You know, with so much resemblance with the GTO series, I'm thinking Gokusen was written by the same person.
Let me explain better...
The illustration has a GTO-like stroke although it's a bit immature compared to the GTO series (which makes me think that maybe Gokusen was the author's first work).
Besides the story follows the perfect style of GTO (with a different teacher who knows how to fight and do some shit awesome things).

The Kuroda family. I love how the story reveals some of the backstories of the characters.
Oshima Kyoutarou is introduced, who is like a big brother to Yankumi. Who also taught her how to fight.
7-year-old Yankumi is kawaii!
Fujiyama-sensei is more interesting than she lets on. There's something underneath all that make-up that say she's not what everyone thinks she is. Her backstory is also told in this volume.
Yankumi and Shin are getting closer! I ship them. I really love reading this manga.

*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

Volume 3 is where this story really starts taking off. A lot of sub plots are being set up with Yankumi the school and her yakuza family. New characters are introduced like the enforcer that just served a 3 year stint in prison and some small time baddies return. Overall a great volume and a great read.

The best of the three I reread today. Good pacing, action, character development, and humor. Pretty easy to understand once I looked up the yakuza-related words. 4.5 stars.

Je suis de plus en plus accro à cette série, elle est marrante et mignonne à la fois avec son mélange du monde scolaire et yakuza 😍

(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.

There are characters that are getting more interesting, like the Principal, and the other female teacher at school, meaning they are not what everybody think they are.
I am starting to like more Shin. He is the pretty, tough, serious and cool student who is interested in Yankumi. Usually I am not a fan of student/teacher romantic relationship, especially if the girl is older than the guy. But Shin is mature, and means well, and the chemistry between him and Yankumi is great.
His friend Kuma, who looks like a total gangster but is actually a nice big boy, almost found also out that Yankumi comes from a Yakuza. That scene was very funny, when the gangster were trying to disguise this fact; only that Shin did not believe any of their acts.
I liked the scene where Kyou, Yankumi's 'big brother', teaches her how to fight, for sentimental reasons.

Chapter 22 contains my favourite scene in the entire manga, where Kyou fake-beats-up Yankumi to hide the fact that she's yakuza from Shin and Kuma, and everybody is howling with tears rolling down their faces. Amazing!!!

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.
