The return of Gokusen, more Shinkumi

This year’s 13th issue of Shueisha’s You magazine has announced on Monday that Kozueko Morimoto’s Gokusen high school comedy manga will return in the next two issues, which will ship on July 1 and 15. 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

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!

  1. Hi, can you send me a link to where I might see what the cover of the manga looks like, the one that includes the 2 part side story? Thanks!

    1. Hi Isabela. The special was published via the Japanese YOU magazine, it’s cover can be found here. If you are looking for the scanslations, Bishounen Project has released 2 of the 3 parts. Hope this helps.
