“Gintama 3rd Year Z Group Ginpachi Sensei” work information
Sakata Ginpachi is a high school teacher whose trademarks include his sloppy white uniform, naturally curly silver hair, and eyes that resemble those of a dead fish. His homeroom class, “Gintama High School, Year 3 Z,” is comprised of a group of students with strong personalities, including idol otakus, heroines, stalkers, mayonnaise lovers, sadists, and delinquents (among others), and they’re constantly plagued by trouble.
The chaotic daily life doesn’t leave Ginpachi scratching his head; instead, he sometimes plays dumb and sometimes doesn’t solve the problems. And the students, all with their own unique personalities, don’t eventually come together through their various experiences; instead, they run wild and act as they please. Heyyyy! 3Z, you’re too free!? They often appear unmotivated, and it’s hard to gauge their thoughts, but when it matters, they’re decisive.
This is a school life comedy about this unconventional teacher and the 3Z students, filled with laughter, tears, and anything goes! Whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert, this is the Gintama-style youth for you!
