Kodomo no Jikan (TV)

Daisuke Aoki begins teaching a third-grade class determined to be someone his pupils can trust. Rin Kokonoe and her friends Kuro and Mimi quickly challenge his confidence, exposing how little his enthusiasm has prepared him for the classroom.

Behind their difficult behavior lie family troubles and emotions the children cannot easily explain. Aoki must learn to recognize those needs and earn their trust while maintaining the judgment and boundaries his responsibility as a teacher demands.
