GTO is a series that is heavily referred as one of the all time greats by the small group of people who read the manga. While reading i could see who this was trying to appeal to but it was not for someone like me who wants a little more thought into some of these arcs. There are some decent chapters in the series that get drowned out by 30 plus chapters of the most boring shit ive had to sit through. This was a series that fell into the bleach problem but worse of re-doing the same story beats over and over again hoping they will keep landing (the students attempting to take their lives on the roof occurs 6-7 times while other methods are attempted 3 times during the course of 190+ actual chapters). The author was out of ideas, don't beat around the bush.

While 1 or 2 good motivation speeches take place, it doesn't mean anything when this man my age is the most perverted person i have ever seen. I personally found it hard to respect him when he had to constantly fight off the urge to sleep with minors. Sometimes he would of gone through with it if he wasn't stopped either. This must occur 5+ times as well (repetitive).

I was also about to start a drinking game based on how many times a E tier character would show up and say (im gonna get him fired). Go count the amount of times this happens, even as just a cliffhanger, its high teen double digits. Repetitive.

Lets not talk about how he threatens his students with them being, uh touched, by old men.

too much text each page as well, it isn't a novel bro. Also, what were those boring idol spin off chapters that lasted forever???? they never matter

Here are the positive points:
- good art
- Decent action
- Great hype points when Onizuka wants to do some cool shit
- Some student characters like the geek have the best scenes.
- Perverted teacher is a great villain, shame i would say Onizuka is no better.
- Perverted Teacher goes out with a bang.

If u like series that try to be edgy and love self harm topics this might be for you, it was not a great experience for me
