Doki Doki School Hours: Difference between revisions

''[['''Doki Doki School Hours]]''''' (known as ''Sensei no Ojikan'' in Japan) is a manga by Tamami Momose, depicting the adventures of 27-year old Suzuki Mika, homeroom teacher of class 2A of Okitsu High School. Because of her [[Adult Child|diminutive size]] she often feels overwhelmed by the antics of her students. They form quite an [[Wacky Homeroom|eccentric bunch]]: we have our fashion-victim, an [[otaku]], a [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|lesbian student with a crush on her teacher]], a narcissistic crossdresser and a gay guy obsessing over a classmate who [[Selective Obliviousness|doesn't have a clue and only thinks of sports]].

The anime series, produced by [[J.C.Staff]] and broadcast in 2004, starts out with typical high school fare, like festivals, sports events and the ever-dreaded "[[Measuring Day]]". Later on there is a change of pace, leading to a series of genre spoofs vaguely reminiscent of ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'', only to have things become very serious again by the last episode. The mood and animation style are very loose and cartoonish and seems to have been influenced by ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' quite a bit, even though the manga it is based on actually pre-dates ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' by a few years. ''[['''Doki Doki School Hours]]''''' is highly recommended for viewers who love bizarre characters and dry humour interspersed with some genuinely touching moments.
