Synopsis:

Junichirou Kagami is a brilliant but reclusive physicist whose life revolves around his anime blog, dictated by a peculiar condition that compels him to pursue only his deepest desires. His sister's intervention pushes him into an unexpected role as a high school physics teacher – a position he initially resists. The series follows Junichirou’s unconventional approach to education, navigating the challenges of connecting with students who seem equally adrift.

Through relatable classroom scenarios and personal interactions, the narrative explores themes of self-discovery and finding purpose beyond traditional success. As Junichirou guides his class through physics concepts – often intertwined with his passion for anime – he also confronts his own stagnation and learns to foster genuine connections. The story presents a thoughtful examination of unconventional paths toward fulfillment and the value of pursuing one's passions, even when they seem impractical.
