Synopsis

Nozomu Itoshiki is a high school teacher who's pretty much given up on life. He's tired of the daily grind, makes no secret of his despair, and is genuinely waiting for an opportunity to end it all. But his plans keep getting derailed by his students' bizarre and often questionable problems. Just when he thinks he's finally going to do it, he'll get pulled into some ridiculous situation that forces him to save one of them from spiraling into the same pit of misery he's stuck in. So despite being constantly wrapped up in an existential crisis, Itoshiki stumbles through his surreal day-to-day life trying to find some kind of peace—while the escape he's looking for keeps slipping away.
