The Gokusen (ごくせん)

Gokusen

How long has it been since that day when we first met?

So many good times and bad times have come and gone since then.

I know you can't make sense of what I'm trying to say.

But my true feelings for you can never be put into words.

Will you ever know how I feel? Will you know what's going on inside me?

If only we could live in a world where you only have to be yourself and smile.

Or is it always going to be like this? Will we be able to go on like this?

Even if you're far away, I want to feel you in my heart, close to me.

Shirokin High School

Un-frickin' believable...

This gives my morale...

...a real boost!

ROOKIE TEACHER WITH A SECRET IS BORN!

Well, well! What a treat!

What a sight for sore eyes you women teachers are!

Really, you're prodigious!

So, I understand you've hired these two to teach?

Is that correct?

Correct.

Ms. Fujiyama will teach music, and Ms. Yamaguchi will teach math.

What in the world are you thinking? Female teachers at this school?

That's like throwing pigs into the lion's den!

Pigs... Really, you have no idea what goes on here!

Really, you have no idea what goes on here!

Yo, yo, I hear the new teacher's the bomb!

Whaddya mean?

What did they do, bring over Hulk Hogan or something?

Wrong!

This one's got these...

...and these!

Jesus! It's a woman?

We owe you one, Baldie!

Gotta make sure she feels welcome, right?

Now, now, our students are still just youngsters!

I'm sure deep down inside, they're crying out for love.

Now, with a woman teacher's all-enveloping love...

You're naive! Naive! Naive!

That's exactly what gives them their swagger!

Let this be your warning, ladies...

If you should underestimate our students, you will not live to tell the tale!

Ms. Fujiyama!

Yes?

You're dressed too provocatively!

The students will treat you no better than a stripper!

As for you, Ms. Yamaguchi...

Y-Yes?

Those slippers! Just try fleeing from the students at top speed with those on!

Flee?

If you want to survive, you must wear track suits and sneakers.

That's de rigueur!

And always move in groups of two or more!

Better yet, a squadron of seven or eight!

All right, then. I wish you all godspeed!

Whoa...

Okay, Ms. Yamaguchi, let's try to stay alive!

Okay!

That's right, I'm a teacher now. I guess I should go in there with guns blazing.

Okay!

Who the hell are you?

Whaddya mean? I'm your homeroom teacher.

Huh?

Hell Minami, I thought you said she had boobs and an ass!

And a mini-skirt, remember?

What the hell?

Oh, you're talking about Ms. Fujiyama from Class 2.

But guess what, she changed into a track suit, too.

What are you talking about?

Don't jerk us around, bitch!

Shirokin Striptease

Well, look at that! So the vice-principal did have them all figured out!

Oh man, this one's a total dweeb, I bet!

Bet she keeps track of her spending money, too.

How come we're stuck with her for our homeroom teacher?

Anyway...

Oh, my gosh! You scared me!

What a dork!

For chrissake! Is she a total moron or what?

Can't you tell by looking at her?

Kuma, you need to chill.

Huh?

Shin!

You never show up this early in the day!

Hmmm, that's not your normal pecking order...

Looks like she's our homeroom teacher.

Homeroom teacher?

That's right!

All right then, now that we're all here...

Let me introduce myself! I'm your homeroom teacher, Kumiko Yamaguchi!

Nobody's listening...

I hear Class 2's teacher's totally stacked.

But we're getting stuck with this four-eyed ape?

I want to get to know you all as soon as possible, so...

...please write down your name on this sheet, plus anything else you'd like to share.

Such as something you're really into right now, or your dreams for the future...

Oh, and you can also talk about your girlfriends!

For chrissake...

Are you shitting us or what?

What have you been smoking, bitch?

Calm down, now.

If you really don't want to write anything, you can just put down your name.

I'm going to write about myself on blackboard, okay?

Let's see...

Kumiko Yamaguchi. 23 years old. Single!

My hobbies are...

Get her on the ass.

Nice shot!

Hey man, you're not hurling that...

Hey! What is this?

Isn't this a pachinko ball?

That's dangerous! Who threw this?

She really is a dork.

So now she's scared?

She's just lucky she snagged it.

For a second there she had me floored, though.

But the timing was perfect, don'tcha think so, Shin?

Well, we survived our first day...

You seem like a total straight-arrow, Ms. Yamaguchi...

Tell me, how bad was it?

Oh, well, I think it went okay.

How was Class 2?

Hmm, three of them...

No, wait, make that two.

Two what?

Students I wouldn't mind sleeping with!

Well, you know, I've been teaching junior high kids till now.

High school boys are a lot bigger, see...

Oh, hey! That didn't come out right!

Ms. Yamaguchi, Ms. Fujiyama!

You mustn't engage in idle chatter after classes. I order you to withdraw at once!

Withdraw?

This is the most dangerous time of day, ladies!

Fuji!

Hey, boy, did you come to pick me up from school?

Hey, is this your dog?

Yes.

Wow, you must live in a huge house to be able to keep a dog like this.

Well...

Ms. Fujiyama!

Your ass is so sexy!

It's the bomb!

Oh, jeez...

That woman...

That new homeroom teacher...

Kumiko Yamaguchi?

What about her?

She's not half as dumb as she makes out to be.

Whaddya mean, as she makes out to be?

I'm not sure, but that's what my gut tells me.

She's probably twice as dumb as she looks, that's all!

Didn't you see how scared shitless Kuma made her?

You got it!

Fuji, come on, we're going home.

Scared, huh?

You're living in a dream world, kids.

You have no idea...

Ooedo Clan

Ojou!

I'm home.

Ojou, welcome home.

Now then, you must tell your parents about your first day of work.

Okay!

Father, Mother...

I became a teacher today, just like I've always wanted.

Please, watch over me.

So, Ojou, how was your first day operating as a teacher?

Not one of them called me "teacher," it was "bitch" this "bitch" that...

What?

"Are you a moron, bitch?" You know, like that.

What the hell?

How dare they speak to our Ojou like that!

Ojou, think I should pay them a visit?

Just say the word and I'll go...

Tetsu...

Fuhgeddaboutit!

We're talking about ordinary piss-ant schoolboys...

Exactly! So there's no need for you to...

Goddammit, I'm going!

If anything should happen to our Ojou, how could I live with myself?

Wakamatsu, you're in charge if I don't return!

Number Two, I'm going with you!

You moron! I'm supposed to die first, that's the way it works!

If you guys go down with me, who's going to protect Ojou?

Number Two!

Idiots!

If you guys go out there you'll blow my cover.

Are you trying to get my ass fired?

Then I'll have no choice but to go down there as one who's washed his feet...

Enough.

Kumicho!

You are not to act rashly for Kumiko's sake.

Yes, Boss!

Grandfather, you should be in bed.

Kumiko, forgive me.
