Review

In my opinion, this is the best series of Gokusen sequel. Not only because my favorite actor; Teppei in it but the whole story in the Gokusen 2 are more interesting. If compared with the Gokusen (Season 1), in Gokusen 2 Yankumi faces a more delinquent school boys but actually they has a pure and kind heart inside and each cast has their own personality and different with each others. The best part of this Drama is when the boys promises to Yankumi that they will not fight until their graduation and how they managed to keep their promises.
