Do you know "YD"?
"Going out in a Yukata"
Yukata de Date?
"I love BBQ"
Yakiniku Daisuki?
Wrong!
I can only do what I truly Yearn to Do... That's me, Junichiro Kagami!
"Ultimate Otaku Teacher #07 | Search"
"A Beautiful Girl's Secret"
"Student roster"
It's finally over...
Big bro...
Hey, what's up, sister?
Oh yeah, you just started teaching our class.
She's in my class, right?
Yeah. I'll introduce her.
"Icho Academy, class 2-3: Kanan Chinami"
This is Kanan Chinami.
She has some questions in physics
and wanted to get your help.
What?!
But I just finished class!
Is there a problem?
No? Why?
You don't have to play hard to get.
You don't have to threaten my life each time.
Anyway, Kanan needs to ace the physics exam.
She needs your help.
Why bother?
It's not like your life depends on it.
She needs to be in the top 10 for this test, so that she can go to You Red Pond's concert.
You...?
She's a super famous singer from the U.S.
She has this beautifully clear voice, and Kanan is a big fan.
She has to go to the concert.
So why does she need grades for that?
Kanan's parents are really strict.
She needs to impress them to be allowed to go.
Get it?
Well, I guess I am the teacher.
So, what don't you get?
Blazin' fast!
"Physics has always been hard for me..."
W-Wait, something is fundamentally wrong here!
Uh, so this exchange...
Just answer the question!
She doesn't talk?
"Kanan Chinami" "Thank you for your help."
Yeah.
Kanan and I were classmates in middle school.
She never utters a word.
Some people made fun of her voice back in middle school.
Since then, she only speaks through text.
She's really pretty, and the "no talking" thing made her famous in a weird way.
Now people treat her like a challenge.
Lots of guys try to get her to talk, but nobody has heard her voice yet.
Nobody, huh.
Well, that's a silly reason to go down such a tough path.
Don't be like that.
It's supposed to be a secret, but her voice is...
Whaaaaat?!
That changes everything.
She must speak. No matter what!
"Icho Academy"
Miss Kanan Chinami. Miss Kanan Chinami.
Please come to the science storage room.
I repeat. Class 2-3...
"Science storage room"
Okay let's do a final test.
I heard from my sister.
You have an anime voice, right?
So I've set up a postrecording session for you.
Oh, that?
I just had to hear your voice,
so I remodeled the storage room and turned it into a postrecording studio.
It was a lot of work, you know, the acoustics and all that...
"You don't get it at all! Why would you do this?!"
Why would I do this?
Because I want to hear your voice, of course!
Did you know?
There are about 2,000 professional voice actors in the market.
But amongst those, less than 10 are the "chosen ones"--
people with natural anime voices!
You rarely ever get to hear such a voice!
I would give my life to hear a real anime voice whispered into my ear!
I wonder what a good line would be?
Maybe Sergeant Saunders' signature line, "Bakyuun"?
And then...
"I envy you, you must have no worries at all."
Indeed.
None at all.
Now you understand how precious your voice is.
Behold! The super priceless recording script for episode one of Magical Cannon Girl Bura-Kura!
"Magical Cannon Girl Bura-Kura" "Postrecording script"
Alright, let's begin!
Kanan Chinami's voice--I guess it's not that easy, as I expected.
"I hate you!"
But finally, everything is ready.
Time to start the lecture!
Big bro, did you do something to Kanan yesterday?
What's wrong Suzune?
I've been texting her, and she's silent.
Silent?
This is quite unique.
Big bro, Kanan is really delicate.
You can't bug her about her voice.
"Fire in Tokyo last night"
--Earlier today, a fire broke out,
--Is that what you really think? --Earlier today, a fire broke out,
--Are you sure that's best for her? --burning a civilian home and...
Well, maybe not, but...
Okay, you get to help me this time.
We are talking about a priceless anime voice.
I can't just let this slide.
Why do I feel tricked?
Next on the news--You Red Pond, the world-famous singer,
has begun her world tour.
She will be travelling to 130 countries...
"Library"
"Rage! Rage! Rage!"
Having a hard time?
With one more week left before the test,
how much can you do all alone?
It doesn't seem like you've made much progress.
No response? How cold.
Please say the password.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
I've modified the doors in the library.
It's voice-activated.
In order to open it, you have to...
Okay, so still more work to do then.
Oh, Mrs. Chinami, you're so wonderfully youthful!
Oh, I get that a lot!
Hey, welcome home Kanan.
We were waiting for you!
Come here, Kanan!
Kanan, you should have let me know your teacher was coming!
Oh, no, it's my fault.
Please don't scold Miss Kanan.
I just couldn't stop myself from helping this very eager student.
Oh, you are such a passionate teacher!
Perhaps with you, Kanan can score in the top ten of her class in physics.
You can count on me.
I am, after all, a physics teacher.
Oh how dramatic!
"Please go away."
We can't just go away.
I expected that.
Hey, Suzune.
Yeah.
Suzune will translate for me, since she's used to talking to you.
Go ahead, let it all out.
Can you please leave? I have to study.
I don't want anything to do with you.
Are you sure that's what you want?
Of course it is.
Besides, why did you come all the way out here?!
I'm here to get your test scores up to the top ten, obviously.
What?
This setup is pretty cool.
Getting you from the bottom all the way up to the top ten, in one week?
Your voice will be my reward. Deal?
No, it's not a deal!
