Shimazaki Sanpo loves mountains. He loves them so much he calls himself a mountain-man and lives in the alpines, lending his hand as a volunteer in a rescue team, finding people, dead or alive, in the Japanese alpines. The alpines can be a beautiful place, but it's also a dangerous, dangerous place.

Winner of the Inaugural Manga Taishou Award

Chapter 4 was stupendous, incredibly intense and heart felt. Gaku is quickly becoming one of my favorite current series.

how different is this from Kokou no Hito?

Aside the "mountain" theme, everything is different.
Which not necessarily means that is bad. For now, it has been a great series.

I mean, is it comedy? or drama?or slice of life, or whatever. :/

They do not have very much in common. Gaku is about mountain rescue, rather than the sport of mountain climbing. Rather than being about conquering the mountain, Gaku is about saving people who the mountain defeated.

It's definitely not slice of life, the story follows a mountain rescue team as they respond to emergencies. There is a lot of humor to the story but chapters can get quite grim, at times.
