If anyone knows on where to watch the spin-off Gura Gura Maison Tokyo, please reply my comment below, thank you. It's the spin-off where Tamamori Yuta is the main lead.
Sorry 2012, I can't even finish the 1st episode and totally dropped it. On the other hand, I'll give the 1998 version 11/10 every single time. What more do we expect from Takashi Sorimachi and his wife Matsushima Nanako, Shun Oguri and Naohito Fujiki. There I said it!
The numbers don't lie: his dramas are all hits! Thanks for reading!
Yes!! Been following all his works since early 2000s. Encountered him in Beautiful Life and never turned back. Anyway, I'm a GTO's fan, too! (Takeuchi Sorimachi's version of course, not the recent one, that one was weird, I couldn't finish even one episode). In the old version, I love watching Shun Oguri before he hit puberty, haha!
Now we have two fansubber subbing this.

This version has Japanese & Chinese subtitles. You'll have to wait for the fansubber-san to finish subbing if you want the English version.
