| The greatest manga i have ever read ! That is all..... |
| Just finished reading it and I fucking loved this manga. The only complaint I have is that storytelling gets a lot weaker in the last arc, when the Angels and Daimon are introduced, and I didn't enjoy much the way Fujisawa handled Sho's and Daimon's motivations (Sakurai having a scar for saving Daimon felt ass-pulled to me). I also think Miyabi's last conflict could be handled a lot better, but I'm okay with the way it was done. I also enjoyed the fact that the story isn't just about Onizuka being a teacher, but also about people learning how to live by their mistakes and children being children while growing up. This could be an easy 10/10 if it wasn't for these last 5 volumes falling short for the incredibely marvelous rest of the series, but its greatest qualities (such as the character writing and development and the way Fujisawa used all of it to creat context to debate more serious themes and reinforcing the plot with this social commentary) remained there until the very end and I have to give the props to it. Overall, despite my complaints, this is one hell of a fucking good ride that everyone should take. 9-9,5/10 for me |
| Despite being a completely unrealistic series with a realistic setting, and a bunch of non-developed and pointless characters, it was a really great read. Superb character development, action, life lessons and VERY entertaining. Urumi best girl, very well written character. 7.5/10 |
 |
| A bit more closure on some of the characters would've been nice. But overall, it was a satisfying ending for a great series! My only real compliant for this series is that it heavily relies on miracles and coincidences way too much. I get that Onizuka's supposed to be a miracle man, but jeez, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a plot twist at the end showing that Onizuka is a legit god. Although most of the series has the same setup of: A student/teacher hates Onizuka's ways -> wants to get rid of them from the school -> uses complex plans to try to get rid of him -> ends up backfiring -> Onizuka teases them a bit -> flashbacks for the bad guy/girl, showing why we should sympathize with them -> ends up with a change of heart and realizes that Onizuka's isn't all that bad. It's a repetitive formula that somehow keeps the series going without feeling stale and keeps it almost always entertaining. The setups given in the series automatically make you want to root for Onizuka, and that's enough for this series to become a memorable one. Combine that with the series' themes, life lessons, and social commentaries, and you got yourself an amazing series. I'm also surprised by how much I ended up liking the supporting characters. I think the final arc overdid it a bit, with Sho being the worst of the worst, yet get's little-to-no consequences for his actions. Plus we got Onizuka coming back from the dead, which was both a wtf and an lol type of moment. Overall, completely satisfied with the manga. Probably an 8.4/10 and will definitely give Shonan Junai Gumi are read someday. |

| What a masterpiece, this guy is the best teacher in the universe. |
 |
| A bit repetive and unrealistic for sure, yet so charming exactly for these aspects. Truly a masterpiece in the comedy and drama genre and Onizuka is one of the best characters in this medium. So sad that I'm done with this manga, but I will definitely read the other titles of this franchise too. 9,5/10 |

| When I started this manga after watching the anime I had planned to finish it in a month but it ended up taking me 5 months instead. There was a lot of strings pulled in scenarios but overall it was a great manga and I can't want to start reading the sequel. This was a nice chapter but I wish we got some closure with the students in class four. Who was the old man Sakurai was wheeling out? |
 |
| I didn't like this chapter specifically, a flavorless ending, I would have liked an ending all together at school. Speaking in general until the Miyabi saga, the level is very high, while with the last part of Shibuya the level drops, especially I didn't like the last 5 chapters and the awakening of Onizuka was too obvious. But is still 10/10 anyway. |

| What a fantastic series GTO is! This is certainly one of the greatest classics in manga. Definitely worth reading, especially for the younger folks. I kinda wish I read this throughout my time at school rather than now, as this manga teaches you many important life lessons that I could've taken to heart then and use for myself. If this series kept me more drawn in, I would've given this a perfect 10, but it didn't, unfortunately. So I'll give GTO a solid 9/10. |
| Very good final chapter to what was a good but slightly disappointing manga in the reread (rated 9 before, 7-7.5 now). The lessons were great, and there were tons of memorable/awesome moments that I enjoyed and seeing Onizuka break the walls of his students and truly be the 'Greatest Teacher' out there was such a wild but awesome ride. Great teachers don't necessarily mean the best with grades and education necessarily, and Onizuka in this entire manga showed why. Only reason why I'm giving it a strong 7, and not a higher score is because some of the events and characters were too dumb for my liking despite the good intentions (particularly in the final quarter of the series), and the Miyabi storyline was really disappointing too. But overall, GTO's quality is like life itself in a way; despite plenty of stumbles, it's about rising up from them and enjoying life and youth as much as you can, that'll pave the way for the rest of your life. |
| > start reading a seemingly comedic manga about a wacky high school teacher over a year after you graduate > become enamored with the lovable cast of characters and deep psychological messages > realize you wasted your whole four years of high school being the resident background "Quiet Kid™" when you could have had experienced high school like this had you just been more socially outgoing > finish the manga and realize it's over, just like your chance to have a meaningful high school experience; gone forever > cry |
| Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. REST IN PEACE KENTAROU MIURA |
| Not gonna say the manga was anywhere close to great, but it is quite a fulfilling (and absolutely hilarious) experience. Easily one of the best chapters in the manga (second to this would be one of those comedic chapters). |
| . . . |
| Honestly, loved the ending, that final page, "what does school mean to you", I love it! Besides just how awesome Onizuka was, I loved the characters! Excellent work all around, just wish the rest of the manga was an anime! |
| That was emotional... best teacher ever, even death can't do anything against him! |
 |
| Such a great and emotional ending. Easily one of the best manga ever made. |
| I'm graduating soon and i'm going to college. Im soooo grateful for reading that series |
