Good morning!

Good morning!

To my dearest wife.

Ex-wife.

It's already been a year since our divorce.

As vice principal,

my daily life has been spent solving issues on campus,

steadily making my way toward becoming Principal.

It hurts!

Hey, Onizuka!

I just bought this scooter…

I'll see that guy fired, even if it kills me!

To my dearest wife.

My terrible summer cold has finally cleared up.

I was getting excited to run full throttle into the second term…

But another major crisis struck.

Wait, what is this?

HE'S BEEN FIRED FROM ALL HIS PREVIOUS SCHOOLS

FOR USING VIOLENCE, SEXUAL HARASSMENT, ETC.

I WON'T TRUST HIM

Hey.

Who the heck is still doing this?

I am.

I commend you for coming forward.

I hate people who post slander online,

like throwing stones from a safe distance.

Don't get defensive. Just explain.

All of this is true, isn't it?

Yes.

I did get fired for those.

No way…

Personally,

I don't think I did anything wrong.

Some of the stuff I never even did.

Like sexual harassment. Or indecent behavior.

What the heck?

You're still playing dumb?

Everyone!

Are you sure you want someone like him as our homeroom teacher?

I have nothing to feel guilty about,

but the student in question hired her father's legal counsel

to uncover the truth,

and she's making a fuss, saying she won't stop until I resign.

What do you think I should do?

You haven't replied at all since that day…

If you're mad because Ms. Kashiwabara visited me when I was sick,

there's nothing improper going on between us.

Please believe me.

What is the meaning of this?

You never told us about all of this.

They only wrote all of this to be sensational.

It's fake news. Fake news.

Who would believe you?

The information leaked to parents too, and the phones have been ringing nonstop.

To be frank, this is a real nuisance.

See!

Hello, Seishin Academy. Yes, this is a misunderstanding.

-Well, since it's Mr. Onizuka… -That's right.

There must have been a valid reason, right?

You've been completely corrupted by him lately.

That's not true.

Well then, excuse me.

What on earth do you plan to do, Principal?

If we don't fire Onizuka immediately, we can't do our jobs.

Yes, that's true, but…

Vice Principal, shouldn't we calm down a bit?

Mr. Onizuka hasn't been sued by any of the schools.

And now, he's even highly rated by most of the class.

Because of this incident, it has dropped to less than half again.

What? No way! Show me.

When you hired Onizuka,

did you check his background properly, Mr. Miyazawa?

-Of course I did. -Then why hire him?

I believe Mr. Onizuka is a teacher who cares about the students

more than anyone else.

That's right.

I don't care about your opinion.

Report to your company

and have them dismiss him as soon as possible.

I will report to the company, but I'll explain that there is no need to fire him.

That's right.

What?

You used to be his student, so you're Onizuka's yes-man, huh?

Right.

Or maybe he has something on you?

I know you are the vice principal,

but I think there are things you should and shouldn't say.

What's with that look?

Both of you calm down.

We can work this out if we talk.

Why are you acting like a bystander?

We're talking about you!

Please believe me.

Stop using that tone!

-Believe me! -Stop it!

Unfortunately, Mr. Onizuka

has been suspended until the issue settles down.

-What? -Suspended?

Miss!

Onicchi will come back, right?

Of course.

Ayano, why did you do such a thing?

Despite how he looks, Onicchi has a warm heart.

Why don't you all snap out of it already?

How long are you going to let him fool you?

Are you stupid?

What do you mean by that?

Do you find it fun making these posts, trying to rile us up?

Answer us, Ayano!

Answer us, Ayano!

-Stop it! -Ayano!

Everyone calm down.

But honestly, having problems occur week after week…

I just want a break.

Besides, if this is true…

I'm kind of scared.

Yeah, exactly.

I'm telling you, Onicchi isn't like that!

This is obviously fake news!

How can you be so sure?

Yeah!

Hey, what are you all doing?

Don't fight in class!

This is not good. It's best we don't talk at school.

Just a little is fine.

Mr. Soma Sato, what's wrong?

Soma, is there anything bothering you?

Not really.

The people you met at the school gate the other day, who are they?

They're my middle school classmates.

Don't forget.

We have words at our disposal.

What do you mean?

If you're worrying about something, won't you tell me?

I know a lot has happened, and it's not easy to open up.

But if you don't tell me, I can't help you even if I want to.

You sound a bit like Onizuka,

Ms. Kashiwabara.

What?

You called my name without an honorific.

