GTO is as realistic as SaiKano?

Sure there are some REALLY extreme situations in GTO, but unlike SaiKano, there is a major difference... Great Teacher Onizuka FEELS real. You get the feeling that Onizuka is a real guy, that the guys and girls around him are real people and that it could actually happen to you.

OK, so not all of us have a corrupt cop friend, or a black belt in karate, or connections to the yakuza, but that is part of the point is GTO: Putting the most unlikely of individuals (Onizuka) in the most unlikely of positions (a Teacher). Onizuka's approach to the problems is unique and funny... but those problems are very real, and, unfortunately, very common.

The manga definitely has a realistic feel to it... You get the feeling that it could happen somewhere, somehow.
