Comments

The first episode seems to describe all the bad things that the main character has: lazy, unmotivated, but still tries to act cool. That’s how Glenn, the new part-time teacher got scolded by a diligent and smart student, Sistine. There are some parts when Glenn allegedly unveils his true ability as a teacher, but it still ends up as a misunderstanding. In the end, both the students and viewers will think that he really is a hopeless teacher. But, there are some scenes where Glenn recalls his past. They’re still hazy and uncertain, could be some clue on why this teacher acts lazily like that. It is still have to be seen in the next episodes how Glenn will show “intense dedication to protect his students”, as told in the synopsis above.
