OverviewEdit
Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) is a manga series of 25 volumes, written and drawn by Tohru Fujisawa since may 1997 until its abrupt end in April 2002. It is aimed at adults and teenagers. GTO story is based on an eccentric yet mischievous teacher who is not afraid of openly admitting he is a pervert, and one of the most dangerous ones as well. 22 years old, Eikichi Onizuka represents all what contradicts and challenges the ordinary rules and laws to which every respectable school abides. However even though he might use unconventional methods, his message always goes across.

Bad Company is another manga from Tohru Fujisawa, it's a one-shot volume and it shows our Onizuka before he became a legend, before he became part of Oni-Baku, and before he became GTO. It's an action manga published in 1997.
Shonan Junai Gumi (english title: Shonan Pure Love Gang) is the prequel of GTO, showing Eikichi Onizuka and Ryuji Danma as teenagers facing adventures as Oni-Baku. The shonen manga has been published from 1991 to 1996 and is composed of 31 volumes.
In 2009 the manga was republished under the name of: GTO Shonan 14 Days. The spin-off illustrates what happened to Onizuka in the 14 mysterious days that followed the accident which involved the math teacher Suguru Teshigawara.
Anime & Manga Differences Edit
- The Academy where Onizuka works in, is called Seirin (Holy Forest) in the anime, while in the manga it is called Kisshō.
- Endings are different but both have happy endings.
Curiousity Edit
- The Seirin Academy actually does exist for real and is placed in Kichijōji, a neighborhood in the city of Musashino in Tokyo, Japan.
