GTO: 14 Days in Shonan

GTO: 14 Days in Shonan is set immediately after Great Teacher Onizukas Teshigawara story arc. Following getting shot by former teacher Teshigawara, Eikichi Onizuka is hospitalized but soon escapes, disappearing for fourteen days. During this period, a wanted poster surfaces showing a man resembling Onizuka, which raises questions about his actions while he was missing. The story is framed around uncovering what occurred during those two weeks away from Holy Forest Academy. Seeking to lie low after damaging his school's reputation, Onizuka returns to his hometown of Shonan, a coastal area known for its surf culture. There, he becomes involved with a group of troubled foster children facing neglect and abuse. Onizuka applies his unconventional methods to address their personal struggles. Over the course of fourteen days, he confronts local conflicts and systemic problems affecting the children, ultimately revealing how his actions during this period led to both the wanted notice and his return to Tokyo. ==Publication==