Your vibe has changed a bit too.

Really?

Well, do your best.

Kotone.

Ms. Kotone.

Um…

Are you dating anyone?

Isn't this sexual harassment?

How should I put it…

You're level-headed, so I was worried you might

try to solve your problems all by yourself.

Instead of me,

shouldn't you worry about her?

Hey, Ms. Ayano, what are you doing?

Nothing really.

Hey, about Mr. Onizuka…

If you have a complaint, please use the chat. I'm busy.

Bad rumors are spreading faster and faster.

Like how you used to be a regular at S&M clubs,

did illegal side jobs, and have a criminal record.

This situation really represents our social media society.

Don't sound so carefree. We need to explain this to the parents!

Before that, Ryunosuke.

What is it?

Sorry for making you go through that.

-What? -Well, you know…

The Vice Principal said you had dirt I was exploiting,

and all that terrible stuff.

Even though you're the cleanest and most upright man I know.

Mr. Onizuka.

What's with the scary face?

Actually, I…

Mr. Onizuka.

What's wrong, Ms. Kashiwabara?

-I need to talk to you about something. -Okay.

Well,

actually, I've recently realized how difficult being a teacher is.

Why?

Until now, I thought I'd quit soon anyway, so I acted without fearing anything.

Okay. And?

Well, so…

Right, I'll be leaving then.

Oh, Mr. Miyazawa.

Yes, what is it?

Are you really not seeing anyone?

I'm not.

Then…

Ms. Kashiwabara, do you like Ryunosuke?

No, it's not like that.

Then what's wrong?

I'm telling you, it's…

I'll tell you once Ms. Ayano's problem is solved.

You really are a ladies' man.

I don't know anything!

Shouldn't we practice our drills?

I'm not in the mood for that. I'm worried about Onicchi.

Ayano.

The atmosphere is terrible because of you.

What? What are you talking about?

It's all Onizuka's fault, isn't it?

You say that, but you're still posting a ton of bad things about Onicchi!

I've stopped acting like a good kid.

So let me say this.

Do you seriously think our school will make the Drill Team official?

It's too lame!

What are you so upset about?

You're pretty, your family is rich, and everyone in the class liked you!

A carefree person like you could never understand my pain.

What? What's that? You act so high and mighty.

That goes for you too!

-What are you doing? -Yuukichi!

Hey!

You're the one who always acts so cocky!

You too! I don't understand you at all!

Ayano!

If you have any problems, we will help you out.

What? Now you're being condescending too!

So annoying!

Don't say that. Aren't we classmates?

I've never thought of us that way even once.

What?

Just so you know,

I was never supposed to be at a school like this!

I'm home.

Ayano, I'm coming in.

Wait a minute.

What are you doing? It's almost time for your piano lesson.

Honestly,

if you had gotten into my old high school, we wouldn't have wasted that uniform.

How long are you going to keep saying that?

We were wrong to buy that uniform before she even passed the exam.

What? Are you saying it's my fault?

I'm telling you to understand Ayano's feelings.

I understand her feelings much better than you do!

Hey, Ayano.

Shall we go shopping on my next day off?

I'll buy you the clothes you want.

Thank you.

You're spoiling her again.

You should stop finding fault with everything I do!

That's because you keep doing things that get you criticized!

What? Why can't I buy her clothes?

It's time to decide what we want to do for the culture festival.

Does anyone have any good ideas?

By the way, Mr. Onizuka said…

"A haunted house or a cosplay cafe would be good."

That's his opinion.

We can't listen to someone who isn't our homeroom teacher.

What are you saying?

Onicchi is still our homeroom teacher, right?

Just accept it already.

That man isn't qualified to be a teacher.

And you!

Stop spreading fake rumors already.

Please stop fighting. I'm begging you.

ONE NEW POST

THE TRUTH ABOUT AYANO ASHIDA

Wait, what is this?

DID SHE BULLY A CLASSMATE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?

SHE LIVES LAVISHLY

DID SHE BULLY A CLASSMATE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?

SHE LIVES LAVISHLY LIKE EVERY DAY IS HER BIRTHDAY

SHE GOT INTO SEISHIN ACADEMY BECAUSE HER PARENTS KNEW SOMEONE

Hey, who is spreading this fake info?

It was you, wasn't it?

What? No idea.

Don't play dumb.

I wouldn't. I'm not a coward like you!

-What? -Stop it.

Both of you calm down. I did it.

What? Don't mess with me!

