Denpa Kyoushi is like GTO for the 21. century. Both Onizuka and Kagami help students in their own way, Kagami using that brilliant brain of his and Onizuka pulling through with sheer strength and willpower.
If you like Kamen Teacher, then you must read the legendary Great Teacher Onizuka, and shame on you if you haven't already. Created also by Tohru Fujisawa, GTO offers the same humour and obscure teaching methods used in Kamen Teacher.
More in-line with plagiarism than a show of respect, the beginnings of The Breaker cannot but help one think of GTO/Onizuka. A new badarse teacher starts teaching at a school, bumps into a bullied kid, has to save him from jumping off the school roof and - of course - tries to get it on with a hot female teacher. If not for the art being so fantastic and GTO being equally fantastic, I'm sure this issue would be touched upon more than it has been.

Awhile after its GTO-theft introduction period, it does go off in its own martial arts / The Karate Kid direction. However, it completely goes to shit once the martial arts elite nonsense takes over completely, late on; becoming a subpar shounen fighting manga with A++++ art.
In these two publications, delinquents are subjected to teachers who are determined to change their lives for the better. Both teachers teach their students important life lessons.
Hotman is a slice-of-life master's take on GTO.

Enzo is pretty much Onizuka with a daughter & four younger siblings. Where as Oni made his class his 'family', Enzo sacrifices himself for his real family as he deals with the mistakes of his past. Along the way, he finds himself becoming romantically involved with another teacher at the school he teaches at... but, of course, he never seems to get around to sealing the deal.

There are differences between the characters, such as Enzo trying to atone for his past by being a health freak and Onizuka being a complete pervert, but both kick arse... and neither ever have any bubblegum.

GTO has more direction in the sense that Onizuka's goal of winning over a class of rebellious teens is made clear near the start, where as Hotman wanders from mini-arc to mini-arc without warning. But, nonetheless, a fan of one SHOULD love the other.
For anyone who wants know more about the greatest teacher in Japan before he started his 'quest' should give it a try...It follows a timeframe when Onizuka for the first time met Ryuuji and created an 'unique' everlasting bound with him. In meantime struggling in everyday school life...
Both are likeable, manly, rebellious and funny series of the school-comedy-slice of life genre, and both involve delinquents, students, gangs, fights, rivalry, friendship.
The main characters in GTO are older than the ones in Kyou Kara Ore Wa, but the style and hilarity level are overall the same.
It is about high school life and the teachers that judge the persons by appearances. Not totally the same but the comedic value is totally the same. And, GTO is more than perverted than Angel Densetsu. The main character also have same personality, they can sacrifice for the one they eager to protect and no hypocrite personality.
Both deal with a spirited teacher going to teach and the issues that they have with their students.
Both series involve teachers who provide their students with life lessons through unorthodox means. The two series are fun reads full of comedy and drama.
They both deal with confusion, youth, and some sort of 'lesson/s'.
Probably not for the same age groups. But the concepts of each are relatively the same. In that a new person at school is put at odds against a group of students, merely for taking up a position of power. But the protagonist of both manage to turn the hearts of those against them.
Both manga's protagonists tends to teach a lesson, but in a very different way. While Onizuka will let a person to reflect on his actions, Akumetsu will kill them.
I'd say the main characters really resemble each-other quite a bit. And they're both in a school setting revolving around delinquents. They're both tough guys, who're really very stupid, but always have their eyes set on doing what's right. Being nosy and involving themselves when they see something's not right.

I'd say they're remarkably similar.
Both feature teachers that don't always have the best morals, but will do anything for their students. Though Onizuka is more badass than Tairaku.
Both have protagonists who were once ex-delinquents and part of a biker gang in high school. They become teachers with the hopes of boosting their own career and becoming the world's greatest. Because of their rebellious state in the past, they are able to conform with the students' own problems and solve them.

They both break society's norm of a typical teacher. They use their own methods of teaching. Onizuka does so in a more violent and comedic way, while Kenji follows a more logical and intellectual approach.
Protagonists that break society's norm of a typical teacher. They both provide the students with life lessons through unorthodox means. A tentacled monster that plans on destroying the Earth in Ansatsu Kyoushitsu and a reformed biker gang leader in GTO.

Both teachers go through outrageous lengths; following their own unconventional methods to help the students in both school and real life. They are constantly pursuing the ambition to become the world's greatest teacher.
Two strong male protagonists. Their actions influence the people around them and teach them life lessons. GTO is highly regarded as a masterpiece but Hareluya also shines in its own way.
Welcome to the reality of life.
The Main male character is like Onizuka, ex delinquent that turns into a teacher to help kids.
The main character wants to improve his life. Some days are good, others are horrible and are hilarious. Mr. Kurosawa is sort of a "what if" older version of Eikichi Onizuka. Both men are extremely tough and the type of character you want to root for. The main turning point in both manga is that the main character has to deal with some troublesome middle school students. Sometimes it's frustrating to see the main character get punished but there are many rewarding chapters too. If you like a manga with drama, comedy and a meaningful message you won't be disappointed.
A male delinquent takes on a leadership roll and becomes responsible for the well being of his class and his school. Tho he means well people still see him as a delinquent and try to get in his way... lifes not so simple even when you dont fallow the rules
Funny and perverted antics of Onizuka.. Moreover, Onizuka and Makito looks similar in a way actually...
Both are high school comedies featuring a blond main character named Onizuka who is a reformed delinquent. With the series Sket Dance we have Onizuka Himeko, formerly known as Onihime, who is now a proud member of the Sket Dan, an extracurricular club that takes on students' requests for help. With the series Great Teacher Onizuka we have Onizuka Eikichi, formerly known as Eikichi the Oni, who is now striving toward becoming a good teacher now that he's finished a student teaching position successfully. Both shows are mostly comedies with some serious overtimes from time to time, although Sket Dance has a lot more slapstick comedy and general ridiculousness and not taking itself seriously, and pretty much avoids the crude humor often found in Great Teacher Onizuka. How no one thought to rec these series together before I did, I have no flipping idea.

Both these serialisations revolve around teachers who use unorthodox methods to teach problematic students.
Like in Medaka Box, the main character of GTO starts his career at school having to prove himself but slowly wins over the hearts of, well anyone, through unconventional methods. It's a bit hard to explain, so it's just best if you just check it out yourself.
Both mangas have a main character that is, shall we say, eccentric, bold, and impulsive. The main character has to fight against a corrupt sort of system and the people the people that are trying to "protect it". Both main characters have a sort of essence to them that saves the people around them from being "sucked" into the system.
Sun-Ken Rock is pretty much Onizuka moving to Korea and starting a gang in an M rated manga. The humor is pretty similar, and although Ken isn't as much of a loser as Onizuka, they both share some character traits, such as being virtuous fighting machines, with a perverted side.
Both are good examples about how every theme could be turned into an successful and award-winning shounen. Yakitate!! Japan and Great Teacher Onizuka both feature an amazing and likeable main character as well as good and well-written side characters and a hilarious plot - in a good way, of course ;).
Both share the same type of naive, eccentric and perverted protagonists. Though they seem to mess everything up they always end up being liked by everybody in the end. oh, and the comedy is pretty much the same.
The main dudes in both help solve the problems of others presented in arc-format. Plus I guess you could mention both are school related comedies with some romance.......but then again isn't everything?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!
Badass with mad fighting skills becomes a teacher and through his unconventional methods, he reaches the students.
Both GTO and AIKI have a teacher who is evil, crazy and perverse.
even the general feel of both mangas are the same.
