{{cleanup|As per [[Topic:V6clis0x6yp8rbf6|the discussion on the trope's Talk page]], the Real Life examples need to be cleaned up. "To avoid this turning into Portal:juicy_tabloids, maybe limit to just the cases (whether proven or alleged) that inspired work(s) of fiction listed on the page (such as Letourneau). And perhaps para-scientific studies can be grandfathered in." Also, a short paragraph stating that this is how we are handling Real Life examples of this trope needs to be added to the trope description. Then the "No Real Life Examples, Please" category can be removed from the page.}}

=== Anime and Manga ===
* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' featured a 4th grade girl, Rika Sasaki, in a relationship with her homeroom teacher, Yoshiyuki Terada. Yeah. To their credit, the manga made it clear they'll be waiting until they're married before they actually ''do'' anything sexually intimate (which would be at the age of at least 16 in Japan), and the anime made the crush [[Precocious Crush|completely one-sided on the girl's part]].
** Also, the main characterscharacter's parents. In a subversion they met when Nadeshiko was in high school and Fujitaka was working there as a teacher, and it was [[Love At First Sight]]... but they got married only after her graduation.
** Subverted with Kaho and Touya. They ''did'' have a brief fling, yeah, but only after Kaho finished her substitute teacher stint in his school. Not to mention, Kaho cut the relationship since she was going abroads to finish her education {{spoiler|and not to mention, she already knew that in the future, [[Second Love|they'd fall for other persons]] (Eriol for her, and [[Ho Yay|Yukito]] for [[Bi the Way|Touya]]) and become [[Platonic Life Partners]]}}
* In ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'', Hanon has a gigantic infatuation with her music teacher, who she refers to as Tarou-chan.
Line 53:
* The story ''The First Goodbye'' from the hentai collection ''[[Virgin Night]]'' is a [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructed]] edition. It's made pretty clear that Saki is a female [[Casanova]], and poor Kou is riddled with uncertainty about what this relationship is really made of. {{spoiler|Then he gets a notice of Saki's wedding at the end}}
* A Hentai/Romance manga called "Teacher and Student" by artist Fuuga revolves around the budding relationship between a student and his teacher when an eviction causes them to move in together. Interestingly, there's a good deal of focus on their own concerns about the relationship, as opposed to being worried about what others will think. {{spoiler|subverted in that by the end, she's resigned and is no longer his teacher.}}
* In ''[[Kodomo no Jikan]]'', third grader Rin develops a crush on her homeroom teacher. Unfortunately, the approach [[Fille Fatale|she]] takes to deal with it is "[[Be a Whore to Get Your Man]]".
 
=== Comic Books ===
Line 84:
* In ''The Grumpy Bunny'' series of books by Justine Korman and illustrated by Lucinda McQueen, Hopper the Grumpy Bunny (a teacher), is hot for Lilac, the music teacher.
* In ''Middle Ground'' by Ursula Zilinsky a gay man in his 30s mentions having been in love with his housemaster at school.
* ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Chamber of Secrets (novel)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''. Hermione has a pretty obvious crush on Lockhart, [[Unrequited Love|much to the chagrin of Ron.]]
* ''[[Warrior Cats]]'': [[Word of God]] has confirmed that Cinderpelt, while she was Firestar's apprentice, was [[Hot for Teacher]]. However, Firestar, being... er, [[Chaste Hero|Firestar]], [[All Love Is Unrequited|wasn't]] [[Hot for Student]].
* In ''[[Anne of Green Gables|Anne of Avonlea]]'', Anne receives a rather verbose love letter form one her students [[Les Yay|Annetta Bell]]. Although, the letter is revealed to be [[Plagiarism in Fiction|plagiarized]] from several love letters Annetta's mother's former beau wrote. Annetta insists she really does love Anne with all her heart.
Line 130:
* This student-has-crush-on-teacher version can also be found in ''[[Peanuts]]'.
** Linus doesn't worship Miss Othmar, he is just very fond of the ground she walks upon...
* In ''[[Zits]]'', Jeremy has an attractive guidance counselor, and often has some rather explicit fantasies about her. [[Downplayed Trope| Not by choice]]; in one strip where this happens, when she asks him what's on his mind, he asks, "Can't we just talk about my schedule instead?"
 
=== [[Video Games]] ===
Line 160 ⟶ 161:
=== Anime and Manga ===
* It's implied that Komoe-sensei of ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' has a crush on Touma. For added [[squick]], she looks like a little girl.
* In ''[[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Haré+Guu]] Deluxe'' when Hare tries to cheer up his scary [[Mood Swinger|Mood swinging]] substitute teacher after her attempted relationship with his regular teacher fails, she turns her attention to him to Hare's horror.
* In ''[[Chou Kuse ni Narisou]]'', Nagisa is chased by a [[Yaoi Guys|homosexual male]] teacher who [[Crossdresser|mistakes her for a boy]].
* ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', in which it's a deliberate psychological ploy by the [[Big Bad]] to manipulate the [[Tragic Hero]]. Very [[Squick]]y.
Line 184 ⟶ 185:
* One of Keima's captures in ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'' involved a student teacher who thinks of him as a genius but troubled student. {{spoiler|When she was done teaching, ''she'' kissed ''him''.}}
* ''[[Kyo Kara Maoh!]]'': [[Ho Yay|Gunter toward Yuuri]].
* There are quite a lot of jokes about this in ''[[My Hero Academia]]'' regarding Midnight, and the way she lulls Sero to sleep during the Final Exam arc would have been pretty creepy had you not known it was a drill; ultimately, however, averted.

Line 268 ⟶ 270:
* In ''[[Chobits]]'', a secondary main character (the protagonist's friend), ends up marrying off their [[Cram School]] teacher saving her from a shaky relationship with her husband. Though in this case he was a 18-19 [[Ronin]] and she was in her mid-twenties and therefore this wasn't as iffy as usual for a CLAMP case of this trope.
* ''[[I My Me! Strawberry Eggs]]'' likewise offers the promise of a happy ending several years later after the girl in question has matured a little.
* The ''raison d'etre'' of ''[[Please Teacher!]]''.
** With the justification that the main character had a strange medical condition that, at one point, left him in a coma long enough that his body didn't age for three years - leaving him chronologically 18 though mentally (and physically) still 15. This is less of a justification for the age difference (Mizuho's age being undisclosed), and more to enable Kei to marry and live with with Mizuho legally. Ironically, the issue seems less about the age difference and more about her being Kei's teacher, making their romance an awkward situation the two are called upon to conceal as it is a breach of the school's professional propriety.
** In a humorous twist, after Kei confirms his "marriage" to the principal, the principal reveals his own [[May–December Romance]] with a former student to them, leading both Kei and Mizuho to wonder whether it was entirely legal. Their wondering aloud about the girl's age, however, has the principal coughing at their moral inconsistency, prompting them not to inquire into the matter any further.
