Ultimate Otaku Teacher

Characters

Junichiro Kagami is a 24-year-old otaku and physics graduate who gained notoriety at 17 for a paper theorizing a teleportation device like Doraemon's Anywhere Door. Despite recruitment offers from research institutions, he refuses due to a self-diagnosed condition called YD. He teaches with eccentric methods, often incorporating competitive video games, and assigns nicknames to those he meets. Suzune Kagami, his younger sister, controls household finances and strikes him with a bat when angered; she is the only person he fears.

Minako Kanō, former leader of the Black Oracle gang, was inspired by Junichiro's words to become a voice actress; he nicknames her Face-Punch. Miho Kitō, another former gang member, initially bullied Kanō but changed her ways after Junichiro's bullying lesson, befriending Kanō and aspiring to be a chef; he calls her Wicked Blondie. Yukino Kuribayashi, the class representative, initially disapproved of Junichiro but later saw his dedication; a photograph of their confrontation led to his dismissal. Koyomi Hīragi is also a character.
