She's going to work a sex industry job.
- Kinrei! - Haruko!
What are you doing!?
You'll graduate with everyone else.
- Police. Take her in. - Okay.
Let go of my student!
Interfere with us and we'll arrest you!
So you spent the whole night at the police station?
Haruko didn't do anything wrong. She helped me.
Maybe it was for your student, but not for this school!
Ah, Katori-sensei. Take Kinrei to the classroom.
Okay. Let's go.
I'll come later. Don't worry.
Who's in charge here?
Unfortunately, the principal is in the hospital currently...
I'm in charge for now, Ikegami.
- Takasu. - Figured you show up.
Takasu-sensei?
The Tokyo Immigration Office.
So they were classmates.
But why is someone from the Ministry of Justice here in the first place?
There's no problem with Kinrei, right?
Yeah. We looked into it, nothing happened.
She never worked any nightlife or sex industry job.
Thank you very much.
You're the problem.
- Ikegami... - The reality is, one of your teachers got arrested.
It's quite possible any other foreign students at this school
may be unable to receive visas going forward.
- No more visas? - This place would go bankrupt.
When I hear something, I'll be in touch.
By the way, how much longer will she be here?
- Let's get to class. - Yeah.
If I quit, then this school is safe, right?
What are you saying?
Right? If I quit the school,
students can keep studying here.
The graduation exam is almost here.
Yeah, come on!
- The students are waiting. - I'll quit.
- Haruko-sensei... - I don't want to cause any more trouble.
I'll quit being a Japanese teacher.

I heard the Immigration Office came. How come?
Was it about me?
It's okay. They know you haven't done anything.
Haruko, are you okay?
Of course I am!
That's good.
Haruko, please start the lesson.
Is something wrong?
Ah... how have studies been going so far?
Do you like Japanese now?
Well, it's tough, but I don't hate it.
Okay. Why doesn't everyone tell me what Japanese they like?
Well, it's something we all discovered a few days ago.
There are a lot of words in Japan that our countries don't have.
Words only in Japan, right?
Well, the one thing that left a deep impression on me,
is "ichigo ichie" (once in a lifetime encounter).
Ah, Sen no Rikyu.
Yes. Every meeting is once in a lifetime, so treat others
with the most hospitality. I think it's beautiful Japanese.
Right.
I like "okaeri" (welcome home).
They don't have "okaeri" in China?
There isn't a set phrase.
When I come back to the apartment, my landlord always says "okaeri" to me.
It's warm Japanese.
I like "mottainai" (unworthy).
I know that. That's a Japanese only saying, right?
Japan places importance on everything. I think it's wonderful.
I like "otsukaresama" (good work).
Ellen, you don't like ninja?
They have ninja in Sweden, but nothing like "otsukaresama".
Not just "bye bye", but "otsukaresama". It's gentle Japanese.
- Yeah. - I like "yubikiri" (pinky swear).
- "Yubikiri"? - They have words like that
- in China too. - Don't speak up when I'm talking!
What Japanese do you like, Haruko?
Tell us!
Well, before that. I have something I need to tell everyone today.
Actually, I'll be quitting this school today.
Quit? Why?
I found a high school teaching position.
They told me to come over as soon as possible.
Isn't that a little cold?
Can't be helped! It's my dream after all.
Anyway, you guys hurry up and graduate
and fulfill your dreams. Okay?
See you!
Come back here!
You liar!
Please take care of them.
The office can get this quiet?
I don't really feel all settled.
So the "ru" verbs and those in the third group,
take "o" plus "narimasu". So, don't go saying
"o kaki ni narimasu", okay?
What is it? Did you already learn this?
- I don't get it. - Don't get what Kinrei?
I don't know why Haruko quit!
Don't talk about her.
- Stop acting so tough. - I'm not acting!
Hey! Sit down Bob.
She's a high school teacher now.
You lie! Haruko promised me!
She said she would graduate with everyone.
Then focus on class! So you all can graduate.
This isn't everyone!
Kinrei-san means that Haruko should also be a part of our class.
I agree with her.
Bring Haruko back!
- Yeah! - Bring her back!
Sorry for this after all your help.
What will you do now?
It's a police matter now. I can't introduce you to a high school.
I don't need to be a teacher. Japanese or high school.
I don't meet the qualifications to teach someone.
- Ah, and I thought you had become more like a parent. - Like a parent?
Hey, do you remember that time?
Teachers are just like parents.
I'd like you to volunteer to pay back for your trouble.
Volunteer?
Thanks for reading the book, teacher.
Me... a teacher?
That's when I started thinking about being a teacher.
So you can quit just like that then?
But...
A teacher needs feeling more than any qualifications.
Do you have no more feelings for your students now?
Here.
Ramen Half Price Coupon
Welcome!
Haruko!
Takasu-sensei!
What do you want with me?
"What do you want with me, Takasu-sensei?"
Sit.
Come back to school.
I would never say that, even if I was dying.
I get it!
So what is it?
Your class is strange.
Of course, foreigners are more individualistic
than Japanese, but your class is really different.
How so?
Well, I've taught Japanese for a long time
but this is the first time I've seen such a unified class.
Everyone wants to graduate with you.
With me?
- Hey! Bring the "tebo"! - Okay.
Ah, come on! No!
This is a "tebo".
Just go wash the pots!
Bob has worked hard. While the boss is away,
he left Bob in charge of the place.
And he was the one being yelled at before.