No matter what anyone says, I will never speak again!
Like I said,
are you sure that's what you want?
You "have to" go to You's concert, right?
You have to get your grades up to do that.
And you can't do that without my help.
All you have to do is let me hear your voice.
Sounds like a good deal, doesn't it?
Can I really make the top ten in a week?
Of course.
Failing such a simple task would put my YD to shame.
Here, if you don't make the top ten,
I will quit my job. How's that?
Big bro, that's...
What do you say?
Deal.
I analyzed your grades for every subject from seventh grade.
Your understanding of quadratic functions and multipliers is weak.
Naturally, that would put you at a disadvantage when studying wave equations and dynamics.
That's why your grades are going nowhere.
So I built you this.
Kanan Quest, the personalized video game just for you!
"Kanan"
This program calculates your weaknesses and creates problems on the fly.
"Wave properties draw near!"
"Q: What is the frequency of a sound wave that oscillates 200 times a second?"
"Kanan"
As your understanding deepens, the questions get harder.
Are you up for it?
"Kanan"
"Q: An object with m=2.5kg is travelling at a constant force of F=-a[N]i. Calculate the acceleration of this object. Assume a=8x100."
"Newton's second law draws near!"
"Kanan"
"Natural Logarithm casts Sine Wave"
"1 Natural Logarithm"
"Kanan"
"Attack" "Speels" "Escape"
"Kanan is dead"
"Six days until exam"
"Fourier Expansion casts Infinite"
"Kanan"
"1 Fourier"
"Attack" "Speels" "Escape"
"Kanan is dead"
"Five days until exam"
"Kanan is dead"
"Four days until exam"
If you can get past level 8, you should be able to score 80/100.
Don't worry so much.
You'll be able to solve easy problems like these in no time.
"It's not easy for me."
It's not easy for me?
Okay, got it.
I'm coming in.
Here, since you said it was too hard, I put a new system together overnight!
Kanan Fantasy 2, the personalized video game just for you!
I added a debug function to further develop your skills.
It analyzes your weaknesses to help you overcome them with clearer questions.
Now your grades will rise for sure!
Also note the full CGI visuals!
The game is now in 3D,
which gives a wider field of view.
Now you can enjoy thinking and decision-making in...
"Mr. Kagami!"
Oh, did I fall asleep?
Sorry, I didn't get much sleep over the past few days.
"I'm sorry."
Sorry?
For what? It's my fault...
You have to get within the top ten for that.
As an otaku, I take pride in making appropriate payments
for things I find truly valuable.
I appreciate the gesture, though.
I got 5/100 on my first physics test.
I didn't find it interesting at all.
But I wanted to build an "Anywhere Door."
I was told I needed to know physics for that.
I only studied physics because I had to.
Doing what I "yearn to do"
is not necessarily always doing what I'm good at, or what I can already do.
In order to realize a bigger goal,
sometimes I have to do something I'm bad at.
I'm just like you.
"Whoa, what is that anime voice?!"
Whoa, what is that anime voice?!
"Is that really her real voice? Are you sure it's not edited?"
Is that really her real voice?
Are you sure it's not edited?
"I can't concentrate on the content!" "Dat center girl!"
This is godlike! Sort of!
"This is godlike! Sort of!"
Her voice is in the 2.5th dimension!
"Her voice is in the 2.5th dimension!"
"Stop it!"
Wow, Kanan, you're like super popular!
Look at all the comments!
I always thought your voice was what they call an "anime voice."
Now I know for sure!
"Please! Stop!"
Huh? The comments stopped. What happened?
It was like a storm until just now.
Hey, look!
It's You's concert, live on air!
I guess everyone went to watch that instead.
"You"
"She is my savior"
So, the exam is today.
How is Kanan doing?
Mm-hmm.
What's that?
Behold!
Let's see...
Level 10?!
This is great!
I didn't think she'd get past level 9.
So she's all ready for the test?
Yep, indeed.
Hmm? What's this?
"This is Chinami." "I need to talk to you before the test."
Need to talk to me?
So what did you want?
"PC room"
Let's see...
"Mr. Kagami, I hate my voice."
Hate your voic--yeah, I know.
That's probably why you love You's voice so much.
"She saved me.
Since that day, hearing her sing made me forget all my problems."
Saved, eh?
Well I don't know the details.
"It's so clear and beautiful, unlike mine."
Well, if you ask me, I could care less.
See? My voice is nothing like You.
Still don't get it?
And you know what?
And you know what? And you know what?
Which voice would you be happy with?
I have a terrible voice, but I still sing.
I go karaoke with friends too.
They have fun, despite how terrible my singing is.
Do you get it now?
People like and enjoy different things.
Some people like it, some people don't.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Well, all that logic aside, my point is simple.
I want to hear your voice.
That's it for today's lecture.
I have high hopes for you. I mean, you need to get a good score, or else...
Bakyuun!
Whoa, she totally stunned me!
Go get 'em, Anime Girl!
Dangit!
I forgot to record that!
"Next Episode | Search"
Bakyuun! This is Kanan Chinami!
I've gotten over it now, thanks to Mr. Kagami!
This anime voice is who I am, after all!
In the next episode,
Mr. Kagami meets a gothic-lolita girl in Akiba.
She is Sachiko Tanaka, a truant in our class.
Period Eight, "The Truant is a Grand Master."
Her alternate identity is revealed,
along with her rivalry with student council head Momozono!
