Description

When despair about the world and his own fate grips him, Nozomu Itoshiki regularly tries to kill himself, though so far it has remained an attempt. In his new job as a teacher, he now has an audience for his pessimistic views for the first time, but while he now educates his students about the harsh reality as he sees it, he has to realise that they themselves represent various extremes of (Japanese) society. From the hard-headed optimist Kafuka, who always puts the grievances he points out in a positive light, to the perfectionist Chiri, who wants to change the world according to her ideas, by force if necessary, to the stalker Matoi. A colourful bunch of students with twisted views and whims who, together with their teacher, undertake a journey through the peculiarities (and abysses) of Japanese society in episodic stories and also devote themselves to the otaku subculture to some extent in this social satire.
Wenn ihn die Verzweiflung über die Welt und sein eigenes Schicksal packt, versucht Nozomu Itoshiki sich regelmäßig umzubringen, wobei es bisher noch beim Versuch geblieben ist. In seiner neuen Anstellung als Lehrer hat er nun erstmals Publikum für seine pessimistischen Ansichten, doch während er seine Schüler nun über die von ihm so gesehene harsche Realität aufklärt, muss er feststellen, dass diese selbst diverse Extreme der (japanischen) Gesellschaft darstellen. Von der beinharten Optimistin Kafuka, die die von ihm aufgezeigten Missständen immer ins positive Licht rückt, über die perfektionistische Chiri, die die Welt nach ihren Vorstellungen ordnen will, notfalls mit Gewalt, bis hin zur Stalkerin Matoi. Ein bunter Haufen von Schülern mit verqueren Ansichten und Marotten, die gemeinsam mit ihrem Lehrer in episodischen Geschichten eine Reise durch die Eigenheiten (und Abgründe) der japanischen Gesellschaft unternehmen und sich in dieser Gesellschaftssatire auch in einigem Umfang der Otaku-Subkultur widmen.
