The manga was one of the first to be serialized in Shueisha's manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump, where it ran from 1968 to 1972, with its chapters collected in thirteen tankōbon volumes. A modern-day version of the manga, Heisei Harenchi Gakuen, was serialized by Nihon Bungeisha and Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha in Weekly Manga Goraku and Weekly Manga Sunday, respectively, from 1994 to 1995. A sequel to the original series, illustrated by Teruto Aruga and titled Harenchi Gakuen: The Company, was serialized in Shueisha's Business Jump from 2007 to 2008. Harenchi Gakuen was adapted into four live-action films and a twenty-seven-episode Japanese television drama. Heisei Harenchi Gakuen was adapted into a direct to video live-action film and an original video animation (OVA). Harenchi Gakuen became the first big success for Nagai and is widely considered the first modern erotic manga and credited for being the first ecchi manga series.

In 1968, while Shueisha was getting prepared to launch its first manga publication, Weekly Shōnen Jump, in order to compete with other magazines from rival companies (like Weekly Shōnen Magazine from Kodansha and Weekly Shōnen Sunday from Shogakukan), Nagai was invited to be one of the first manga artists publishing in the new magazine. He contemplated this, since he had to design a long-running series instead of the autoconclusive short stories that he had been developing until that point. He accepted, and the series became Nagai's first big success when Shōnen Jump sold more than one million copies. With Harenchi Gakuen, Nagai became the originator of ecchi manga, opened the door for a series of taboo-shattering gag comics, and also became the symbol of an entire generation. This work has influenced the world of manga, effecting both social mores and what was considered appropriate for manga. Harenchi Gakuen started with the idea of making a manga around a school. Nagai liked the word "Harenchi" (scandal), which was used commonly to advertise adult movies. For him, scandal and school were like oil and water, and he thought that mixing them would be funny. At first, Nagai did not have an idea of what stories to develop, but his assistant at the time was boasting about how he had peeped on the girls during their physical examinations from a hole in the roof of his school; this idea was developed into the plot of the manga. Originally, open erotic references did not appear in Harenchi Gakuen. The first physical examination scenes only showed from the shoulders up, but there were a lot of girls drawn, and their images became popular. The editor asked Nagai to go further, which Nagai was eager to do. The inspiration for Harenchi Gakuen came from the West. Nagai liked foreign movies and used to read Playboy magazine and other erotic magazines when he was a child. For the depiction of breasts, he took particular inspiration from the Venus de Milo. According to Nagai, what he in fact drew was not about eroticism per se, but about Japan's culture of shame. He wanted embarrassment to be the eroticism of the stories.

Written and illustrated by Go Nagai, Harenchi Gakuen was serialized in Shueisha's manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from August 1, 1968, to September 25, 1972. Shueisha collected its chapters in thirteen tankōbon volumes, released from November 30, 1969, to December 31, 1974. The series has been republished in various editions; Shueisha released twelve bunkoban volumes from November 30, 1976, to May 31, 1977.
