Im planning 2 read the manga after watching the anime. What volume or ch. should i start to read where the anime left off? Or r there many side stories that the anime didn't show that i should just read from the beginning? i think the anime left off after the trip to Okinawa and the other episodes after that weren't from the manga

thx in advance

GTO is so hilarious that you should just read it from the start...

I think volume 14 and chapter 104 or 107, somewhere around there.

The anime doesn't hold a candle to the manga, this and shonan junai gume are some of the best examples of orriginal manga out there, Onizuka is a larger than life character but a lot of the stuff is real slice of life Japan giving us a peek at what problems kids in japan face from bullying to issues with status and how they deal with them.

sorry to resurrect an old thread but i felt rather than starting a new one, this option would be better.

anyway as GTO has been my 2nd favourite anime ever since i first saw years ago i've decided its time to get the manga.
I found out that they've started releasing GTO: The early years in english and I was wondering whether i should read this first before GTO (when he's a teacher)?

It's fine to just start with the GTO

noktown · 2008-09-24, 15:54

Yeah the early years are a completely different storie,nothing related to GTO,but its so funny too lol,i like how Onizuka's friend (keep forgetting his name) approaches a girl when he is hard and she freaks out lol...

Anyways i just wanted to ask about GTO manga,does it have a proper ending ?I mean a conclusive ending or an ending similiar to the anime ?

Eh, it's about half-and-half. Most things are cleared up, most loose ends are tied, but there are plenty of open ended things too. I haven't watched the anime myself, but I've read spoilers, and I have to say that the manga ending is much more satisfying than the anime's.

So Azusa and Onizuka never hook up huh? too bad I thought Azusa loved Onizuka and Onizuka wanted a girlfriend so what went wrong there?

Jarppa · 2008-11-24, 13:31

Urumi!

sorry for oneliner

Dark Mage · 2008-11-24, 14:06

Does Urumi like Onizuka as well? She is hot lol I am sure if she was 19 Onizuka would have gone oyt with her. But I had a feeling that he really liked Azusa

-Sho- · 2008-11-24, 14:08

The manga is more better than the anime (the design character is very goods, its very well drew!) but one point , the end was rushed !i wanted more !!!Me i started the manga first then the anime (he killed the manga) !

Mykas · 2008-11-25, 12:02

There is a reference in the live action movie to Onizuka hooking up with someone (maybe Azusa). As for Urumi it is established pretty clearly in the manga that both her and Tomoko had it bad for Onizuka. Tomoko was especially amusing to watch since her confidante and make up artist is Shinomi who is the girl that chases after him in Shonan Junai Gumi.

No it leaves it open ended really lame so he's still a virgin, then again never liked her character that much Urumi would have been a better match for Onizuka. Plus it would have fulfilled the fantasy/dream that Onizuka said he wanted early on in the manga about marring a high school girl something like that, plus isn't she older the 18 right? and clearly loves him in the manga so it's okay.

kujoe · 2008-11-25, 17:47

Just wait a few years, then Urumi will be ok for him. However, it seems that despite Onizuka's dirty mind, he does believe in being a teacher and cares for his students, so maybe that's his stance on things.

Four girls are actually after him by the end of the manga. Obvious ones are Azusa, and Urumi. Then there's Tomoko, and one minor character... the daughter of the vice-principal. He also seems to get along well with that guy's mother, probably as friends or maybe something else, but I'm not really sure. The story never really focuses on that one.

From what I heard, the live action drama has more on Onizuka and Azusa. But yes, I also think that Urumi would be a better romantic interest in the manga.

Freeter · 2009-06-08, 20:55

*judo kicks thread*

Shonan 14 Days ch 1 is out. Man, how I missed GTO. The ending was decent, but Onizuka's antics will never get old. Seeing all those familiar faces brought a huge smile to my face (especially Urumi

).

Spoiler for 1:

I'm hoping the series isn't as short as the title implies. I'd like to see another class trip arc, especially now that Miyabi's reformed.

Jinx626 · 2009-06-09, 00:56

I am hoping a somebody picks this up as a project. More GTO is a good a thing. I want more Urumi Kanzaki

-Sho- · 2009-06-09, 01:39

Any fansub will sub this manga ?

Cio · 2009-06-09, 04:47

I hope manga-heaven take this...

And looks like Onizuka have new hair? almost bald???

kuroishinigami · 2009-06-09, 05:30

Urumi is cute with her jealousy when Onizuka shows his pervert nature ^^. But it seems his status as a teacher is what keeps him form considering her as a candidate. Maybe as soon as she graduates :P.

So Onizuka got a new series? This' gonna be fun ^^, though I somehow think that the manga already ended nicely(all the students in his class got reformed in the end)

Seeing all those familiar faces brought a huge smile to my face (especially Urumi ). Spoiler for 1: Oh boy, another Miyabi clone, only with shorter hair? Been there, done that. The other new girl looks almost like a Julia/Naoko hybrid. Possible new rival for Asuza, this ought to be good And more Cresta antics already, I love it. Haruhi paint job is too good I'm hoping the series isn't as short as the title implies. I'd like to see another class trip arc, especially now that Miyabi's reformed. __________________
