Zusatztext “As a character explicitly points out! it’s painfully evident that parental selfishness has given [these teens] severe reason to distrust adults and that they’re not about to give Onizuka a second chance if he lets them down. As a result! the manga is dealing with the same Onizuka! but watching him walk a much narrower tight rope… It’s intriguing to consider how the manga might react to the new twist in its careful balance act and how 14 Days might consequently develop in subtly different ways than the original.” — Ain’t it Cool News “I have never read a GTO comic before this! so the prospect of reading what amounts to a spin-off was a bit intimidating. Luckily the premise is pretty simple… I liken this book to Columbo . Anyone who has ever watched a Columbo episode knows that Columbo is going to solve the case. The real pleasure comes from seeing how the bumbling detective puts it all together… The figures are strong and confident! and the backgrounds are stunning.” — Stumptown Trade Review Informationen zum Autor Born in 1967, Tohru Fujisawa is a veteran Japanese comic artist and multimillion unit seller.
