Gintama-style youth starts here.
Set in Class 3-Z of Gintama High School, this is a slapstick school comedy featuring Ginpachi Sakata—a lazy Japanese language teacher who wears a lab coat, constantly reads Jump, and eats nothing but sweets—and his class of intense, eccentric students. The story is characterized by going off the rails even more than the main series, filled with meta-commentary and parodies. "Gintama High School" The setting of this work.
