hibari Kyoya]

:rotfl onizuka is so epic

[Teleq]

This is my favorite manga ever. Kanzaki's my favorite character... Those chapters with her towards volumes 16 and 17 were beautiful. Not to mention her reaction tohim on his supposed death bed. Yeah, jailbait pairing, but I love it.

[Yagami1211]

GTO : best manga ever

[Zaoldyeck]

*wishful thinking is whisful*


they should do another anime but this time covering up the totality of the manga. just to show how amazing gto is, the anime covered like 60% of manga material and even so it managed to have the most viewed episode ever in japan according to some sources that i completely forgot lol.


anyway gto is fuckin win..

[Scorpio3.14]

Damn it people. By bumping this thread you are making me want to reread this manga for like the 3rd time and I already have so much other stuff on my plate :doh

GREAT manga though, easily one of my all time favorites.

[Zaoldyeck]

nothing wrong with re-reading great mangas :LOS

Yeah Kanzaki is great :wtf.

It's a shame the anime missed out the scene of when she wanted to commit suicide though.

Anko x Noburo is win too.

Ahhh, good times.

That wasn't the anime, it was the finale for the live action show.

[YukiKaze]

Yeah Kanzaki is great :wtf.

Anko x Noburo is win too.

Ahhh, good times.

To bad they didnt show how Urumi and Onizuka went together to the funfair and nearly kissed (but Onizuka knew it better xd)

There to much things that didnt make it into the anime.
I liked Urumi more as the manga moved on, in the anime i nearly hated hear beacuse she showed nearly no emotion, just aggressive attitude and fiendish :cry

[Zaoldyeck]

Well, I saw that the anime only covered the first 14 volumes so I didn't even bother with it. Just wait straight to the manga! Looks like this was the right decision.

[Hibari Kyoya]

I'd still like to know what happens to the great teacher after the manga :scry

[YukiKaze]

I'd still like to know what happens to the great teacher after the manga :scry

The manga is far better than the anime.
