Akira Kuroiwa, a third year middle school student, falls in love with his new homeroom teacher, Hijiri Suenaga.

Television drama

[edit]

A live-action television series adaptation was announced in July 2018 and slated for release in October 2018.[2] The series is directed by Ayuko Tsukahara, Kentarō Takemura, and Toshio Tsuboi, with Arisa Kaneko writing the script. The series stars Kasumi Arimura as Hijiri, Kenshi Okada as Akira (in his debut acting role), and Keita Machida as Shōtarō. Additional cast members include Yui Natsukawa as Aiko (Akira's mother), Yo Yoshida as Ritsu, and Mari Natsuki as Shiotani. Two original characters were also created for the television series and included Makita Sports as Shigeru and Tomochika as Chizuru. The television series aired weekly on TBS at 10 PM.[11]

The first episode of the live-action series gained at 6.0% viewership,[12] with many viewers expressing discomfort at the subject matter of the series. Despite that Akira is 15 years old in the series, the production opted to cast 19-year-old Okada as they could not hire an actor closer to the character's age.[13]
