Synopsis

22-year-old Eikichi Onizuka: pervert, former gang member... and teacher?

Great Teacher Onizuka follows the incredible, though often ridiculous, antics of the titular teacher as he attempts to outwit and win over the cunning Class 3-4 that is determined to have him removed from the school. However, other obstacles present themselves throughout—including the frustrated, balding vice principal, Hiroshi Uchiyamada; old enemies from his biker days; and his own idiotic teaching methods. But Eikichi fights it all whilst trying to help his students, romance fellow teacher Azusa Fuyutsuki, and earn his self-proclaimed title.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

Also contains the gaiden "GTO: Great Toroko Oppai♡" (Tomoko's Big Adventures).

GTO won the 22nd Kodansha Manga Award in the Shounen category in 1998.

The series was published in English as GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka by Tokyopop from April 23, 2002, to August 9, 2005. Kodansha Comics USA republished the series digitally on February 1, 2022. It was also released in Polish by Waneko from June 2004 to June 2010.

Several live-action adaptations of GTO were made. A 12-episode television drama was broadcast from July 7, 1998, to September 22, 1998. A revival of the drama series aired on April 1, 2024. It was followed by a live-action film released on December 18, 1999; the film became the 10th highest-grossing Japanese film of 2000. A second drama adaptation was broadcast from July 3, 2012, to September 11, 2012. A joint project between Japanese and Taiwanese productions called GTO in Taiwan aired first in Taiwan from March 22, 2014, to April 12, 2014, and later in Japan. Another GTO drama aired from July 8, 2014, to September 16, 2014.

The Greatest Teacher!

After I started reading GTO, I enjoyed it! I rated it pretty harshly in the beginning, but took a step back and I enjoyed it a lot more after doing so!
However, I hit a bit of a wall. Progress stopped at around chapter 99 or so, probably due exam week coming up and general motivation for reading it dipping. However, I persisted! And I’m glad I did!

For starters, GTO's comedy was good throughout. I remember a lot of the best jokes being after maybe 50+ chapters, before that they were just alright and I didn't find them THAT funny. Onizuka’s weird antics and ...

I first found out about GTO by going through all the top rated manga on MAL, as you do. If you listen to anyone online, you'd think that GTO is one of the best manga ever written, with no doubts. I went and specifically tried to find bad reviews, and it was hard to find any. So I went in with sky high expectations, only to find myself...a little disappointed. That isn't to say GTO is a horrible manga, however. If you manage to stick through it and deal with its problems, I do think that it is a read that is worth your time.

This manga is the biggest pile of hot, steaming garbage I have ever read.
The author manages to fill in 200 chapters with constant pedophilia, rape, violence and countless other fucked up shit.
The comedy is bad, and I cant believe the sort of ideas it fed japanese kids back when it was publishing. How this averages an 8.88 on MAL is beyond me. If you argue it tries to criticise all these fucked up things by making the characters normalise them, you have an enormous copium addiction.
The last couple volumes try so hard to be super philosophical and deep when all it really manages ...
