Fujisawa, Toru. Great Teacher Onizuka: 14 Days in Shonan, vol. 1. 2012. 200p. ISBN 9781932234886. Available in the graphic novels section of the library.
By stating on live television that he almost buried a student alive, Eikichi Onizuka must escape his current teaching position at Tokyo Kissho Academy and lay low for a while, until things calm down and he can return to work. When no friends come through, he decides to return to his hometown, the city of Shonan. On the train station he witnesses a young girl shoplifting, but when he gets involved he gets arrested, supposedly for groping her.
The girl, Katsuragi, is the daughter of the prefect of police and has a direct line to his office that sends squad cars to her rescue at any moment. Fortunately, Ayame Shiratori witnessed the incident and is able to clear Onizuka’s name. Shiratori works at the White Swan Children’s Home, a house for troubled teens where Katsuragi resides. With no prospects and an invitation to work, Onizuka heartily agrees to join the team and help the troubled residents of White Swan.
Using unorthodox teaching methods, Onizuka begins reaching the inhabitants, but Katsuragi lurks in the shadows and she is displeased that he is here. How miserable can she make his life?
