Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!? is a 2019 anime adaptation of Soborou’s 2016 manga, brought to life by Tear Studio. Running from April to June, the series later released an uncensored special episode in December. This anime perfectly balances erotic humor with kawaii elements thanks to its charming female characters, offering a lighthearted, non-serious plot designed purely for entertainment.
What’s the Story?
The narrative revolves around four couples, three of which involve teachers and students, with the fourth featuring the school nurse and her student. Split across 12 episodes, each couple’s story is developed over three chapters, blending romance with embarrassing, risqué situations. Despite the provocative premise, each couple’s love story is played out innocently, with relationships becoming public only after graduation.
The series kicks off with Sato and Kojima’s story. Kojima, a stern and no-nonsense teacher, contrasts with Sato, a shy, well-mannered student who repeatedly finds himself in compromising (and often accidental) situations with her. Despite her strictness, Kojima is undeniably attractive, leading to an inevitable romance as both characters grow closer.
The Characters
Sato and Kojima’s dynamic sets the stage for the following couples. Each pair follows a similar structure, with the main difference being the teachers’ personalities. For instance, Matsukaze is sweet and caring, while Kazakura, the PE teacher, is lively and carefree. Nurse Tachibana is distant and cold, but love gradually softens her demeanor. Though the female characters are distinct and captivating, the male students are much less developed, mostly sharing shy and awkward traits with slight physical differences.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a light, funny series that doesn’t demand much thought, Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!? delivers exactly that. While its superficial storyline won’t challenge viewers, the animation, characters, and witty dialogue make it an enjoyable watch. Though it’s not family-friendly, it’s a playful ecchi comedy that’ll keep you entertained without the need for a deep emotional investment. This show may not be a masterpiece, but it’s certainly a fun diversion.
