American Outlaws The Oni-Baku have dealt with misfits and ruffians all over the greater Tokyo area all throughout their high school years, but now a new world threat has settled along the shores of Shonan. A bizarre mix of American midshipmen have turned this surfers’ paradise into a war-zone! PRAISE FOR THE WORK: “If you love tales of delinquents who will fight with all their youth for what they believe in, tales of love and missed chances or just the occasional comedy of the absurd then GTO: The Early Years is a title you are looking for as it is bursting with tales of those living their youth to its utmost. Recommended—A Grade.” —Fandom Post “I had fallen way behind in my [GTO: The Early Years] reading, but was able to pick up where I left off with minimal confusion… There’s also some terrific comedy here—the author likes to break up all the gang fights with one-shot chapters that are hilariously silly.” —A Case Suitable for Treatment “While this part of the story is a bit cruder than later parts of Onizuka’s story it also has its own energy… I feel the humor is a bit ruder, the action a bit wilder, and the stakes a bit higher… This is the raw and uncut Onizuka.” —Reverse Thieves