You too.

Now do you understand how Onicchi feels?

Even so, there's no need to go that far!

Aren't you all trusting Onizuka too much?

You don't know anything about Onicchi, so don't go judging him!

-You can't trust Onizuka too much! -What do you even know?

Everyone, calm down a bit. Hey!

Give me a break already.

Hey!

The whole school can hear you.

Sit down.

Onicchi, tell these guys to behave!

Sure, but…

Why are you doing something that tears the class apart, Yuu?

Wait,

why am I being scolded here?

Didn't you start the Drill Team because you wanted to unite the class?

That's true, but…

What is this?

I wrote down the detailed reasons why I quit my previous schools.

FIRED FOR BEATING UP PUNKS FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL

USED THE PRINCIPAL'S CAR TO TAKE THE CLASS ON A GRADUATION TRIP

TOOK A TRUANT KID TO THE GRADUATION CEREMONY

HELPED SAVE THE KARATE CLUB

What is to say you didn't make all of these up?

I'll let you be the judge. Think and decide for yourself.

What?

If you still won't trust me,

then I…

will quit being this class's homeroom teacher, as well as the school.

-No way. -What?

EXPOSED THE HEAD OF YEAR'S HARASSMENT

Pass these around.

WAS BEING REASSIGNED TO HOKKAIDO

HAD A GAMBLING BOOTH AT CULTURE FESTIVAL

No way we can believe something like this!

Please read it properly. I spent all night writing it.

The handwriting is messy, full of typos and missing words…

Give up on being a teacher already!

It's ridiculous for a former bike gang member to become a teacher anyway.

Wait, what's with that?

Vice Principal.

What is it, Principal?

Are former bike gang members not allowed to become teachers?

What?

What's gotten into you, Principal?

Well,

you speak as if former gang members aren't human beings.

What happened to the Principal?

I've never seen him like this before.

I didn't mean it like that…

Why are you defending them so much?

Oh, that's because…

It's nothing.

-What? -I'm sorry.

No, it's not nothing…

He was clenching his fists…

Everyone.

Did you read it?

Who here believes in me?

What?

What is this?

Why do you all believe a guy like him?

You're so easily fooled. Are you stupid?

There isn't a single adult in this world worth respecting!

They act all nice and proper, but in the end, they're sneaky and dirty.

It's over!

For this school, and this country!

Heading toward inequality and declining birth rates,

never taking measures against global warming,

not to mention nuclear weapons and war.

Why can't they understand that killing is wrong?

What do they think our future even is?

To be clear,

I don't respect you at all.

You'll be dead in 20 or 30 years anyway,

so can you stop getting in the way of our lives?

Hey.

Ayano!

I was also once a high school student without any charm like you,

so I understand what you want to say…

But you're just taking online information at face value, without thinking,

like people who spread hoaxes about "those invading foreigners!"

Wait, what are you doing?

Enough already.

Talking any further is useless.

Ayano, wait a minute!

Shut up!

This is why I didn't want to go to this school!

Ayano.

What?

Are you okay?

What? Are you pretending to care?

It's not like that.

We went to the same middle school, after all.

Don't tell me

you'll tell everyone I failed my high school entrance exam and got held back?

I wouldn't do that.

Soma!

-Hey! -Yo!

You still hang out with those guys?

It's not like that.

Huh? We've never seen her before.

Are you guys in love?

As if.

Quit it…

-What the heck? -Don't get cocky!

ASHIDA

What are you doing? Do it properly!

I'm sorry.

You haven't been concentrating at all.

Did something happen at school?

So you still don't know…

What?

It's nothing really.

Are you actually studying?

You know you can't let your grades drop any further, right?

Yes.

FOREIGNERS SHOULD JUST GO BACK TO THEIR COUNTRIES

PEOPLE ON WELFARE SHOULDN'T KEEP DOGS

IT'S OBVIOUS SHE HAD SURGERY DONE ON HER FACE

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

EIFUKU HIGH SCHOOL

Good morning.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Good morning. -Morning!

Good morning.

Who are you?

What?

You don't look familiar. What year and class are you in?

About that…

I think this girl is sneaking into our school!

-You serious? -For real?

You are not from our school, right?

What are you doing here?

Don't stay quiet. Please explain.

I…

Hello there, everyone!

How's it going?

Let's make today a good day too!

Excuse me, who are you?

I'm Eikichi Onizuka, her homeroom teacher.

And what are you doing at our school?

