Ultimate Otaku Teacher


Ultimate Otaku Teacher, subtitled He Is a Ultimate Teacher, is a 2011 Japanese manga series, written and illustrated by Takeshi Azuma. Two short anime clips, serving as promotion for the manga have been released, and an anime television series was produced, all of them by A-1 Pictures.

Plot

The story follows Junichiro Kagami, whose sister Suzune is angry at him because of his complete disinterest in the real world. As Junichiro is interested in nothing but anime, manga and games, Suzune forces him to go on a job as a physics teacher substitute at the same high school from which he graduated. Junichiro proves himself a capable and hardworking teacher who comes with unorthodox methods based on the seemingly useless knowledge he obtained as an otaku to teach and motivate his students.
