Sunsets over Great Teacher Onizuka Manga as Paradise Lost Ends this Fall

Great Teacher Onizuka is a goldmine of legendary memes. Its plot is so questionable that it’s a surprise that the FBI has not been called on Onizuka Sensei.

The manga started way back in 1997, by mangaka Tohru Fujisawa. The series has spawned multiple spinoff mangas, got live-action adaptations, and an anime series.

Due to its popularity, I can bet that even you might have seen glimpses of this great literature somewhere.

However, it seems like mangaka Fujisawa will finally put the 24-year legacy to rest!

The Great Teacher Onizuka mangaka Tohru Fujisawa announced on Saturday that the sequel GTO: Paradise Lost is intended to be the “last” manga in the series.

He added by saying that he hopes to return to his other unfinished works.

Tohru Fujisawa, in the past, has shown interest in starting a new story. However, most of the work gets relegated due to his commitment to Great Teacher Onizuka.

In 2019, he drew a one-shot for a science fiction manga titled “Sodom Keepers.”

He even announced a new manga series titled Re: Animal Joe on 13th May 2019. However, the manga only ran for two chapters. Moreover, his Red Data-Planet manga with co-creator Iomaru was not even launched.

Mangaka Tohru Fujisawa announced on Wednesday that he would resume her GTO: Paradise Lost manga in Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine after finishing both chapters of his Re: Joe Animal manga.

Eikichi Onizuka is a crude yet intelligent ex-biker gangster who plans to become the best teacher ever to woo teenage girls as his bride (Moshi Moshi… FBI desu ka).

However, the path to pedophilia is not that easy, with his students pulling off pranks on their great teacher.

The series takes us on the journey of Onizuka as he wins over the hearts of his students one by one and becomes the best teacher ever!

There are 15 published volumes of the Great Teacher Onizuka: Paradise Lost, with the sixteenth volume set to release on 6th July 2021. The volumes are only available on Kodansha’s Comic Plus service.

The mangaka will disclose more details about how the series will end in the upcoming chapters; it is yet to be decided if the 16th volume is the last.

However, with such an enormous legacy, the series will surely not die, with the recent uptick in gag comedy such as Mr. Osomatsu, there is still a future! 

So don’t miss out on the upcoming volumes! 

About Great Teacher Onizuka

Great Teacher Onizuka, officially abbreviated as GTO, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tooru Fujisawa. It was originally serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine from January 1997 to February 2002.

It is a continuation of Fujisawa’s earlier manga series Shonan Junai Gumi and Bad Company, both of which focus on the life of Onizuka before becoming a teacher.

Eikichi Onizuka, a 22-year-old ex-biker gang leader, leaves his old life behind to become the greatest teacher of all time.

However, his passion is something completely different from teaching. He wants a loving teen wife for his old-age, and a high school is a perfect place for wooing a teenager.

Onizuka finds a place to prove his worth and hence begins the psychological warfare between witty teens who hate all teachers and a perverted, lazy and greedy yet, intelligent teacher, Onizuka.
