Aww yeah!
I got first place!!
Shut up!
--Hey Suzune! Check this out! What time do you think it is?! Stupid brother!
--My Super Bombastic Stories DX is first place on the Anime Blog Rankings... --Stop wasting time on your crazy Otaku website...
...and get a real job!
Beloved little sister, your brother cannot work due to a serious illness called "YD."
Why dee?
Yes... "YD."
Its patients can only do what he or she truly "Yearns to Do"...
Hey! Watch it!
You're hurting my precious treasures!
Here you go!
Uh? Huh...?
"Job application acceptance notice As: Physics Teacher Mr. Junichiro Kagami You have been accepted as a part-time teacher at East Shinmei High."
Big bro, you're going to be a teacher, starting tomorrow.
A teacher...
Yes, given this current economy, a teaching job is a good source of income,
even if it's part-time.
I may even get promoted to full time if I work hard!
The fact that this job is at my alma mater means less pressure, icing on the cake.
So you'll work?!
I refuse!
Because I have "YD"!
Cut that smug face out!
No! Stop!
Stupid big bro!
"Ultimate Otaku Teacher #01 | Search"
"I'm a High School Teacher Now"
"Principal's office"
I have to say I'm absolutely relieved!
Mrs. Watanabe had to take her maternity leave pretty suddenly, so...
You look half-decent with that coat on.
Sharpen up a little... like before.
Like before... right.
Um... Mr. Kagami? Mr. Kagami?
Why did you decide to hire a NEET like me without an interview?
I was hoping you would turn me down.
Don't be so modest!
You are "Young Genius Junichiro,"
whose papers were published in Nature, Science, and others
when you were just 17!
What were you doing for a whole year after graduating from college
and turning down the offers from famous research labs around the world?
I was working on keeping my anime blog up to date.
Huh? But why?
Well, I have no interest in science and physics and stuff.
♪ Ready aim fire! Dreaming Two-Hands! ♪
This song!
It's the opening theme to Magical Cannon Girl Bura-Kura, "Dreamy Two-Hands"!
Uh... Mr. Kagami?
It's coming from the roof!
Mr. Kagami, I wanted to talk some more--
You fool! The song is only 90 seconds long! I'm going to miss it!
Fool...?
♪ I'm a girl, but a hero ♪
♪ Not a heroine - a hero! ♪
♪ Romance and combat, always the last one standing. ♪
♪ Bang! Boom! Dreams in tow. ♪
♪ Bang! Boom! Never a missed shot. ♪
♪ I'm a love soldier, Magical Cannon Girl Bura-Kura! ♪
Who's that?!
Impressive! You're like the real thing!
I'm gonna be a voice actress.
A... voice actress?
I sing up here to train my voice and also my nerve.
Surprised? I'm already attending training school.
It's only a matter of time before I become a star!
How dare you underestimate voice acting!
Huh?
Training school?
There are more than a thousand of those all over Japan!
Tens of thousands of rivals are born each year!
Only a hundred or so can make a living as a voice actor.
Become a star? One in a hundred thousand!
That's less than the chance of getting in a car accident within the next three days!
Voice actors are gods.
Just because you have an above-average voice or can sing decently...
Doesn't mean you can claim you can become one!
Besides, you're "gonna be" a voice actress?
You're not the one to decide--
I will decide!
Ow... Straight punch to the face on a man she's just met?
Not my favorite type...
I wonder what the new physics teacher is like?
I heard he's a super genius that's a graduate of this school.
He published a Nobel-prize-winning paper while studying here!
"Drama Theory"
Minako!
I heard you were singing manga songs on the roof again!
Ew, a high school senior doing that? Gross!
Why don't you drop this crap and hang out with us...
...like old times?
"Drama Theory"
Hey, all...
Huh?! It's that guy!
--So um... Mrs. Watanabe is uh... --Is that really the new teacher?
--...taking maternity leave and uh... --He's very unenergetic...
Are you sure he's a genius?
Man, I'm completely unmotivated...
