GTO

GTO (2002–2006) from Egmont Ehapa is a German-language comic adaptation that distills the wild, heartfelt mayhem of the original manga into 25 issues. Following the irreverent former gangster turned teacher Eikichi Onizuka as he takes on a class of troubled students at a private school, the series balances outrageous slapstick with genuine emotional depth. Writer and artist Tōru Fujisawa’s signature chaotic energy and unflinching look at youth and redemption made this run a memorable entry for European readers discovering the story.
