Tooru Fujisawa's Great Teacher Onizuka (abbreviated as GTO) tells the story of Eiichi Onizuka, a 22-year-old former motorcycle gang member turned high school teacher. Originally premiering in Weekly Shonen Magazine, the recently-released manga has continued through 25 volumes, sold over 50 million copies and been adapted into four separate television specials, a live-action film and a 43-episode anime series. However, GTO has accrued its share of controversy: in Manga: The Complete Guide, Jason Thompson describes GTO as "shameless, frequently sexist and totally hilarious" -- an opinion that tracks as easily to the series' premise as its titular protagonist.
