GOKUSEN is a popular manga series that started running from 2000 to 2007. In 2002, it was adapted into a TV series with great success and a 2nd season followed in 2005. In 2008, the series returned for its 3rd and final season and was the best-rated TV series for the year. This film will conclude the popular series.

Kumiko Yamaguchi, aka Yankumi, oversees the new students of Class 3D of Akado High School. Her class is full of delinquents, but she tries her hardest to teach them not just about academics (her subject is Mathematics), but about lessons of life. However, shes also the granddaughter of a Yakuza boss, Kuroda of the Kuroda Ikka, and is seen as the next in line to head the family business.

Her true passion lies in teaching however, and she's forced to lead a double life and keep her family a secret from the public. However, her Yakuza upbringing also happens to give her the strength and the experience to reach out to her students, and at the same time provides many moments of comedic relief.

It has a similar concept with the series but with MORE drama and there is something that’ll EXCITE the viewers that makes the movie apart from the TV Seriese I’ve seen; Gokusen keeps me motivated & inspired whenever I feel so down at work. Fight-Oh!!

Give a rating of 4.5/5. This movie is touching and funny at times. Quite dramatic when comes to fighting and some part of the movie. Overall this movie is worth the money to watch. The duration of the movie may be long but the story is not draggy.

Must watch. It’s very funny :) I really enjoyed myself although I didn’t really know what was ’GOKUSEN’ at first.

It’s funny and moving. Although the formula is the same as the drama series and looks a little similar at certain junctures of the movie, it’s still a good watch for that good laugh. It brings a pretty good conclusion to series.

This movie has laughter and tears. Although some parts are exaggerated, it’s still worth a watch. Teachers like Yamaguchi sensei are so rare that they may well be extinct. If you happen to have a teacher like that, omedeto, you are sooo lucky. =)
