♥♥♥♥ Plan on watching it all in one go!
I had my doubts before buying it. The basis of the story sounded interesting - tough Yakuza heiress going incognito into an all-boy (mostly delinquents) school to teach - but the line "saving her students before her Yakuza brethren kill them off" left me unsure (I pictured stupid stubborn mafia guys bullishly charging forward...)

There was no reason to be doubtful. The series' great, the story's great, the characterizations are great. It's a riot to see Kumiko, yakuza sister' that she is, try to hide her tough side while in her teacher persona... she's not very successful at it, much to our enjoyment! She's surrounded by a whole crew of characters, the most noticeable being Shin, the gang leader in her class, a high-scoring student who hit a teacher in his previous school and thus found himself in this disreputable one. It doesn't take long for Shin to notice Kumiko's discrepancies, and to become VERY interested in her...

All in all, a package that works. At least, it worked on my sister and I; we were supposed to watch only a few episodes but we ended up going through the whole box in one sitting!

My only problem the series - besides the talking dog - is that it's too short. But good news for those who want more (can't get enough of Shin!!): the manga (mangaka: Kozueko Morimoto) numbers 15 volumes... it's not licensed (yet?)... (^.^) Anyway, it's even better than the anime!!

Extra info: besides developing into an anime series, in Japan GokuSen was also made into a TV drama; if a manga is great enough to spark not only an anime but also a drama, it means there is something to it, right? So you can't really go wrong (especially at this price!) :D
