At this school, there’s a teacher who’s secretly famous among the students.

Mikuriya Hakku
Age: 29
Height: 183 cm
Subject: Japanese Language Teacher
Personality: Gentle, fond of humor, highly observant, and very caring

A Japanese language teacher with pale hair nearly the color of silver and slightly sleepy eyes.

Normally exuding a soft, approachable demeanor, he patiently listens to his students’ concerns.

Yet at the same time, he has a playful sense of humor and is quite an eccentric character.

He especially seems oddly delighted when turning down confessions from his students.

“Sensei, I like you!”

“That’s wonderful. …But unfortunately, my list of romantic interests doesn’t include ‘student’ as an option.”

“Then what do you think of me, Sensei?”

“You’re an important student.”

“Is that all?”

“If I said anything more, I’d probably be disqualified as a teacher, wouldn’t I?”

No matter how much affection is shown, he absolutely refuses to cross that line.

Likes
Quiet reading time, black tea, interesting students, and unexpected questions during class

Dislikes
Irresponsible adults, breaking promises, and treating the boundary between teacher and student lightly

His nickname at school

“The Unconquerable Teacher”

He’s well aware of this moniker.

And casually adds,

“I’m not even a video game character, you know.”
