Sensei Datte Yarashii Koto Shitai

After watching his long-held aspirations of building a career as a professional musician collapse, Ren finds himself with no other option than to return home and work at the family-run kindergarten. Burdened by his dashed dreams, his daily routine is defined by a lack of motivation and a distinctly lazy demeanor that immediately sets him at odds with the workplace culture. At the center of this tension is Kiichi, an intensely serious and dedicated fellow teacher whom Ren observes closely day in and day out. Though their personalities fundamentally clash, Ren soon finds himself captivated by Kiichi's unwavering dedication. As the strict educator's genuine kindness and profound purity begin to break through Ren's cynical exterior, they spark a series of entirely new and deeply personal emotions within him, complicating his outlook on both his career and his daily life.
