Line 3: {{quote\| ''"Roommates? Mothers?! Times five?!? And they're my teachers too?!?!"''}} Teenaged orphan Chitose Hitotose hates the world and goes through the motions of life. Concerned about his dropping grades, his homeroom teacher stops by for a visit and discovers that he lives alone--thus the solution must be to move in with him and become his new mother! [[Hilarity Ensues]], particularly when ''more'' teachers get into the act. Line 11: The original comedy manga was written by Mutsumi Sasaki and drawn by Shinnosuke Mori, running from 1999 to 2002. In 2001, it was adapted into a 5 episode OVA. A 13 episode TV anime was produced in 2002 and followed by its sequel series ''Happy Lesson Advance'' in 2003. In 2004, a second, 3 episode OVA series titled ''Happy Lesson: The Final'' was released. Some lesser known Dreamcast games were also made. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This anime provides example of: ===~~ * [[Adult Child]]: Kanna. Uzuki most of the time. * [[Balloon Belly]]: Satsuki in episode 4. Line 19: * [[Big Eater]]: Satsuki and Hazuki, though the latter wins in an actual eating contest between the two. * [[Big No]]: The Biology class' reaction when the assignment of the day is "Dissection: Live Chicks". Note that said chicks are [[Ridiculously Cute Critter\|Ridiculously Cute Critters]] that might as well be the series' mascot. * [[Bland -Name Product]]: Crocrosoft Windiis XXXP and Crocrosoft Mord. Like most, there are also [[Sony\|Pony]] televisions. * [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Satsuki Gokajo, the gym teacher. * [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: the end of the first season Line 30: * [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: The pair in the second episode, they show up again in the second season. * [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]: Uzuki Shitenno, the art teacher. * [[Cry Cute]]: Fumitsuki at the final episode of the first season after {{spoiler\|confessing to Chitose}}, but immediately spoiled by {{spoiler\|Kanna's unintentional [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]] due to the side effect of her electric net that they can't remember what just happened}}. * [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Fumitsuki * [[A Day in ~~The~~the Limelight]]: A lot of episodes tend to focus on one of the mothers and her relationship with Chitose. Most of the time, though, the remaining mothers aren't pushed ''entirely'' out of the screen. Kanna, Fumitsuki, Hazuki, Minazuki, and Nagatsuki have at least one episode of their own too. * [[Delinquent]]: Chitose in the backstory, stage two of the premise of the plot. * [[Does Not Like Men]]: Kanna is extremely afraid of men, except Chitose who she likes. * [[Dude, She's Like, in Aa Coma]]: Subverted, {{spoiler\|when Chitose apparently was knocked out unconcious, he fell on top of Fumitsuki. Though she is not above taking advantage of the situation, something heavy dropped on his head, probably resulting in their first kiss.}} * [[Ear Cleaning]]: During a "best mother" competition, Chitose endures a [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel\|particularly horrifying]] version when Kisaragi [[Strapped to An Operating Table\|straps him down to a table]] and tests his pain tolerance, resulting in a punctured ear drum when she goes too far. * [[Escalating War]]: Usually between Satsuki and Uzuki. * [[Evil Laugh]]: Kanna * [[Exiled to ~~The~~the Couch]]: Non-couple example: Chitose has to sleep on the couch because all the mothers occupy all the bedrooms and, apparently, each wanting their own rooms. * [[Fandom Gank]]: Anime fans view the ending as this trope, because {{spoiler\|Chitose and Fumitsuki found love, yet didn't hook up. Because of "They forgot" reasons.}} * [[Expy]]: Kisaragi is an ''extremely'' cute one of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion\|Ayanami Rei.]]