Former gangster Onizuka is ready to put aside his punkish ways and join the working world as a teacher.

He’ll have to use his street smarts to deal with students and faculty alike if he’s ever going to become a Great Teacher.

5.0 out of 5 stars GTO, the life continues, June 20, 2002

The second GTO book picks up a faster pace and provides more dimension to Great Teacher Onizuka. The realistic character of a young turk turned teacher is amusing and different from other manga titles. The strong personality of Onizuka is balanced with his experience (zero) with girls. A fun and provocative enterntainment.

This review is from: GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

This second volume of GTO elevates Eikichi Onizuka to the level of superhero as he breaks down the barriers between one of his students he taught during his training and her alienated parents and gives them hope for a better future. He's finally ready to get his first job as a teacher but a problem arises on the bus to his interview. As he is looking at a woman's [posterior] and thinks about grabbing her, some other pervert beats him to it, and ironically, Onizuka ends up defending her honor by delivering a nasty blow to his face. Onizuka comes to find out that the woman, Azusa Fuyutsuki, is interviewing at the same school as him and the person he hit is the prinicipal doing the hiring. Not a very auspicious start.

This second book was as good if not better than the first. The plot and characters become a little more deep as GTO must confront some more profound issues than just simply lusting after young girls. What really comes out in this volume is the sense of his goodness which lurks behind the posturing youth. We also find that his reason for teaching is transforming into that of helping the kids instead of sleeping with them. Great read.

Just as good as the one before it. I've already watched the complete Anime TV series. I loved it so much that I did not expect that the Mange could have bin any better however the manga is much better then the TV series. There's comedy, action, love, brief nudity, mindless violence and everyone likes mindless violence... Just buy the damn thing.