But I do have to teach this class...
There has to be a good way...
Ah. I know.
I am your new Physics teacher, Junichiro Kagami!
This is the URL to a popular smartphone game!
In order to introduce ourselves, we will play this game today!
What?!
Anyone who is able to beat me in this game
"Kaiketsu Battle Royale"
will get an automatic full score in the quiz next week!
Wow!
Alright everyone, get online!
Bring it on!
Party games are representative of life in general.
Each student's personality is well reflected in their gameplay style.
Perfect for introductions!
Dang!
What's up?
It got me!
--Miho Kitou... She seems to be the leader of this class. --Yoko, Keiko, you have to watch my back!
Pff! You're so weak!
Whoa, that's Face Punch!
She's in this class too?!
I see...
Yeah, this makes the relationships really clear.
Hey, Face Punch!
Is this your favorite lunch spot too?
Face...?! Hey, please don't call me some weird nickname!
I'll find somewhere else to eat!
Oh, by the way...
Why are you being bullied?
The direct culprits are Miho Kitou and her two friends...
But the others are staying away from you, to not get involved, right?
You had the guts to punch me in the face...
Why don't you fight back against them?
You're weird.
Weird... How can you call someone that, being who you are?
Everybody talks about how you used to be great
but didn't go on to research or something more important.
It's not weird. I just wanted to make an "Anywhere Door."
An "Anywhere Door"? That's impossible!
I built one, though.
What?!
To be accurate, I came up with the theoretical background to prove that it can be made.
I sent it to some magazine and they made a huge fuss about it.
I was able to complete the theoretical blueprints while I was in college, though.
It'll be the 22nd century before it can actually be built...
But it was real fun.
So you're not attached to research anymore?
I never was interested in the academics of physics or science...
I'm just a "YD"!
Why dee?
I can only do what I Yearn to Do!
Then what's your problem with me becoming a voice actress?!
Voice acting is special!
They are gods that breathe life into characters!
Well I'll tell you why I don't fight back to Miho and them.
I'm going to be a hero!
This is my test!
Huh? I thought you were gonna be a voice actress.
If I become a voice actress, I'll become a hero too!
High school girl trying to be a hero, hmm...
"East Shinmei High Annex"
I didn't realize I was in the lesson room for so long!
Is someone following me?!
I have to get away!
Hey, you charge 5,000 yen per touch, right?
M-Mr. Kagami?!
Run!
I only have one point in Strength!
So it was you who was following me...
I stumbled across this website...
"East Shinmei High Annex"...
Our school's underground website.
"Minako Kanou" "I seem uptight now, but two years ago..."
What is this?!
Miho Kitou uploaded your profile to this site.
So I got a little worried.
So, you followed me.
It was unfortunate that an idiot would actually take that seriously.
I don't blame him...
It is true that I used to be a delinquent.
I had some family issues back then.
I was hanging out with Miho and them every night until really late.
We would loiter around, get into fights, and generally be up to no good.
Then one day...
This world is shit.
There is no meaning to life.
"Rabbit: I want to die... I want to disappear. Unlike manga and anime, in real life, no hero saves you when you're down."
"I want to die...
Unlike in manga and anime, in real life, no heroes can save you when you're down."
"K.Y: LOL. Having a hard time, eh?"
"Here's a tip for rabbit..."
"If your world has no heroes, become one."
Those words gave meaning to my life.
Then I found out that those words were from Sergeant Saunders
in the anime called Magical Cannon Girl Bura-Kura.
That's when I realized that words from a story could save a person in real life.
If I become a voice actress, I can be a real hero!
That's why I will overcome all obstacles by myself.
That's the only way I can become a hero!
Hero, eh.
Hey, do you feel watched?
We're helping you with PR, making sure you raise buzz!
Hey, I heard voice actors do anything to improve their voice.
Here's a special drink we made that really works on your throat!
I heard Miho made her drink juice with chalk in it...
And so she's at the nurse's office? That's going too far!
"Nurse's office"
Face Punch!
