Anime, Manga And Drama Differences

The Academy where Onizuka works in, is called Seirin (Holy Forest) in the anime, while in the manga it is called Kisshō. Endings are different but all have happy endings. In the anime Fuyutsuki never knows about her attempted rape but in the 1999 drama she does, Onizuka foils both attempts which were both by Suguru Teshigawara. In the 2012 drama the Director has black rather than gray hair. In the 2012 drama some yakuza attempt to rape Miyabi Aizawa in episode 1 but in the 1999 drama this doesn't happen until much later. Onizuka foils both attempts. In the 2012 drama Kunio Murai is seen photoshopping Onizuka's face but in the anime it was Yoshito Kikuchi who did it.

Trivia

The Seirin Academy actually does exist for real and is placed in Kichijōji, a neighborhood in the city of Musashino in Tokyo, Japan.

Do you know why the sunflower is called a sunflower? It's because it always blooms toward the sun. When the sun goes east, it faces to the east; and when it is in the west, it faces to the west. It's a flower that looks for the sun and blooms. It blooms as a smiling yellow flower every day. So if you're having a bad day, you can come here and talk to the sunflowers every day. Then, you'll be fine. — Hiroshi Uchiyamada
