Funniest Series EVER! My absolute favorite!! The new principal shows up and is passive agressively trying to get Oni sensei to leave by installing a point-based pay program tilted out of Onizuka's favor. In an attempt to earn badly needed points, Onizuka brings back a truant student which turns out to be more trouble than he bargained for since the students father is a Yakuza boss and the boy weilds a gun. Two transfer students arrive, one being a plant by the new principal whose mission is to secretly clean the school of undisirable male students by using her Tae Kwon Do skills against them. A pretty good volume. Plenty of laughs.

Очередной абсурдный том. Прибыл новый завуч, цель которого - уволить главного героя. Ощущение, что вокруг него вертится весь мир, потому что все хотят ему помешать работать.
Завуч вводит систему поощрительных баллов, которые могут, как уменьшить, так и увеличить зарплату. Не знаю, как в Японии, но в цивилизованных странах запрещено понижать зарплату ниже минимально допустимой. А здесь из этого строят такую проблему, будто работодатель царь и бог.
А ещё появляется очередной школьник-прогульщик. Он не ходил в школу уже два года, но почему-то состоит в списках. Это как вообще?
В конце, внезапно, из воздуха появились ещё два ученика. Один суицидник, а вторая подставляет всех, а ей верят. Почему? Потому что она девочка. Этого достаточно.
Глупость.

Ms Daimon is an interesting, yet demotivating character that both has a way stealing the spotlight away from Onizuka's usual light hearted adventures. Here he is also portayed as more cowardly in this volume, wetting his pants twice in the same book. That and the two "new" students are just about as fun. You got yet another spineless wimp who gets bullied into doing everything (leading up to my favorite scene where Onizuka pranks those bullies into submission) and yet another slease who spends the cliff hanger giving the most intelligent character her panties. Not my favorite volume but I do want to see Ms. Daimon get hers.

Along with Kanzaki and Miyu we get introduced in this volume to three new characters. Two of whom are already in the class but had just get back to school, and a bitch "literally" who's a transferred student.

Not a fan of the new arc so far but hopefully it gets better.

New principal, new rules, same teacher, same hilariously awesome story!

[David Doel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hope it's because a new story arc is starting because this volume was not as enjoyable as the previous 3. Hopefully, things will get better for the final 5 volumes.

"Course, you'll never know about those kinds of people, because you just want to spend your life in your room"

[Carta Book · Rating 4 out of 5]

On est clairement sur le début d'un arc : nouveaux personnages dans le corps enseignant, nouveaux élèves, beaucoup de changements dans l'établissement du GTO. L'auteur utilise encore la carte de l'élève qui ne vient pas en cours depuis le début de l'année, mais ça fonctionne moins : histoire atypique, mais ça fait redondant et il n'a pas le même charisme que Mayu. Un autre problème, c'est la découverte loufoque d'un nouvel élève qui tombe quelque peu comme un cheveu sur la soupe… Même si GTO est irréaliste, c'est peut-être un peu trop gros.
Les ennuis se succèdent pour Onizuka. Quelques plans intéressant notamment dans sa lutte contre la nouvelle directrice. Les deux se livrent un duel à distance. Mais est-ce qu'Onizuka résistera aux coups bas de ce nouveau personnage ? À voir...
Le tome se clos sur une nouvelle élève qui va être problématique… En bref, on repart pour un nouvel arc. Intensité dans le duel Onizuka, directrice, mais un peu fade et redondant. Un peu peur pour cet arc final.

[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.

Hilarious satirical take on teaching, filled with irony.

[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the best mangas ever made. One of the very, very few that I would genuinely call 'inspiring'.
