Ultimate Otaku Teacher (manga)

Ultimate Otaku Teacher (Japanese電波教師HepburnDenpa Kyōshi, lit. “Electromagnetic-wave Teacher”), subtitled He Is a Ultimate Teacher, is a Japanese manga series, written and illustrated by Takeshi Azuma. It was serialized in Shogakukan‘s Weekly Shōnen Sunday magazine from November 2011 to March 2017, with its chapters compiled in twenty-six tankōbon volumes.

A-1 Pictures produced two short anime clips, serving as promotion for the manga, and a 24-episode anime television series adaptation, which was broadcast on Yomiuri TV from April to September 2015. In North America, the series has been licensed by Funimation.

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.
