Loving these so far!!
March 20, 2018
*This review is for the series as a whole with 4.5 out of 5 stars*
After watching the anime, I hurriedly got myself a copy of its manga so I can try the first chapter and to see whether I will like it enough to continue. And as you can see, I finished all 15 Volumes in just a week (considering of having a very bad dose of Yuri on Ice hangover, *wink). I don't normally read its manga counterpart after finishing the anime and I usually wait for a month or even a year depending of my mood. But for this case, I think it was because it was so funny even after watching the anime. Every chapter had me laughing my head off that I decided to read all the volumes.
The story was really good. I love that it was different than the others that I have read before plus it's so Japan because of the Yakuza thing and it also drops some cool thing about Japan like the festivals and their culture.
The idea of a Yakuza heiress teaching in an all-boys school which is also known as a school for delinquents is very unique. All the possible questions that you can encounter while reading this story we're all addressed perfectly in this manga. And not just that, I also love the fact that it also features the story of each side characters so we really got to know more about them. And dropping all those lessons while making you laugh at the same time was epic!
The lines were so good, the scenes we're properly executed and they can be funny and emotional when the author intends it to be. What I mean is that this manga was done so flawlessly. No dull moments. I actually laughed hard a lot of time reading this manga, I think I laughed on every chapters, or was that even every pages? Hehe. There's quite a lot of characters and knowing me, I didn't remember their name haha, I'm really bad with names lol. But even if that was the case, I can really say that I know each of them. I understand what they are going through since they all got the chance to share their story, but I just really can't seem to remember their names except Shin and Yankumi hehe (and Shinohara too, haha).
The main character Kumiko is really a badass. Well, what can you expect from a Yakuza heiress eh? But aside from physical strength, she also has a good heart. She lost her parents at a young age so she was taken in by her grandpa which is the 3rd generation leader of the Kuroda clan (also referred to as the Ooedo Clan). She grew up with guys so it was really not a surprise that she grew up as a pretty good fighter. She may not look like it but she's really strong. I love that even with her family background, she decided to pursue her dreams and my, I'm sure so happy for her. Yes, her students were kind of hardheaded but you can really see that they are kind-hearted too. I love how she supports them and give them the lesson that they need to learn. I also love the fact that because she's true to herself she was able to win over the hearts of those people around her even those that was against her from the start. My! This girl is definitely my hero. Aside from that, she’s very funny and dense at the same time too, haha. But even if that was the case, there’s still this one particular student that has his eyes only for her, ayeii!
Gokusen also had some pretty good group of characters that I really love reading about. There's no unnecessary characters here, all of them has a role to play and did them well. I actually don't have any complaints about that. I love the story, I love the characters, I love the settings, I just love everything. And speaking of love, I love Shin here. He really looks hot! Now I can clearly see why the title “The Young Red Lion Master” suits him so well. Plus, those extra chapters were really funny, haha.
Aside from the lessons this manga gives, it also warms my heart because it also highlights family love. You see, this manga explains to us that just because they're a Yakuza it doesn’t mean they're bad entirely. That they also have some good sides too. You really should know someone first before judging them.
But even with all those nice words, why I am giving this manga 4.5 rating? Well, you see, I think there should have been more. The confession was made (finally!) so I really want to see what will happen after this particular student finally graduated and become a lawyer. So yep, that’s my only reason, haha.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

I'm letting this stand for the series, which I just binge read, because it's such light reading that I would feel silly counting it for a multiple books in the reading challenge. I really like the series except for the homophobia- it's a fun, light little series that was really relaxing to read. Funny and cute. The handling of the gay character was less funny and cute, but it was pretty brief and kind of improved? Kind of? It didn't fully ruin my enjoyment anyway.

Yankumi's stint as a teacher continues as she tries to keep her family's yakuza ties hidden but those things become harder as she saves one of her student's mother from a drunkard. The characters are still hilarious and the story develops well over the chapters. a great addition to the overall story.

Fun series! In this one, we get backstory on why Kumiko wanted to become a teacher and see the students get up to entertaining hijinks. 4 stars.

Tập này đi vào lý do vì sao Yakumi quyết định làm giáo viên trong khi lớn lên cùng cả băng xã hội đen. Mình thích mấy cái tình huống hài của bộ này ghê. Nó nhẹ nhàng mà không quá lố

(stejná recenze u každého dílu)
Tento styl kresby je na josei mangu opravdu neobvyklý. Musím říci, že mně se líbil, jelikož pak jste ani nemuseli rozhodovat to, komu fandit., protože tu byly dohromady tak dvě pěkné mužské postavy. A navíc díky té kresbě tuto mangu rozhodně s žádnou jinou nezaměníte.
Líbilo se mi, že Yankumi se postupně stávala pro její studenty vzorem a obdivovali ji a věděli, že se na ní mohou spolehnout. To mi přišlo dost roztomilé. A ke všemu se poté ukázalo, že nikdo ze studentů není vyloženě špatný. Jen potřebovali trochu nakopnout od Yankumi. :D
Také se mi líbila to, jak i Yakuza je vlastně jedna velká rodina, když se nikdo jiný nekouká. A hlavně v přítomnosti Yankumi. :D
Dosti jsem oceňovala Yankuminu schopnost se o sebe postarat a její super sílu. Přestože byla silná jak něco, tak ji byli schopni silnější a o dost větší chlápci přeprat, což dávalo smysl, jelikož ženská nemůže jen tak přeprat třikrát většího chlápka. Samozřejmě že je na konci poté porazila, ale s pomocí, takže to bylo stále uvěřitelné.
Přišlo mi roztomilé, jak se Shin i přesto, že nebyl tak silný jako gangsteři, snažil Yankumi pomáhat či se ji pokoušel zachraňovat. A pak jak se mu pomáhali i jeho kamarádi. :D
Nechápala jsem, jak mohl ten pan právník milovat Yankumi, když jsme se žádných projevů jeho lásky nedočkali. Maximálně tak ke konci, to podle mě ale ani moc jako projev lásky nevypadalo, spíš to byl nějaký projev náklonnosti. Láskou bych to opravdu nenazvala.
A dosti mě rozesmával i učitelský sbor, ten byl prostě brilantní. Hlavně pan ředitel. :D
Obálky mě moc neoslnily, ale ty poslední dvě se mi hodně líbí.

This is getting funnier and better.
Yankumi is one hell of a teacher and Ojou. The way she talks, her Yakuza dialect, her way of intimidate people. In this volume her students get to know her better and respect her. At least they know she can kick butts, not only Shin is aware of this fact. And they start to behave, to try to be better at school. But what is the best is how this group of 'gangsters' start to sweat when Yankumi looses control.
Also, there is a little bit of her story, how she became the 'big sister' of her two sidekicks, and how she decided to be a teacher.

Yankumi continues to be a badass. Her students are warming up to her.
I was a bit shocked to know that Yankumi is older than Tetsu and Minoru. She's around 23 years old. I thought she'd be younger.
In this volume, it was explained why she was inspired to be a teacher. She's also protective of everyone around her. Typical Yankumi. Also, 16-year-old Yankumi is cute yet deadly at the same time. She already proved strong at that age.

I love this series. Yankumi is a teacher trying to make it in the toughest school in the are full of delinquents whilst hiding a big secret of her own. An amazing series with interesting characters and fun ideas of trust, believing in others and going out there.

I'd forgotten Kuma's mom was so tough! The whole scene in the hostess club is awesome -- Yankumi is so kakkoi!
