[[Otaku|Kagami Junichirou]] was known as a [[The Ace|physics genius as a teenager]], and he was even published in "Nature." However, after college, he suddenly lost all interest in science. As a [[NEET]], he's devoted himself to his anime blog and nerdy collecting habits. He claims he has a serious illness known as the "[[Hikikomori|Don't Care Syndrome]]". Desperate to get him to do something with his life, his [[Expy|little]] [[My Little Sister Can't Be This CuteOreimo|sister]] manages to get him a job teaching physics at his old high school. He's certainly an [[Crazy Awesome|unconventional teacher]], but he becomes fairly popular with the students. After helping a girl who's being ruthlessly bullied, Kagami finds that he actually likes teaching. Will he continue his career as a weird teacher? Will he go back into physics? Or will he end up back where he started?
 
''Denpa'''Ultimate KyoushiOtaku Teacher''''' (The''Denpa UltimateKyoushi'' Teacherin Japanese) is a weekly manga series by Takeshi Azuma about a 22-year-old [[Otaku]] who reluctantly becomes a teacher. It seems to be inspired by ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'', but instead the main lead handles [[Heel Face Turn|problematic students]] the [[Badass Bookworm]] way, unlike Onizuka's [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|notoriously rough]] but [[Crazy Awesome|nonetheless awesome tactics]]. Nonetheless, it still has the same theme and spirit as GTO.
 
Not to be confused with ''[[Ultimate Teacher]]'' - if you value your sanity.
=== Tropes in Denpa Kyoushi include: ===
 
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]] [[Student Council President|President]]: Makina Momozono acts as the school chairman's [[Number Two|right-hand man]] and thus can decide whether a student or teacher stays or leaves the school. Until [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Kagami]] came along, that is.
* [[The Ace]]: Kagami as a [[Teen Genius|teenager]], and his younger sister Suzune.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Miho Kitou. [[Heel Face Turn|She got better]].
* [[Anime Hair]]: Kagami has a rather outrageous quiff. So does Nanami, albeit lighter.
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Kagami is [[The Ace|so good at Science]] that he was able to prove a scientific theory without breaking a sweat when the best scientists in the world have trouble ''disproving'' it. And yet he doesn't fear [[Red Baron|monsters]] like [[The Big Guy|Seijuurou Nanami]] ''and'' can take punches to the face and being whacked by a baseball bat on an everyday basis. [[Badass|Bad. Ass.]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Makina ''hates'' people violating school rules.
** ''Never'' diss Anime in front of Kagami. Also, don't let Suzune know you're an [[Otaku]], unless you're a mangaka.
* [[Born Winner]]: Kanan Chinami is born with a 2.5D voice, which is said to be the ideal voice for anime [[Seiyuu|seiyuus]]. [[Blessed Withwith Suck|She did not take this too happily at first]], though. But with Kagami's [[Cursed Withwith Awesome|encouragement]], she decides to become the official voice mascot of Hiiragi Private Academy.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Despite being an [[Hikikomori|insufferable]] [[Otaku]], Kagami is a certified genius and is so good at science and technology that even ''CERM'' wants to seriously hire him.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Chairman Hiiragi.
Line 20 ⟶ 22:
* [[Cute Mute]]: Kanan prefers to communicate through e-mails because she thinks people are more interested of [[Born Winner|her voice]] than herself. [[Unexplained Recovery|She got better]], though.
* [[Delinquents]]: Minako Kanou used to be part of Miho's [[Girl Posse]], until a sympathetic person from the Internet [[Heel Realization|inspired her to become a hero]]. {{spoiler|Said person was actually Kagami.}} This is how Minako came to know about Nanami, by the way.
* [[Desperately Looking for Aa Purpose In Life]]: Initially, Kagami was forced by her sister to become a teacher to get him out of his [[NEET]] status, then was sacked barely a month after he started, then got offered a job for [[Writing Around Trademarks|CERM]], then got hired by an eccentric school chairman, ''then'' gladly accepts an offer from an old classmate of his after getting talked out of teaching by the CERM representative who came to his house earlier. Apparently, it ''is'' difficult for a [[Hard Core]] [[Otaku]] to get a life.
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Sachiko Tanaka, a.k.a. [[Mangaka|Kisaki Tenjouin]].
* [[Expy]]: A peculiarity of this manga is that several characters just look like grown up (or down) versions characters from other famous anime and mangas.
** [[My Little Sister Can't Be This CuteOreimo|Suzune Junichirou can't be this cute]].
** Kagami-sensei is basically an [[She Is's All Grown Up|aged-up]] [[Otaku]] version of [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Negi Springfield]].
** Add six-seven years or so to [[Bakemonogatari|Mayoi]] and you get Makina.