Hey, Mr. Kagami...
I think the drink I had was expired or something...
Your voice...
But now I've gained another level!
My acting is so diverse now!
This is Miho and them again, right?
Stay out of this!
I'm fighting my past now.
I have to get over this myself.
Being a hero is a lonely fight.
Is that so.
Face Punch, you have to stay in character a bit more.
There's nobody here. What the hell?
Hey there, Wicked Blondie!
Who you calling wicked?!
What do you want, anyway?!
Do you really enjoy harassing Minako Kanou?
What are you talking about? We don't know anything.
Cool! Just what I wanted to hear to make this interesting.
Almost as interesting as a late-night 5%-on TV Yomi.
Sorry to bother you guys.
Time to start the lecture.
Should we do something? Kagami totally suspects us...
Do you think he might have hacked into the Annex site?
Whatever! I don't know who made that website, but its security is totally legit.
Nobody can hack it easily like that!
Yeah, even if Kagami is totally Otaku, he can't...
Miho, did you just message me?
Huh? No.
But look!
This is an Annex message from Miho.
What does it say?
"Look up"
Look up...?
What is this?!
It's chalk powder!
Bullies that prey on innocent girls!
I, Justice Man, will punish you!
Justice Man?!
Cut it out, Kagami!
Your outfit and voice is obvious!
Huh?! Why are we on this?
That video, "Justice Man vs Bully High School Girls - It's punishment time!"...
...is being broadcast to the entire world right now, live!
What?!
Look! Three live comment threads already!
Hey, you're a teacher! You're not supposed to do that without proof!
Proof?
You three are always on the East Shinmei High Annex Chat!
Did you hack the site?!
Hack? Why? I don't need to...
I made that site!
What?!
I teamed up with the other Otaku in my class
to set up a way to trade wonderful photos we found.
Then I graduate and forget about it for just one moment, and you fools ruined it!
I hope you're ready for your punishment, apes!
So he saw everything in the chat and the messages...?
As punishment, I will dump the archives full of your personal information
to this live comment thread.
What?! Stop it! That's no joke!
Our phone numbers and addresses are in there!
We just wanted to get her attention, because she stopped hanging out with us...
We weren't bullying her!
Well, you're right. It's not bullying.
Right?
Criminal law, article 204, Injury!
Criminal law, article 222, Intimidation!
Criminal law, article 61 item 1, Inducement of Assault!
Those antics of yours are bona fide crimes!
Come on... Stop it...
Just helping you with PR!
Enjoy being watched...
...for the rest of your life.
No...
Oh look! A prank phone call already!
You'd better pick up, before they call your parents or your school...
Uh, h-hello?
Trolled!
Huh?!
Did I scare you?
Everything you saw, the video and the thread, was a troll site made by me!
Now do you see what it's like to be on the receiving end?
Mr. Kagami!
Hey, Face Punch!
What did you do?
Nothing, just gave an extracurricular lesson to a trio of difficult students.
I told you I can handle this alone!
Why do you do this?!
If there is no hero, become one... right?
But Sergeant Saunders from Bura-Kura always gets help from Corporal Hartman, right?
Huh?
Even Batman has Robin as his sidekick.
Heroes might be lonely, that doesn't mean they always fight alone.
Little rabbit.
I told you, right? I have YD.
I can't do anything I don't Yearn to Do.
That concludes my lecture for today.
So... it was you...
"K.Y: LOL. Having a hard time, eh?" "If your world has no heroes, become one."
He knew everything about me all along...
Thank you, Mr. Kagami!
Interesting...
He is a very interesting teacher indeed.

Hi! This is Minako Kanou, aka Face Punch.
Who would've guessed that post was by Mr. Kagami!
He saved me not once, but twice.
Next episode, YD Teacher Junichiro Kagami pisses off the class chairperson!
What are you gonna do, Mr. Kagami...
What?! He molested a woman?!
Period two, "Laws of Society."
If that's for real, it'll be more than just a face punch!
By the way, who's that woman at the end?
