Both are dramas with female leads which are cute, fragile ladies with glasses on a noble government position which are trying to straighten up a social outcast by trying to solve some of their problems. The main difference is that in Gokusen the heroine uses martial arts to scare of the people, which are trying to hurt the people she is trying to protect... In Zenkamono the heroine is left alone with the system.

They are similar by:
-one female help a lot in the boys' lives
- similar feel: lots of comedy with a lot of heart.
- she goes through lengths to help the boys she comes to care for.
-There is hinted of romance, but there isn't much (veeeeeeerrrrrry small).
-the female leads do learn from the boys just as much as she helps them.
Difference:
-The female in Gokusen is a teacher while in AND, she is the boys' step-mom.
- The female lead in AND was hesitant at first before accepting them while in Gokusen, she was accepting from the start.

Although these dramas have two VERY different story lines, the main female protagonist in Make a Woman Cry (Deok In) gives off a similar vibe as Yankumi in the Gokusen series. Deok In does her best to protect the young male students from bullies, and goes to far lengths to ensure their safety, even giving them life lessons during the way (plus, she's quite a talented martial artists like Yankumi). Although Yankumi is a teacher and Deok In is in the restaurant business, I felt like the slice of life/serious feel is definitely apparent in these two as they protect those around then, especially in/near a school setting.
Both of these dramas star young Johnny's idols. The dramas' leads are Arashi Members: Ninomiya Kazunari for Stand Up!! and Matsumoto Jun for Gokusen. Also, Oguri Shun and Narimiya Hiroki are in both supporting casts. They both center around high school life and troubled youth. It's really fun to see these actors' early works.
There's no angry mom in Gokusen but there is some organized crime involved but more like Han Gong Ju-style, there is a righteous teacher, a stupid vice principal and unruly students, but also some rather preachy dialogues/monologues. Regardless, both are a fun watch with darker themes (Angry Mom is upfront with it, if not a bit gory at times while Gokusen is more careful, mostly if you care to think hard and long enough since Gokusen's premise relies more on comedy) as the students mature and grow through their actions.
