tl;dr: A manga that is pretty generic yet still has some greatly amusing aspects, but has major issues that prevent it from being all that enjoyable. This manga is bizarre. It could have been a semi-decent, albeit generic, harem rom-com. The core premise of a teacher trying to stay true to his love for another teacher while helping other students who fall in love with him so he has to fend off their advances is decent. But the implementation is horrible. The first major issue is all of the things he has to help them with stem from other teachers essentially molesting them and that's supposed tobe funny. If he manages to stop them before they went too far and then afterwards they went to jail that could be reasonably amusing. But rather the teachers manage to get away with quite a lot before they get stopped , far too much for me to think of it as funny at the least. And upon getting stopped, they don't go to jail. They don't even get fired. They just continue doing what they're doing in a different way. And later they're even portrayed as good people. I just found all of this too gross for what is supposed to be a comedic manga. The other issue is that the protagonist is pretty useless, and doesn't even really do much in the various situations where he's supposedly the one that stops the villains and saves the girls, so it all really feels kind of lame. Because of those two issues, even though there are a good amount of comedic and fluff filled portions that just have the protagonist interacting with the heroines that were amusing and enjoyable, overall the manga was one that simply wasn't that fun. The ending is also the standard indecisive ending, but that's pretty much standard for manga like this so I didn't really find it disappointing. The art was quite good though, so I suppose there was some value in reading it for that alone.
Gakuen Heaven is the story of Oshino Makoto in his attempt to become a teacher, in order to fulfill a promise made to his childhood friend and first love Koiwai Ayano, who also promised that when they see each other again they will get married. However he fails and ends up being a substitute teacher in an all-girls private school ruled by his grandmother. He meets there a lot of female students; especially Narusawa Tsugumi, as well as Asagiri Ayano, a teacher who resembles his long lost first love. He also becomes the love interest of the substitute principal, his cousin Kyouko. (Source: ANN)
This will be a spoiler free review after having read the entire manga. Story - If you have read Love Hina you'll find the story of Gakuen Tengoku familiar. The problem is that the story here never really advance and in fact the manga seems unfinished. There are a lot of stupid situations that make you ask "what's the problem with those people" and "does police exist in this manga?". Nothing really exciting happens and there are a lot of things that are not developed whatsoever. An example would be the principal who is the cousin of the MC and she likes him, but this part ofthe story is there just for basically 3 things to happen over the course of the manga. The end is also very baaaaaaad. The manga at least has a light atmosphere so that's a plus in my eyes. The main character - This MC is the most useless character of all time. Seriously, he is so pathetic that it makes you angry with him. He is weak, dense, clueless, naive...the only thing he has going for him is the luck he gets for being the MC. For the most part of the manga, he is never the one making things happen. He tries to resolve things, but most of time his ideas are dumb and often things get resolve without him doing much. Overall - This manga could have been good, but without plot and with such stupid characters (most of the teachers and he MC) it makes it hard to call it good. The only thing i likde about this manga is the art which is good and the girls are all very cute. I would not recommend this manga to anyone simply because there are much better options out there ready to be read and since time is something finite i advise you to go look for something better.
