SUMMARY: GTO: Shonan 14 Days is a side story that takes place in the timeline of the original story of Great Teacher Onizuka. Onizuka leaves school over a misunderstanding and lays low in his hometown of Shonan. There he runs into a colleague's acquaintance and helps out at a home for wayward kids.

Fujisawa Tohru wrote Shonan 14 Days 7 years after the completion of Great Teacher Onizuka and fans of the original are sure to enjoy this manga. It has a similar feel to the original story with new characters and story lines.

This was a very good anime. I read both mangas (Tatakae! Ryouzanpaku Shijou Saikyou no Deshi and HSD:Kenichi) and enjoyed them very much. The anime follows the story of the second manga. It has good story lines that are not too convoluted with a lot of filler. My only complaint is that there is plenty story to tell and the anime is only 50 eps. long. I mean there are long running animes out there that are too long for there own good, but I felt Kenichi could at least got a few more seasons.

TATAKAE! RYOUZANPAKU SHIJOU SAIKYOU NO DESHI is pretty much a a prequel of History's Stronger Disciple Kenichi. There are some characters that are the same for the most part(missing Shigure and Apachi from Ryouzanpaku)Some like different (Takeda, Kisara, Hermit, and Ma Kensei). The story is still the same premise(weakling desires to train in martial arts for self-defense). I would recommend this manga if you like HSD:kenichi. Its like an alternate universe.

I've seen this anime about 30 years ago. I still remember watching this movie on a Sunday afternoon. It was part of the Sunday matinee on TV. At the time I had no idea it was a Japanese cartoon, but the story and artwork was pretty good. I'm not here really to review this anime, more like rant nostalgically about an entertaining and well-done anime. If you ever have a chance to see this anime, do not pass it up if you believe you are a true fan of the sub-culture.

How the hell is this not an anime? This is one of the best mangas i've read in a while. The characters are entertaining and likable, the story is funny and exciting, and the artwork is great. When i first stumbled across gem, I read the first 17 chapters and wanted to read more, but work got in the way. Seriously, if you like girls who kick ass and ecchi, read this manga.
