GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) - Ch 4-5:

It's clear that Nanako is going through a rough time. While her family may be rich, her parents are now largely absent and have seemingly drifted apart from each other, causing her to long for their old life.

GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) - Ch 3:

Nanako was indeed putting on a ruse, and predictably Onizuka ended up giving the punks in Class O a taste of rough justice. Still, the charm of a cute high-school girl is too much for him to resist, and he gives in to her again. #gto #greatteacheronizuka #manga

GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) - Ch 2:

In another long chapter, Onizuka begins teacher training, gets asigned the worst class possible and somehow shows restraint by not punching that punk that spat on him. So, in the last 6 years, he has learned some restraint. #gto #greatteacheronizuka #manga

GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) - Ch 1:

As with the previous entries in the series, we begin with a bumper extra-long chapter to set the stage. Onizuka has been trying to move on and better himself, but has ended up feeling stuck. #gto #greatteacheronizuka #manga

NEXT - GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)

We return to the world of Shonan Junai Gumi and it's sequel, this time mostly focusing on Eikichi Onizuka and the chaos that ensues as he enters the world of teaching.

Touch - CLOSING THOUGHTS

This was a good story, and I can clearly understand why it belongs on the Mount Rushmore of romance/slice-of-life manga. One thing that stood out is that it's extremely sincere - it never relies on the 'misunderstanding' trope that powers most in these genres. #manga #touch
December 26, 2025 at 5:50 AM
Touch - Ch 255-257 (FINAL):

We've reached the end, and thankfully, most of the characters seem to get a happy ending. Tatsuya finally confesses his love for Minami in dramatic fashion, but appears to leave baseball behind to focus on his studies now the Koushien adventure is over. #manga #touch
December 26, 2025 at 5:29 AM
Touch - Ch 251-254:

Due to his developing relationship with Sakoto, Tatsuya really doesn't seem to care about Koushien, which is a great shame for the team which has made it so far. Koutarou has a right to be pissed, and it looks like their Koushien berth is ruined. #manga #touch
December 24, 2025 at 12:05 AM
Touch - Ch 247-250:

We're now in the final volume, and we're introduced to the pop idol Sakoto. Tatsuya meets her by pure chance, and the two of them seem to strike up a bond. This is a very interesting turn of events to take place so late in the manga's run. #manga #touch
December 22, 2025 at 11:27 PM
Touch - Ch 243-246:

Nishio is back as the baseball coach for Koushien, but it's clear not everyone is happy about him returning. This is understandable, as it seems this was perhaps his plan all along; to have someone else help get him to Koushien. #manga #touch
December 22, 2025 at 6:27 AM
Touch - Ch 235-242:

So Meisei make it to Koushien in the end, with Tatsuya channeling Kazuya's spirit to make it through those last pitches. Taking on Nitta at the end was a risky move, but it paid off, as the Sumi Tech batter indeed fluffed his lines as predicted. #manga #touch
December 20, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Touch - Ch 231-234:

Have Meisei done enough? Despite the run, Nitta seems adamant that he will get another chance at bat. However, we know that when the pressure is really on, he does choke, as shown by what happened in Sumi Tech's Koushien performances. #manga #touch
December 20, 2025 at 9:46 AM
Touch - Ch 227-230:

The struggle continues, and it's anybody's game. Almost limping across the line but failing, Nitta's wisdom has seemingly restored Sumi Tech's resolve. With Meisei, Tatsuya has figured out that Kashiwaba can't see, who now finally appears to be behind his team. #manga #touch
December 19, 2025 at 12:16 AM
Touch - Ch 221-226:

The match is on a knife edge, with Tatsuya's pitching, Sasaki's tactical plan and the team's resolve managing to keep them in the game. It looks like it's all going to come down to the ultimate showdown between Tatsuya and Nitta. #manga #touch
December 15, 2025 at 6:43 AM
Touch - Ch 217-220:

Surprisingly, it's not Nitta causing the most trouble for Meisei, but Ookuba. Meisei will have to get the better of him if they wish to win. Tatsuya is seeming to struggle under the pressure of the situation, but Kashiwaba may have successfully fired him back up. #manga #touch
December 13, 2025 at 8:53 PM
Touch - Ch 212-216:

And so, the final match is underway. Meisei may have managed a run, but it looks as though Sumi have levelled the score immediately. This match is probably going to go the distance. #manga #touch
December 12, 2025 at 10:56 PM
Touch - Ch 207-211:

It sure is weird that Kashiwaba is being so secretive all of a sudden. Nitta also effectively 'declares' for Minami at this point, but we know already how strong her feelings are for Tatsuya. #manga #touch
December 12, 2025 at 1:35 AM
Touch - Ch 204-206:

I'm happy Nishio decided to resign permanently as the coach, as it would have been unfair to Kashiwaba even though he may have bad intentions. Even though he knows his successor is the wrong brother, he still gives him his blessing to continue with the team. #manga #touch
December 10, 2025 at 11:36 PM
Touch - Ch 198-203:

Well, Meisei seem to be winning the semi-final easily and look to be well on their way to face Sumi Tech. Kashiwaba must have figured it would be easy, seeing as he gave Tatsuya another one of his challenges. #manga #touch
December 9, 2025 at 10:48 PM
Touch - Ch 194-197:

Once the three pitchers rotated again, Seinan were able to win easily and proceed to the next round. Kashiwaba still appears to hold nefarious ambitions, even though Meisei are performing incredibly well. At what point will he show his hand? #manga #touch
December 8, 2025 at 11:26 PM
Touch - Ch 189-193:

With the final rounds of the qualifiers ahead and the last chance for Meisei to reach Koushien, Tatsuya has understandably become nervous and unsettled. The pressure is well and truly on; can he fulfil his brother's dream?
December 8, 2025 at 2:13 AM
Touch - Ch 184-188:

It really was a delight to see Yoshida get destroyed and crumble emotionally, embarrassing himself in the process. Hopefully, the young man learnt a valuable lesson, and will become a better person. Thinking he could take down all of Meisei on his own was foolish. #manga #touch
December 7, 2025 at 1:00 AM
Touch - Ch 179-183:

I had a feeling that Yoshida would eventually return as an opponent, and I was proved right! With the brutal training regimen that they have managed to endure, I'm still confident that Tatsuya and Meisei will be able to come out on top. #manga #touch
December 5, 2025 at 11:08 PM
Touch - Ch 173-178:

Koutarou was able to make it through with his injury, and hopefully, it isn't a problem for the rest of the qualifiers. The two Kashiwaba brothers really don't seem to get on, so it will be interesting to see what happens when they come face to face. #manga #touch
December 4, 2025 at 11:27 PM
Touch - Ch 169-172:

Kashiwaba made a crazy gambit by making an easy game incredibly hard, but I see some reason behind his thinking. The Yuka situation finally seems to be getting to Minami, but change may be afoot with the good Kashiwaba brother finally on the scene. #manga #touch
