Том про очередного извращенца с психическими отклонениями, который работает учителем в элитной частной школе. Ощущение, что в этой школе все психи-извращенцы.
Полицейские упустили этого психа, поэтому освобождать заложников, которых взял этот учитель, пришлось главному герою, что абсурдно из-за его четырёх пулевых ранений.
Главный вопрос: а посадили ли это психа в тюрьму за его преступления? А то на протяжении всей манги все преступники уходят от закона даже при наличии свидетелей и доказательств.
Короче, бредовый том.

This is my favorite installment in the series thus far. It's a suspensful, heartfelt conclusion to Teshigawara's story that as always left me wanting more. And we are briefly introduced to Onizuka's newest nemesis, Ms. Daimon-who makes Teshigawara look like a saint. All in all, this volume is Onizuka at it's best.

"Please, Mr. Teshigawara, stop this. You of all people should know that this is ridiculous behavior. I realize you've lived under a lot of pressure... but that is no excuse. Everybody lives with pressure--some more than others. But that's not society's fault. It's not event your parents' fault. It's our own fault. It is up to each of us, individually, to deal with our own problems."

I can't believe that a whole other volume was wasted on that creepy teacher. However, I have to admit that at the end it got better. It was will written specially about his father and his obsession of his old work .

Another very fine volume. Onizuka doesn't seek to punish bad people but to rehabilitate them. He is able to acknowledge the damage that caused their distress.

Le beau temps contraste avec l'ambiance lourde instaurée dans ce 19e tome de Great Teacher Onizuka. Teshigawara devient fou et une violence malsaine s'empare du récit. Face à cette violence, même Onizuka ne sera pas insensible. Deux scènes très marquantes, celle des coups de feu et l'autre dans l'école. Nous apprenons aussi la vie de Teshigawara, une vie nulle, froide, broyés par la pression sociale de la société japonaise. Les scènes avec la voisine sont touchantes. Difficile aussi de se rendre compte comment la solitude et l'angoisse transforme un être vivant en personne violente, égoïste, manipulatrice totalement déconnectée de notre réalité. Fin de l'arc Teshigawara, moment puissant et prenant, conversation solide entre les deux hommes. C'est peut-être ici que se montre le vrai message de GTO : Onizuka ne sauve pas les gens, ils leur ouvrent les yeux. Puis, c'est à eux de décider s'ils veulent s'en sortir… Ou non.
Bon tome avec son lot d'émotion et d'action comme on aime. La fin du tome réserve une nouvelle surprise... L'arc final s'enclenche !

Funniest Series EVER! My absolute favorite!! Teshigawara, having been busted, flips out and goes on a major rampage, posing as a cop. He shoots Onizuka four times, takes the school and the Headmistress hostage, while Fuyutsuki remains his captive. Some students try to help, but only get caught themselves. Onizuka shows up at the school and as usual tries to talk some sense into the man. It doesn't really work seeing as he ends up jumping off the roof anyway. Teshigawara's older genius brother shows up, too and reveals that he and his father both lost their prestigious jobs and their father has gone nutty so Teshi is actually doing better than them all now and shouldn't feel inferior. That doesn't work either and this is when he jumps. We also learn about his tragic past because, of course there's one in every case. I still don't like Teshigawara and I hope he disappears from the series altogether. The last two volumes are not my favorite because of the main running story, but there are still a couple of funny side stories in them.

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.
