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. read more 

In Hotman, like here, there is a family with its own problems, there is a woman who wants to become a part of this family. Also, much attention is paid to kinship relations. 

Hotman is the dramatic version of Yotsuba with a single father, who would be similar to Jumbo, raising his group of daughters as he struggles financially. Hotman is essentially a combination of Great Teacher Onizuka and Yotsuba with a mix of some romantic drama aimed at a mature audience. 

Both guys were living their lives as they were until they found out they were fathers to their daughters. My Girl revolves around Kazama finding out his ex-love had died and she left him a daughter which he did not know of. While Hotman, is about a man who had a troubled life in his younger days without caring about the consequences, left him with a baby with a skin disease. Both men carefully change their ways for their daughters as single fathers (even though in Hotman, the father has his siblings). 

Since no one else has bothered to mention it, I figured I might as well through this out there. Similar slice-of-life, father cares for daughter premise. Hotman has a much more extensive cast (partially due to its length), and a bit more of a serious edge, but fans of either series should enjoy the other.
