So Onizuka is going to show him what it means to shot someone. He's gonna let him experience being hunted down. The school of hard knocks is back in session!
Review
“If I had to boil it down to a high concept, I’d probably say that GTO is about believing in yourself enough to have a good time in life. Fujisawa does a pretty good job balancing the more saccharine elements of the series with the knock-down, drag-out, somewhat perverted jokes. It’s clearly a comedy, but when it takes a turn into drama, it doesn’t feel unnatural. 14 Days in Shonan looks like one of those series that can be brutally funny when it wants to be…I’ve got high hopes.” —Comics Alliance
“Cracking open Vertical Inc.’s release of GTO: 14 Days in Shonan brought back a lot of manga memories. A lot of the comedy comes not from what’s going on around or happening to Onizuka, but how he reacts to it all… Established fans will definitely get more out of it, but there’s enough fun here to ‘open the doors of all hearts,’ as Onizuka himself would put it.” —Otaku USA Magazine
“While I’ve largely fallen out of manga for a number of reasons, there are certain things that will always draw me back. Discovering that the man behind Great Teacher Onizuka decided to do another series focusing on the character is definitely one of them… The opening volume makes things well connected to the original and adjusts to the new situation with ease in a way that doesn’t detract or impact what has come before… This is a ride I am completely enthused about.” —Fandom Post