▼ * [[Five -Man Band\|Five]] <s> [[Five -Man Band\|Man]]</s> [[Five -Man Band\|Mom Band]] [[The Hero]]: Mutsuki [[The Lancer]]: Yayoi Line 47: [[The Big Guy]]: Satsuki [[The Chick]]: Uzuki * [[For Science!]]: Kisaragi Ninomai, the science teacher. * [[Gainaxing]]: Done with the one episode character Beauty Honey in the second season. * [[Genki Girl]]: Satsuki * [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Uzuki * [[Hair Antennae]]: Kanna * [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Yayoi. Pretty much the entire male student body fakes sick to be treated by her. * [[Hikikomori]]: Chitose starts out as this. * [[Hot Springs Episode]] Line 59: * [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Kisaragi have been seen pulling out her strange devices out of nowhere. Yayoi can pull out a katana out of thin air. * [[Hyperspace Mallet]]: Kisaragi and Kanna, weirdly with some version numbers on them as though they are some high tech gadgets. * [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]]: Nagatsuki * [[Lap Pillow]]: Parodied at least once when Chitose has his head forcibly held in Satsuki's lap while she sings an off-key "lullaby" in which she threatens to beat him up if he doesn't go to sleep. * [[Loony Friends Improve Your Personality]]: The plot kicks off when Chitose's teachers decide that what he really needs are five [[Hot Moms]] running his life. He discovers, much to everyone's surprise, that he does become a more well-adjusted person because of them. Line 69: * [[Miko]]: Yayoi Sanzenin, also the [[School Nurse]]. * [[Moment Killer]] * [[Nerd Glasses]]: Kanna usually wears these as part of her [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]. * [[Not Blood Siblings]]: Chitose, Minazuki and Hazuki to each other. Unlike some other examples, this ''really'' is closer to family. While {{spoiler\|Minazuki}} obviously holds romantic feelings for Chitose, {{spoiler\|she}} never acts on them. * [[Ocular Gushers]] Line 79: * [[Pointed Ears]]: Student C, strangely * [[Pretty Freeloader]]: Subverted. The mothers actively help with the house chores and cooking, have jobs and apparently pay the food bill. So, really, ''Chitose'' is the freeloader (but as pointed out early in the first TV season, he does actually own the house). Also Hazuki and Minazuki live together in an apartment seperately since Hazuki is an [[Idol Singer]]. ▲* [[Rei Ayanami Expy]]: Kisaragi is an ''extremely'' cute one ~~of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion\|Ayanami Rei~~.]] * [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Usually by Kanna and Student B, though others also flash them sometimes. * [[Sensei ~~Chan~~-chan]] -: Uzuki again. * [[Shout -Out]]: In one of episodes in second season, there is an appearance of a pair of treasure hunter that are total shout outs to [[Cutey Honey]] and Team Rocket of [[Pokémon (~~Anime~~anime)\|Pokémon]]. * [[Stalker ~~With~~with a Crush]]: Kanna, and Fumitsuki too sometimes. * [[Temporal Theme Naming]]: The -tsuki (or -zuki) in the teachers' first names are not coincidental. They are named after medieval Japanese names of the months. ** Their birthdays are even the same month and same day of their names. Line 89 ⟶ 90: * [[The Rival]]: Fumitsuki and Kanna. Nagatsuki for Chitose in second season. * [[Those Two Guys]]: Students B and C, who wear strips of paper bearing their "names" on their head. * [[Token ~~Mini Moe~~Loli]]: Uzuki and Minazuki. * [[Tsundere]]: Satsuki is revealed to be this in her focus episode in the first season. Fumitsuki is also very much so, usually somewhat rough with Chitose, though she only [[Cry Cute\|show her soft side]] the first time on the last episode of the first season. * [[Unwanted Harem]]: Deconstructed. Also subverted in that all the mothers aren't actually vying for the lead's love {{spoiler\|except Mutsuki, as it turns out}} so much as them making him a good person (see [[Delinquent]]). His sisters keep a strictly brother-sister relationship. Nagatsuki is more of [[The Rival]] than anything. Really, the only person that's actively out for his attention is Fumitsuki and Kanna (who barely counts due to being as socially inept as [[Full Metal Panic!\|Sousuke Sagara]]). ** {{spoiler\|And then, it's all played straight in the very final episode, at the end of Season 3, when all five of his mothers unanimously decide that now that he's already fully-grown, what he now needs are not mothers, but ''wives''. Cue instant [[Marry Them All]] via [[Relationship Upgrade]] as they all instantaneously change into bridal gowns and marry him ''together'' on the spot.}} * [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Mutsuki Ichimonji, the homeroom teacher; cooks, cleans and is gentle to Chitose until he slacks off. Also, she teaches Japanese classics at the school. Yayoi also displays some of this.
