Summary

Eikichi Onizuka is 22-years-old and used to be in a bike gang. Even though he is lazy and greedy, he has a dream. He wants to be the best teacher in Japan. He gets a job teaching at Holy Forest Academy. The students there are very mean and they make new teachers quit.

Onizuka is different. He helps the students with their problems. He helps when they are being bullied, when they are thinking about suicide, and when they are being treated badly. He shows them how fun school can be with his unusual methods. He even jumps off a building to save a student who was trying to commit suicide. Thanks to his eccentric charm and fun-loving nature, Class 3-4 slowly learns just how enjoyable school can be when you're the pupils of the Great Teacher Onizuka.
