Synopsis
Eikichi Onizuka's past: leader of a motorcycle gang, feared across Shonan, functionally unemployable. His new career goal: homeroom teacher at Holy Forest Academy, reason unknown even to himself. The students of Class 3-4 have a record of breaking teachers — each one is a specialized problem with a history of emotional warfare against every adult who's tried to reach them. Against them: Onizuka's complete immunity to conventional social pressure, surprising emotional intelligence hidden under theatrical incompetence, and an absolute refusal to give up on any student regardless of how badly they try to drive him away. Great Teacher Onizuka (Tohru Fujisawa) is 200 chapters of comedy drama with a heart of genuine steel — one of the most beloved teacher characters in manga history, in a series that earned that reputation chapter by chapter.
