Kodomo no Jikan (TV)

Third-grade teacher Daisuke Aoki never expected that his very first class would turn into one of the toughest trials of his life. He arrived full of enthusiasm and hope for a successful start to his teaching career, but things went wrong from the very beginning. His attempts to connect with the children led to misunderstandings and awkward moments, and one pupil in particular, Rin Kokonoe, proved especially difficult. From the start this girl stood out from the others with her unpredictable behavior and unusual outlook on the world. When Aoki showed her kindness and understanding, he could not have imagined the result: Rin decided that Aoki-sensei should become her lover.

Such an unexpected and inappropriate wish puts the young teacher in an extremely difficult position. Rin does not simply show interest in him – she actively tries to seduce him, and her persistence both surprises and embarrasses Aoki. He senses that something more than a childish whim lies behind her behavior. What are Rin's true motives, and why did she choose him? Facing a hard moral and professional dilemma, Aoki must find a way to help Rin deal with her feelings without harming either her or himself, understand the reasons behind her actions and steer her energy in a positive direction.
