Shonan Junai Gumi talks about Onizuka and his partner Ryuuji, posing as nerds to get girls after transferring to a new high school.

Bad Company tells how Eikichi met Ryuji, and despite taking place before Shonan Junai Gumi (which in turn took place before GTO), it was written afterwards, as a prequel.
