Hikikomori Sensei

Uwashima Yohei is a so-called “hikikomori survivor” who was withdrawn from the world for 11 years. After he finally escaped from his room 3 years ago, he opened a yakitori restaurant with the help of locals but is still reintegrating into society. He is asked to be a part-time teacher at a junior high school. The principal, Sakaki Tetsuzo, wants someone with a hikikomori background to help truant students. With the support of those around him, he finally decides to start teaching.

Uwashima Yohei, a “50-year-old man who used to be a social recluse” played by Jiro Sato, is back!

Two years later, Yohei returns to school and meets young caregivers, young homeless people… young people who are suffering in the post-Corona school and society.

This heartwarming school drama, in which Yohei steps out of his non-attending class and does his best to be there for all the young people, is about to begin again!
