Born in 1967, Tohru Fujisawa is a veteran Japanese comic artist and multimillion unit seller. Best known globally for his international sensation Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO), Fujisawa was the 22nd Kodansha Comic Award Winner in 1998 for his work on the hit series. The GTO property would go on to inspire two animated TV series and an internationally distributed live action TV series by the same name. Since GTO Fujisawa has gone on to pen thirteen more comic series, with four of those properties landing on American shores. Fujisawa continues to be one of the most beloved manga artists of this generation.
“As a character explicitly points out, it’s painfully evident that
parental selfishness has given [these teens] severe reason to
distrust adults and that they’re not about to give Onizuka a second
chance if he lets them down. As a result, the manga is dealing with
the same Onizuka, but watching him walk a much narrower tight rope…
It’s intriguing to consider how the manga might react to the new
twist in its careful balance act and how 14 Days might consequently
develop in subtly different ways than the original.” —Ain’t it Cool

“I have never read a GTO comic before this, so the prospect of
reading what amounts to a spin-off was a bit intimidating. Luckily
the premise is pretty simple… I liken this book to Columbo. Anyone
who has ever watched a Columbo episode knows that Columbo is going
to solve the case. The real pleasure comes from seeing how the
bumbling detective puts it all together… The figures are strong and
confident, and the backgrounds are stunning.” —Stumptown Trade
