GTU -Ikari no DEATH Yamada- (or Great Teacher Uchiyamada), the new manga from GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka‘s Tohru Fujisawa, has begun serialization on HERO’s’ Comiplex. The first two chapters were released on the same date, October 18 JST.
The series’ protagonist is one of the characters in GTO: Hiroshi Uchiyamada, the Vice President of the Holy Forest Academy (or Tokyo Kisshou Gakuin). Those who didn’t read GTO or watch the anime may still recognize Uchiyamada from this oft-seen meme.
The Comiplex synopsis of GTU -Ikari no DEATH Yamada- says that Uchiyamada finds himself in Kabukicho while searching for a runaway student, marking the start of the teacher’s “nightmare.”
GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka made its debut in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine back in 1997. After ending in 2002, it returned as GTO SHONAN 14DAYS in 2009. There are also multiple spin-offs and the sequel GTO Paradise Lost.
Kodansha USA describes GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka as:
Meet Eikichi Onizuka, a 22-year-old virgin and ex-biker. He’s crude, foul-mouthed, and has a split-second temper. His goal: to be the Greatest High School Teacher in the world! Onizuka may think he’s the toughest guy on campus, but when he meets his class full of bullies, blackmailers and scheming sadists, he’ll have to prove it.