* [[Improbable Age]]: [[Informed Attribute|According to Kagami]], Minami was once an exchange student in a Maid Academy in England, and she's now 17 years old. [[Fridge Logic|How the hell did that happen?]]
Line 40 ⟶ 42:
* [[Morality Pet]]: Minako for Nanami, and [[Genre Savvy|she knows it]].
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Kagami can make up a nickname for anyone he meets almost instantly, such as "[[Armor-Piercing Slap|Bitch Slap]] or [[Megaton Punch|Face Punch]]" for Minako, "[[Spice Girls]]" for Miho, "[[Trademark Favorite Food|Fries]]" for Kiriko, "[[The Big Guy|Roboman]]" for Nanami, "[[Fashionable Asymmetry|Irregular]] [[Twin Tails]]" for Makina, and "[[Born Winner|Anime Girl]]" for Kanan.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Koyomi Hiiragi, School Chairman of Hiiragi Private Academy; and Minami Kitayama, the [[Improbable Age|17-year-old]] manager of the [[Maid Cafe]] Kiriko works at who looks and acts five years younger. [[Epileptic Trees|Of course, it is perfectly possible that Minami is a member of the Forever 17 club and has availed herself of]] [[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index|Academy City]]'s [[Epileptic Trees|latest technology to keep herself younger-looking.]]
* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Again, Chairman Hiiragi.
* [[Playful Hacker]]: Kagami as a result of being a hardcore [[Otaku]]. He created a chatroom which [[Nigh Invulnerable|has defenses comparable to that of the Pentagon]](!), [[The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday|a home tutor service]] which have helped a lot of students ace their exams, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|his very own]] ''[[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]''!
* [[Proud to Be Aa Geek]]: Kagami, [[Up to Eleven|FULL STOP]].{{context}}
* [[Red Baron]]: Kiriko Shikishima the "[[Idol Singer|Cutter]] [[Meido|Girl]]" and Seijuurou Nanami the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Monster of Hiiragi Private Academy]].
* [[Redheaded Hero]]: Kagami.
* [[Serious Business]]: For Kagami and Sachiko, Manga is ''serious business''.
Line 50 ⟶ 51:
* [[Shout-Out]]
** Kagami's lifelong dream is to create a [[Doraemon|Dokodemo Door]] / [[Portal Door|Anywhere Door]].
** In Chapter 12, a student wonders if Kagami was "the [[Great Teacher Onizuka]]" since he tamed "that [[Red Baron|monster Seijuurou Nanami]]".
** Chapter 16's [[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index|To Aru Meido no Tsunde Lesson]] and "[[Memetic Mutation|Sogebu!]]" <ref>(contraction of [[Unlucky Everydude|Touma]] [[Anti-Magic|Kamijou]]'s famous [[Catch Phrase]] "'''So'''no '''Ge'''nsou wo '''Bu'''chikorosu! (''I will kill that illusion of yours!'')"</ref>
** CERM teleport experiments, microwave ovens and bananas, otaku physic geniuses drinking Dr. Peter, tutturu... [[Steins ;Gate|it sounds vaguely familiar]].

* [[Write Who You Know]]: Sachiko's usual MO when writing manga. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity Ensued]] when she applied this trope to pretty much ''anyone'', but ended up in a rather [[Epic Fail|spectacular failure]].
* [[Wooden Katanas Are Even Better]]: Makina.