Well, how should I put it…

It's a punishment game!

A punishment game?

Yes.

Your school uniform is just so cute,

so the loser has to wear it and walk one lap around this school.

I'm glad I didn't lose. Right, Ayano?

Yeah, right.

-We have to run. -Huh?

-We have to run. -What?

Stop right there!

Like I said, this is a misunderstanding!

Huh? You're not going to look?

Please follow us to the staff room.

Right.

But, I…

It hurts!

Hey, what's wrong?

-Mr. Onizuka. -What is it?

-We're going to run. -What?

We should be fine now.

Yeah.

Don't worry.

I won't tell anyone.

Are you trying to make me feel indebted?

It's not like that.

Your mother was worried too.

There's no way.

Knowing her,

she's definitely going to lecture me for doing something so embarrassing.

No way.

It's true.

She was a high-class lady and had good grades.

But I, her daughter, failed to get into her school twice,

so she was sorely disappointed.

Ever since then,

no matter how hard I tried with piano or flower arrangement,

she's never complimented me even once.

Then, why don't you try talking to your dad?

I did. He's always kind.

He always defends me, telling me not to care about what Mom says.

Sounds like a good father.

Not at all.

Why?

He's been having an affair with his subordinate at work for a while.

After she found out, Mom has been irritated every day.

I see.

You could have talked to Ms. Kashiwabara or me…

Even if I did that…

Nothing good has ever come from doing that!

Huh?

My club advisor back in middle school, and my cram school teacher…

At first they acted nice,

but in the end, they sexually harassed me.

When I talked to someone I thought was my friend about it,

she spilled my secret…

The whole school ostracized me.

Why do I have to keep going through all this?

Please,

just leave me alone.

I'm stupid, so I can't get into a good university,

but I'll never have to worry about money in my life,

and as long as I have social media and AI, I'll be fine.

I understand.

Then,

I have a proposal.

SEISHIN HIGH SCHOOL

You said you wanted me to do something. What is it?

I am going

to hit Ayano now, so could you record it on your smartphone?

What?

What are you talking about?

You're being stupid.

As your homeroom teacher, let me hit you one last time.

If you submit that video to the school, I will no doubt

get fired.

Are you serious?

In return, promise me one thing.

What promise?

Become smarter, Ayano.

What?

From now on, stop saying that you are stupid.

A real idiot

is someone who doesn't believe in their own potential.

And…

A long time ago,

the chairperson who hired a guy like me to teach at her school

told me this.

Okay.

-You're hired. -What?

That person also told me this…

"Onizuka.

Children make mistakes.

A child who doesn't make mistakes learns nothing.

A truly smart person

is someone who lives each day with all their might,

is always smiling and honest, and can take pride in themselves."

Ayano.

I know you've been through a lot of terrible things

and can't trust anyone,

but if you get desperate and spend all your time on social media,

nothing good will come out of it.

You probably don't know this,

but everyone in our class is also fighting through pain and worries

they couldn't tell anyone about, living each day with all their might.

So, you should talk to them more.

I think they'll be a bigger help to you than social media.

Both of you are lecturing me, so high and mighty.

Hurry up. Weren't you going to film yourself hitting me?

Yes.

Ms. Kashiwabara. Do it.

Are you sure?

Could you film it from around here?

What?

Ayano.

Here I go.

Just once, okay?

Miss, let me know when you start recording.

Oh, okay.

All right, go ahead.

Grit your teeth, Ayano.

Just hurry up already.

Here I go.

I recorded it.

The rest is up to you.

Good morning.

Ayano!

What?

Sorry about the other day. I went too far.

It's fine.

Don't quit school, okay?

What?

I have also wished I had gone to a different school.

So I understand how you feel.

But…

everyone in our class is a good person.

Morning!

Good morning.

So now,

I think it's really great that I came to Seishin High.

Thanks to Onicchi and Ms. Kashiwabara, I was able to become close with everyone…

I'm really happy.

I have to go to the staff room.

STAFF ROOM

Why haven't you fired that problematic teacher yet?

Our daughter tried so hard to expose his true self to everyone!

Don't you see it?

I've also been asking the principal for disciplinary action…

No, but…

most of the students in the class said they believe in Mr. Onizuka.

That's obviously because they were talked into it!

There's no way children can make a rational judgment.

Principal, make a decision.

Yes.

Mr. Onizuka.

Oh, yes. What is it?

Unbelievable. Were you sleeping?

What a total piece of work.

