Morimoto had ended the manga in 2007 after seven years, but she is revisiting the story to mark the July 11 opening of Gokusen the Movie. The movie will serve as the theatrical finale to the three live-action television drama series based on the manga. The upcoming two-part manga side story will center on Kumiko “Yankumi” Yamaguchi — the high school teacher with yakuza ties — and her student Shin Sawada. ~ From ANN

Issue info:
YOU NO.14は7月1日(水)発売

Kyaaa~~~ I cannot tell you how excited and happy I am, Morimoto-sensei! Sawada-kun and Yankumi, such long awaited chapters! Hopefully, their romantic starts to blossom and fill the void from the movie (yes, I’m still a bit disappointed :( ). Just cannot wait for the first chapter to be released, July is definitely going to be one wonderful month! :D

It just wouldn’t be Gokusen without Yankumi’s #1 student. He is the one that I want to return the most!! :cry:

I know Jun-kun is extremely busy now, focusing on his drama and Arashi’s 10th year anniversary. I absolutely love him for that, but Sawada Shin is an extremely important character in the history of Gokusen, he needs to appear. I’m truly hoping that he can make a cameo, even a mere 5 seconds would be wonderful. Maybe they will surprise us, let’s keep our fingers crossed. :)

Trailer:


Love the action and Kame-sensei, will definitely see it, but I still long for Sawada!! :(

I had high hopes when the heading was first read at Tokyograph, excepting they would have Sawada Shin return. :( Nope, really wish that was the case. Season one was awesome with Jun-kun (the reason why I adore him so much :D ). Season two was okay with Kame and Jin, but cannot compared to the first one. I guess there is still hope, maybe a season four with the returned cast. Let’s keep our fingers-crossed. hehe…

Wish I had their special and wonderful talents. I’m happy if I can draw a recognizable stick figure here. Yeah, drawing is not my strong traits.:P The pieces below are quite beautiful and feature both the drama and manga versions of the characters. Enjoy!

Finally had a chance to organize my cluttered bookmark list in Firefox. I was quite surprise to see how many sites had accumulated — references to projects/papers I had researching for graduate school, attention-grabbing articles, etc. Near the bottom of the list was a compilation of interested fanfics, mostly Jdrama/anime related. I’ll share a few of my favorites throughout the week. They’re quite well-written and holds the true dynamics of the characters. Today, I’ll start with Gokusen, the Shin and Kumiko pairing:
