Bad Company is what all school life mangas are aspiring to be, but aren't. I mean, most of current school life mangas and anime are usually harems with loser main characters and little girls running aroind with their overly mature titties jiggling and squishing some lucky dude's face. Bad Company is another one of Fujisawa Tohru's epics revolving around the one and only Eikichi Onizuka (if you have'nt heard that name, you must be too into shoujo mangas my friend) during his high school days. It was an amazing and entertaining blend of drama, ction, comedy and has that macho manly vibe to it. Its oneof the best school life mangas out there. Very good and worth your time. The storyline is good because it has one key element in it : realisticness. Its more down to earth and you can actually relate it to the real world. Plus, it has a simple and interesting plot and is well thought out and creative. The artwork is pretty much ok and it has Fujisawa Tohru's signature look to it. It makes the manga all the more realistic and it compliments each and every scene. It does have a few bugs here and there but it does not deter the quality of the manga. Each character has his/her own personal trait that makes the distinguishable from the next. They are well thought out and have interesting personalities and physical appearance. They add more life to the manga making it all the more fun to read. The enjoyment factor is ever the more present and the comedy factor is alright but a little cheesy at certain parts. The gore count is at a medium but the sexual explicity count is at a medium as peverted characters are aplenty (and so are peverted readers...). In short, Bad Company is another masterpeice and it is a fun read. I reccomend it to shounen readers who wants a little bit more excitement or if you the feel of what a 90's school life manga was like. It is advisable you read Bad Company first then GTO. 9/10.
Before Eikichi Onizuka became a legend, before Onibaku, before he became GTO, he was just a normal junior high school delinquent. Getting into fights with his seniors, trying to pick up girls and just hanging out with his friends. Bad Company is a compilation of many short stories, linked together with the characters of Eikichi, Ryuji and their school buds. Such stories involve the origins of Eikichi`s bike, which we see frequently in GTO, the first meeting with the Midnight Angel and many other.
A short manga on how Onizuka and Danma got to know each other. It has some cozy vibes of past childhood days with friends, but that pretty much it. Is has some fighting but fewer jokes than SJG. Seeing younger and more innocent Onizuka and Danma is pretty enjoyable too. It also feel like a lot of stuff could be covered in Bad Company since if feels like a big gap between in and SJG. But that's ok, it's a story for another time but it leaves you wanting more. So check it out if you want some more backstory otherwise you can probably skipit. Don't expect much, it's only one volume.
