Synopsis

Everyone agrees that Hiyori Hiwamura is breathtakingly beautiful, yet her personality seems to tell a different story. Though she is gentle and kind-hearted, her expression often appears cold and intimidating. Because of this, when she becomes a high school teacher, her students begin calling her “Yowa Yowa Sensei”, meaning “scary, scary sensei.”

Burdened by her misunderstood image, Hiyori resigns herself to a lonely life as a teacher—until one of her students, Akihito Abikura, discovers the warmth and clumsiness hidden behind her stern demeanor. Determined to show everyone who she truly is, Akihito’s small act of kindness becomes the spark for an unexpected and scandalous romance to unfold.