He grew up because of you.
Well, they call it "beginner's luck" in horse racing.
What do you want me to do?
You figure out what is best.
Hey, your receipt!
Here's the rest of your salary.
- So pay up. - Huh?
Hey! This is my money!
Everyone wants to graduate with you.
You figure out what is best.
Ah, excuse me. We want to go to the ward office but
could you tell us the way there?
Oh, the ward office, go straight west out of the park...
Oh, if you'd like, I can take you there.
Ah, no need.
No, it's no trouble at all. I have plenty of time.
Despite the way you look, you speak Japanese quite beautifully.
That's rude! I'm sorry.
No, that's the first time I've been told that.
Did your parents teach you?
No.
I was taught Japanese by foreigners.
My first group of students.
Graduation Exam 9:00-10:00
Shibuya-sensei, the test is going to start soon.
- Not yet. - No, we have to go.
Hello? Haruko-sensei!
Did you already start the graduation exam?
Okay, then...
- Haruko-sensei just called! - Everyone, listen up.
Haruko-sensei is going to take test with all of you now.
Haruko too?
She told everyone to graduate!
Okay, focus! And start!
They won't remember if you just teach them names!
Everyone, you want to get used to life in Japan, right?
To survive, right?
Rinse, right away. Bob, work hard.
Thanks teacher.
You're the one teaching Japanese half heartedly!
You have a foreigner pointing out incorrect Japanese?
Aren't you embarrassed as a Japanese person?
Thanks, teacher.
I'm sure that I'm much younger than you.
Maybe not as dependable as you. But I'm your foster parent here.
What kind of parent would let her child run into danger?
Thank you very much, teacher.
Don't blame the Japanese language!
Words aren't something you speak.
It's here. You speak from here.
Thanks a lot, teacher.
Sure, there are times when lack of cultural knowledge makes people angry.
But, everyone is learning and worked hard on these!
Teacher, thank you very much.
Haruko!
Ellen! Hands off of my student!
Thanks a lot, teacher.
Don't laugh at someone's dream!
People like you, judging those on their appearances,
you'll never understand what makes Paul great.
Thank you very much, teacher.
Jack is an amazing student. He's fluent in Japanese.
His keigo is some of the best.
He might even know more about Japan than you, President.
Thank you very much, teacher.
Kinrei is my student!
And it's guys like you that give
Japanese a bad name!
Pinky swear. You'll graduate with everyone else.
Thanks, teacher.
Haruko-sensei.
The graduation exam went fine. I think everyone did their best.
I see.
I just came to pick up some things. I'm going home now.
Just like the students said.
Hmm?
Welcome back!
Why?
We figured you were coming, so we all waited.
Thanks for taking the test with us.
Yeah...
I believed in you. Because we pinky swore.
Actually, I came here because there was one other thing I realized.
Oh yeah. I haven't told you what my favorite Japanese word was.
Tell us!
My favorite Japanese word is "arigatou" (thanks).
When I was in high school,
I broke the rules of my school and was going to be expelled.
Back then, my homeroom teacher, Akimoto-sensei, she's the principal here now.
Back then, she helped me out.
To thank her, I volunteered to read books to children.
And some told me "thank you", then.
I was very happy.
It was the first time I thought, even someone like me,
could actually help people.
- So that's when you started wanting to be a teacher? - Yes.
Then, you should be a teacher!
Isn't it your dream?
We heard everything from Takasu-sensei.
It's terrible to give up on your dream.
- Haruko! - Haruko!
Haruko!
I've only been here for 3 months but,
hearing all of you say "thank you",
it made me very happy.
But, I figured something out.
There's something even more wonderful than
being thanked by your students.
It's having the chance to meet you all.
I'm truly happy you were all my students.
I'm truly happy you were my first group of students.
I'm truly happy we could all study together.
It's really fun to be a teacher.
I guess I can't quit.
Haruko...
I won't quit on my dream.
Someday, I will become a proper teacher.
I realized this because of all of you.
This is also a once in a lifetime encounter.
Yeah.
I just wanted to tell you all this before the graduation results came out.
I'm truly thankful you all became my students.
Second semester begins
Did you find the new Japanese teacher?
- Yeah. She should be here pretty soon. - Huh?
Good morning!
I look forward to working here starting today. I'm Umino Nagiko.
Umino Nagiko?
Nagiko-sensei is a 4 year Japanese teaching veteran.
All right! You got a sure winner this time.
Isn't it more fun to bet on the dark horse?
Stupid! What's so interesting about work...
Hello! I'm the dark horse!
- Haruko-sensei! - Haruko-sensei!
Hey hey! Principal, what is this?
I ran it by the Ministry of Justice.
Okay, I'm going to class.
Hey hey! I didn't give you permission!
What are you saying? Didn't you pinky swear?
- Right, Katori-sensei? - I'm not Katori...
- I'm Katori. Haha. - Haha.
Pinky swear?
If my whole class doesn't graduate,
I'll quit my high school teaching job.
You promised. Charisma-sensei!
Morning!
Oh, Haruko again?
Well, everyone except Jack didn't graduate,
come on guys!
Is it because your teachings were bad?
Didn't you fail the test too?
I forgot to write my name.
I'm sorry for being late.
Jack! Didn't you pass the test?
Please don't be so cold.
I want to graduate with everyone. Right?
All right! This time we'll all pass!
Haruko! Question!
Well, bring it on then!
