A genius who chose anime over the world gets dragged kicking into teaching, and the show never stops finding new angles on how much that sucks. The comedy lands because Junichiro's obsession is treated as both genuinely pathetic and weirdly brilliant at the same time. Students learn real things from someone who would rather be nowhere else, and somewhere between the eye-rolls and the actual lessons, something real happens.

Junichirou Kagami was once a genius physicist who had papers published in major scientific journals by the age of 17. After college he drifted into life as a NEET, pouring all his energy into his anime blog and caring about little beyond anime, manga and games. His sister Suzune has had enough of watching him waste himself, so she forces him to take a job as a substitute physics teacher at the high school she attends. Junichirou has no interest in teaching the standard curriculum, yet his odd methods, built on the knowledge he gathered as an otaku, turn out to motivate his students. Along the way his class picks up lessons about accepting others, making lasting friends, and living well by doing what you truly want to do, in a comedy with a touch of romance.
