This is definitely one of the most hilarious, and brilliant, Manga I have ever read.
As if Great Teach Onizuka wasn’t hilarious enough, The Early Years (or Shonan Junai Gumi) brings us the same kind of comedy, and then some. But mind you, the show is much more adult than GTO. In fact, it has an 18+ mature rating.
This volume basically is the story of Onizuka’s and Danma’s past as teenagers. At it’s start, both of them seem to be at their peak of hooligan-ness. However, they decided to change their looks and behavior and follow a different path: they try to lose their virginity. From trying to act like nerds, to almost being rapped, the two of them go through a bit of everything, and sometimes you can’t help but to feel sorry for them.
Although that’s not the kind of story you’re used to seeing in GTO, if I wanted to make comedy that revolves mostly around sex, I doubt I’d reach a level similarly close to “The Early Years”. I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed GTO, and, of course, is over 18.
