* ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' has two unmarried teachers who are on friendly enough terms that they follow the girls on vacation. This is probably an exaggeration of the closer relationship Japanese students have with their teachers.

** There's also that Yukari and Nyamo ''do'' have a lot of free time -- Yukari is such a [[Jerkass]] that nobody except her best friend Nyamo and her students will voluntarily associate with her, leaving both her and Nyamo with absolutely no social life outside school.

*** Like the [[Christmas Cake|Kuroi-sensei]] example below, Nyamo has free-time because she's single at an age when she really should be married already or getting ready to be wed (at least by [[Values Dissonance|Japanese standards]]).

* Likewise, ''[[Lucky Star]]'' has two such adults, who are used whenever the girls take a driving trip. Kuroi-sensei even manages to invade Konata's online gaming time during the evenings. Likewise, Konata's cousin Yui is around the girls enough that Kuroi assumes Yui has to be unmarried, since we don't see her husband (on business trips) around at all. Konata wondered if that is why Kuroi-sensei became a [[Christmas Cake]].

* ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'': Since Gordy the janitor always slacks off at work, deciding he'll "let the night guy get it," he has plenty of time to hang out with the [[Three Amigos]] and other students, and help with [[A Simple Plan|simple plans]]. And [[Animal Nemesis|obsessively chase]] that [[Weasel Mascot]].

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' had a half-decent excuse for why Giles hung around three of the kids in school--they were a freak (Buffy), a dork (Xander), a nerd (Willow), and he was the librarian; where else where they going to hang out? Plus, he was Buffy's Watcher and therefore obligated to watch her. Then, the school blew up. Having also been fired from the Watcher's Council earlier in season 3, he suddenly found himself with a ''lot'' of free time in season 4.

** And by the point of season 5, when he got gainful employment again, it didn't need explaining, as the show kept the [[True Companions]] concept mostly alive.