Principal, hurry up with the disciplinary action.

Yes…

It's very unfortunate,

but our Seishin High…

No way!

Principal!

Look at this.

THE TRUTH ABOUT EIKICHI ONIZUKA

You've gone and done it now, Onizuka!

What did you do to my daughter?

And you call yourself a teacher?

Wait a minute.

It looks like there's more to it.

What is this?

THIS VIDEO IS FAKE

Who did this?

SORRY FOR SPREADING MISINFORMATION

It was me.

Ayano!

What is the meaning of this?

Mr. Onizuka said if I posted that video, I could get him fired,

but he didn't actually hit me.

Mr. Onizuka

tried to save me, even if it meant making himself out to be the bad guy.

When I did something stupid at Mom's old school,

he led me by the hand as we ran away.

His hand was really warm.

I figured,

if it was him, no matter what happened, he would listen to my worries.

Unlike you two who only showed up after all this time, acting all arrogant.

But you know,

I was even worse.

I didn't study or do club activities, and I even skipped cram school,

all to spend time trashing people on social media.

But from now on,

I want to think hard about lots of things and become smart.

I won't do whatever Mom wants of me anymore,

and I won't become a hypocrite like Dad either.

Living each day with all my might,

always smiling, and being honest…

I want to be a person who can take pride in myself.

CLASS 1-B

And so, Mr. Onizuka has returned as your homeroom teacher.

Welcome back!

Good for you, Onicchi.

Sorry for making you worry.

More importantly, it seems Ayano has something she wants to say.

Everyone, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble.

You see,

I failed my high school entrance exam, so I'm one year older than you.

Until now, though I was smiling on the outside,

deep down I secretly looked down on you.

"No way these kids could understand how I feel."

That's awful!

Awful!

-Meanie! -How awful!

Not cool!

You're the worst!

But I was wrong.

Age doesn't matter.

I'm not alone,

and everyone here is a real friend.

I finally realized it.

So could you please let me be your classmate once more?

Please.

Okay!

All right, then what should her nickname be?

How about Queen or Princess?

No way, that's too cliché.

How about Troublemaker?

-Just shut up already. -Okay.

Well…

If possible, I'd like to go with "Miss Seishin."

What? Why?

Are you trying to say you're the prettiest in our school?

No, that's not it.

I just want to say that the high school I'm meant to attend is this one.

Then let's drop the "Miss"

and just go with "Seishin."

Okay, let's get along!

Seishin.

Same here,

Yuukichi.

All right, let's start homeroom.

Finally,

all of you are looking up from your tablets

and are looking my way.

All right,

now our class is truly a perfect number.

Let's make today a good day too!

Roger!

Okie-dokie, artichokie!

Okie-dokie, artichokie? So lame!

Let's prepare for the festival.

-Onicchi, how about a maid cafe? -Sounds nice.

Anything but that!

Any other ideas?

Bye!

Who the hell rides something this uncool?

Hey!

You bastard! What are you doing?

Wait, Vice Principal, was this yours?

I was thinking, "You have good taste!"

Maybe I should get one too!

Don't try to flatter me!

Don't get cocky that you dodged being fired again.

I'll get you fired sooner or later!

I'll be fine.

I got good ratings from everyone. My class has no problems at all.

Are you okay?

Don't touch me.

Mr. Onizuka! We got trouble! Do you have a moment?

Sure.

-Hey, Onizuka! -You're lame.

Damn him…

What's wrong, Ms. Kashiwabara?

-Quiet! -Okay.

Be quiet!

It's about those two.

What are they doing?

Apparently, they're dating.

What? Seriously?

I didn't know if I should talk to you about it,

but even if Mr. Miyazawa isn't a psychopath,

he may be playing with Ms. Kotone's feelings…

No way, not Ryunosuke.

Anyway, as it's a delicate matter, please handle it carefully.

Understood.

What?

What are you guys doing? Ryunosuke!

What is it?

What the hell are you up to?!

Are you dating?

-Yes. -No.

I'm quitting high school.

You bastard! You laid your hands on my daughter!

Hit me if you want to.

Can you proudly call yourself a Great Teacher?

What on earth have you done?

If you have any problems, rely on me.

Let's do our best for the culture festival!

Yeah!

I can understand what it's like to single-mindedly love someone, though.

I'm not a kid like you all.

Wait a minute. I feel like something like this happened before.

I've also held back this whole time!

Take this, bastard!

I believe in a future where you both are smiling happily together.
