3,5 stars

I must say I am really impressed; there are things happening in this volume that were set up several volumes before. Most manga series never see a volume 16, let alone a 25! Toru Fujisawa must have incredible planning ability plus the self-confidence of the Great Teacher Onizuka.

[Stephen Nagy · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this volume of GTO, the comedy and wit are balanced to an even score. The series only continues to exceed my expectations and leave me wanting more.

Окончание раздражающей и абсурдной арки с прогульщиком. Он снова творит ерунду и всем вредит, но нужно спустить ему всё с рук, ведь он ребёночек с крупными психологическими проблемами (отсутствие порки).

Начало арки с влюблённостью школьницы-вундеркинда к главному герою. Она снова крушит школу и за это ей ничего, я уверен, не будет. К тому же имеется подистория с величайшими подростковыми проблемами школьницы, которая убежала из дома и главному герою пришлось её кормить и искать ей приют. Хотя ранее из неё прямо выливалась наглость, но, как прижало, побежала плакаться в жилетку взрослому.
Завуч слетел с катушек и бегает за главным героем по школе с ножом в руке, в конце концов, пырнув его в спину. Видимо, какой завуч, такие и дети. В цивилизованной стране этого завуча посадили бы в тюрьму. Свидетелей куча, ранение есть. Но, я уверен, снова все преступления сойдут с рук. Ведь Япония в 2000-ом году по уровню законодательства находится где-то между Зимбабве и Сомали, о чём и старается поведать нам автор.

This volume was more about the girls than anyone else, even Onizuka had little appearing in it. It starts with Miyabe leaving her house because they were becoming more of a phony family everyday.
Then it goes into the relationship between Tomoko and Miyabe with the late sleeping on the other one's apartment. Then the arc depict the story of Urumi and her struggle with her mum and how she never recognized her disappearance. The volume ends with two chapters depicting the fight between the two, where Miyabe spilling the beans about the real story of the birth of Urumi and the late going berserk about it.

"Don't be so naive. I've got an ulterior motive. Many. Two, maybe three, probably four."

La fin de l'arc Mayu et c'est bien ainsi, le tome précédent se suffit à lui-même. On suit Miyabi, avec Tomoko et aussi Kanzaki. On se prend un peu plus d'empathie pour Miyabi, cliché des familles où tout le monde sait, mais se tait. Onizuka l'aide à se sentir mieux. On bifurque ensuite sur la vie de Kanzaki. La rencontre entre sa mère et le GTO est inoubliable, moment loufoque comme seul ce manga peut nous offrir. La relation entre Kanzaki et Onizuka évolue, dans un moment très attachant, mais je suis soulagé que le prof fasse preuve, pour une fois, de bon sens. Les trois-quarts du tome se laissent lire, mais tout s'emballe à la fin. Cette fois, pas de doute : le duel Miyabi et Kanzaki, sous-jacent depuis quelques tomes est lancé : la vengeance d'Urumi ne semble pas avoir de limite, baroud d'honneur avant de vouloir disparaître.
Un tome très réussi dans son développement et une fin qui ne donne qu'une envie : lire la suite.

Funniest Series EVER! My absolute favorite!! This volume and the next are all about the relationship between Urumi and Miyabi and their respective parents. The beginning is Onizuka still trying to chase down and maim Mayu, but he fails utterly and it's hilarious. Uchiyamada finds his life is falling apart which is amusing. Especially the part about his daughter looking like the meat delivery man's daughter. lol Onizuka's no flushing violation in Urumi's ma's house was omg so disgustingly hilarious. Also featured is the Urumi/Onizuka romance which was so sweet, albeit brief.

[William Hayman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this series first back in adolescence, and as I go through the same books this present day I find how resonant some themes that the author touches upon remain. Surely at face value the series might come across as silly or over the top; but it is in fact deeply rooted in everyday themes, troubles, vulnerabilities, passions among other threads. A real depiction of human connection as a manga can get.
