Hello! I'm looking for mangas about teachers that change "bad students", similar to 1-nen A-gumi no Monster, Gokusen, latter half of Shibatora. Doesn't even have to be the teacher reforming the class, could be like a transfer student winning over them over or something. Focus should not be on a romantic relationship.

I'm also looking for a specific manga that falls under this category, I've looked through similar threads but can't seem to find any. I think there was a scene where the super scary "yakuza" kid (they thought so because his last name was yakuza's, it might be Riki) was actually an otaku and got exposed (but his uncle actually is running the yakuza). But that might be a scene from another manga.

Thanks!

A delinquent gets reformed at some point in Sakamoto Desu ga?

Try givin Great Teacher Onizuka a shot

Sakamoto Desu ga? is right, but it's a student (not really a transfer student, more like a weird student, lol) who's doing the changing. Both at the beginning (very easily) and at the end with the delinquent boss (which was a pretty dangerous endeavour, all told, because he was a real jerk). However, it's not the focus of the story as a whole: only in those specific chapters/episodes.

Dragon Zakura and its sequel would also fit, but it's hyper-focused on the education aspect, rather than behaviour or morals. The sequel is licensed, even though the original story's neither licensed nor completely scanlated, probably cos it can stand alone.

Possibly Evil Heart, if you're okay with a sports trainer instead.

Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine maybe, but they aren't delinquents: just stubborn and spoiled.

Yomawari Sensei is pretty complex, so there's no concrete reformation involved, but it's a good series for teacher-troubled student relationships.

Denpa Kyoushi Is like that, but most of the girl characters end up falling for him.

Hammer Session! and it’s sequel also fits that bill. I’ve recently read it and I really liked it! It has romance in it since it is an ecchi harem(pretty sure) but it’s not that big a deal. The ending for the first one was pretty good too anyways!

Kamen Teacher (FUJISAWA Tohru).

Angel Densetsu: Transfer student becomes new boss of his school (unknowingly) and rallies delinquents around him. He's actually a regular guy though so they slowly "reform". Highly recommended.

Someone mentioned Rookies, which fits very well. If you like reform through sports Slam Dunk has quite a bit of that: the protagonist is a delinquent and his rival isn't far off. Two later members also fit, and there's a big arc about the trouble they bring to the team.

Hajime No Ippo has several former delinquents who turned to boxing, and their backstories were really cool, but they are shown kinda late in the story.

There is a new one called "Study Group"; i couldn´t find anything on Baka-Updates yet, but it´s there 😉
