Synopsis

Teacher Nozomu Itoshiki finds reasons for despair in every corner of everyday life, but his class never lets him brood in peace. Kafuka’s unshakable optimism and Chiri’s insistence on perfect order can turn any discussion into an unforeseen dispute.

Social customs, language, and ordinary behavior provide endless new arguments. Whenever Itoshiki tries to explain the world through his pessimism, his students answer with perspectives as eccentric as his own.
