Mikami Sensei Series

Mikami Takashi, a Tokyo University graduate and elite bureaucrat at the Ministry of Education with the intention to “change Japan’s education system,” soon realizes how far the reality is from his idealistic vision. Through a newly established bureaucrat dispatch system, Mikami is assigned to a private high school—effectively a demotions-style personnel transfer. Despite this, he takes the teaching podium, determined to raise his voice from the ground level and reform the system, confronting the existing power structures head-on.

This spin-off short drama series is set at one of the prefecture’s top college preparatory schools featured in the original drama “Mikami Sensei” and portrays the true-to-life high school experiences of its students. The series consists of eight self-contained episodes, each approximately 90 seconds long, presented in an omnibus format.
Each episode features different students, allowing viewers to catch glimpses of their typical high school life, such as scenes at the school gates during arrival and departure times, or moments in the hallways during an ordinary day.
