Everything about this gave me Iruma vibes (very much a good thing), but it doesn’t live up to any of Iruma’s strengths and brings its own weird and bad elements to the table. The thing about Iruma as a character is that he’s a coward, but he’s good-hearted and compassionate, which makes him a flawed but likeable hero that you want to see grow. Sensei, on the other hand, has his cowardice balanced out by… a uniform fetish?? One that he claims is somehow not aimed at the students, even though he seems very focused on Zashiki wearing her uniform. Because of that, a lot of the comedy got tied up in him being creepy to his students (either on purpose or on accident), which felt way more uncomfortable than funny. The mandragoras were cute, though. 2/5.
Go watch Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun.
