Shonan Junai Gumi!

Aired: 1994 - 1997

An OVA adaptation of Toru Fujisawa's delinquent manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine, released across five volumes. The first volume was produced by Lifework, with J.C.STAFF handling volumes two onward. The series depicts the high-school days of Eikichi Onizuka and his partner-in-crime Ryuji Danma, the duo whose later adventures became the hit GTO. Set against a Shonan backdrop, it weaves brawls, romance, friendship, and clumsy tenderness into a youth delinquent drama that preserves the manga's hard-edged style while adding bold OVA-exclusive staging and energy.
