What types of misunderstandings can happen while Godai teaches at the school?

Characters in order of appearance[]

Quotes[]

  • "All right. I'll put in a good word for you" (Mr. Otonashi)
  • "The very school where the manager and her husband had met. That's where I'll be student teaching" (Yūsaku Godai)
  • "Uhh... I will be your Earth Science teacher. My name is Mr. Otonashi" (Sōichirō Otonashi)
  • "Sure. It's my job as the class president" (Kyōko Otonashi)
  • "Sure. It's my job as the class president" (Ibuki Yagami)
  • "Looking through a yearbook, tear-eyed? His girlfriend must have passed away. She must have gone to this school. No wonder he's a melancholy man" (Ibuki Yagami)
  • "That's up to you. It's your room" (Kyōko Otonashi)
  • "Why should I? You're just assuming that they're an item" (Ibuki Yagami)
  • "I get it. A proclamation of war" (Kyōko Otonashi)

Trivia[]

  • In first scene where Kyōko is cooking at her room, she is humming the song "Yume no Iriguchi E" ("Entrance Into a Dream"), that interestingly enough, is performed by Sumi Shimamoto (Kyōko Otonashi's seiyu) herself.
  • Godai teaches literature at class 2-4 in Kyōko's old high school. This could be a nod to Urusei Yatsura where the protagonists are in class 2-4 of Tomobiki high school.
  • In the scene where Ibuki Yagami finds Godai at the library, there is a book on a shelf that is called "A-Ha Music". That is probably a reference to the Norwegian synth-pop band of the 80s.
  • Fragments of the 1914 novel "Kokoro" (Heart) by japanese author Soseki Natsume are read in Godai's class. Natsume is one of the most important authors of japanese literature.
